Hyundai Sonata 2009 price??? PLease help?

[bakshi_rohan]

I am looking for a 2009 Hyundai Sonata, and this dealer who is about 100 miles away from me(I live in the mountains!!) is saying that the price of the car is $13,500, atleast 1000 dollars less than other dealers. It is a manual, which is the only reason I see he has such cheap cars. He wants me to come for a test drive and I have done alot of research about this dealer, and my best friend bought the same car, just an earlier model from the same dealer. Is it a scam?? I do not want to make the journey(dont have a car yet) and then given a surprise!!! PLEASE HELP ME

It probably isn't a scam. The car is 1000 dollars less because it is a manual. An automatic usually costs 1000 to 3000 dollars. If i were you i would go ahead and make the 100 mile journey. And also, if your friend bought the same car from the same dealer and it was fine there should be no problems at all.
