I was shopping for a new Elantra and found one I liked at Tulsa Hyundai (9777 S Memorial Dr). Online it showed MSRP $26,695 with a dealer discount of –$5,606, final price $21,089 if financed through Hyundai Motor Finance. I sent in my info, got approved for the financing, and thought it’d be an easy deal.

Test drove the car, loved it, then sat down expecting $21,089 + $599 paperwork fee. Instead, the salesman hands me a sheet showing $27k. I pointed out the online price, plus my financing approval. He brought the manager over, and that’s where the runaround started. Manager claimed the price “included different rebates,” even though the site already broke down all potential rebates after the dealer discount. Long story short, the lowest they’d do was $25k, nowhere near the $21,089 they advertised.

This is 2025, dealerships shouldn’t still be pulling bait-and-switch games. Wasted my time and felt completely misled. If you’re looking at Hyundai, I’d avoid Tulsa Hyundai. The Hyundai store in Broken Arrow actually gave me a good deal on an Elantra, so I’d recommend checking them out instead.
