Melbourne and Orlando Area Hyundai Dealers - Mystery Shopping Report

I recently sent an email to each Hyundai Dealer in the Central Florida area to find out which dealer provided the best price, fastest response time, and was the most honest in their response.

I requested information on a mid level Hyundai Elantra, for 16k MSRP and offered 10k as a low ball offer.

The response was varied, with some dealers not responding at all other then the Autoresponders. Rather then focus on dealers which may waste your time, I would like to point out the top two dealers that provided the fastest quotes, best deal and were forthright in their responses (no smoke and mirrors).

Fastest Hyundai Responders:

1. Cocoa Hyundai of Melbourne and Orlando: Response Time: 7 Minutes

2. Coastal Hyundai: Response Time: 21 Minutes

Best Hyundai Deal:

1. Cocoa Hyundai of Melbourne and Orlando: $3221 off MSRP

2. Universal Hyundai: $2960 off MSRP

Most Honest Hyundai Dealer:

Tied:

Cocoa Hyundai of Melbourne and Orlando & Universal Hyundai

Both provided up front pricing and did not attempt to use smoke or mirror tactics in the presentation of numbers. Both when asked provided a step by step detail of the price and a corresponding breakdown "out the door". Other dealers insisted on number play, or were slow to respond and insistant on phone conversation.

A Unique Look at Orlando Hyundai Dealers

When searching for a reliable Orlando Hyundai Dealer, or any new car dealer for that matter it can be difficult to find out which dealers have the best reputation.

The truth is that most people only become vocal when there is a problem, and rarely will sing a dealerships praise unless they feel that dealership has truely exceeded expectations. A new Website serving the Orlando FL area has set out to change that.

The website, Hyundai Dealers Orlando reviews hyundai dealerships in the Central Florida/Orlando area (or posts links to the reviews) such as Universal-Hyundai Orlando and allows you to submit quick quotes to an Orlando Dealer online rather then having to visit their website.

The Hyundai Dealers Orlando website also provides contact information for the individual dealerships and I have heard it plans to offer printable maps and integrate online reviews such as Dealerrater and other Dealership Review websites. The latest addition to the Dealer Review website at Hyundai Dealers Orlando is the Orlando-Hyundai dealership in Orlando. You can also find information on outlying dealerships such as Cocoa Hyundai or Coastal Hyundai which also serve the Orlando, FL and Central Florida Areas.

The reason I find it worthwhile to mention this website is that it's a new local concept. Many review sites concentrate only on national basis, while this dealer review and directory only lists local dealers to the Orlando area like Jenkins Hyundai .
