First Time Car Buyer

Anybody out there in the car sales field or experience with buying cars. I just bought a 2013 Hyundai Tucson GLS AWD with 10 miles on it and would like to get a opinion of what I payed and if you think I got an ok/good/bad/etc deal. I did my research and beforehand and felt like I got a decent price. Here is how it broke down:

MSRP 26,015
Sale price of vehicle: 22694
Rebate: -500
Sales Tax + Dealer Documentary Service fee + License Taxes = +2090
Total Price: 24284

I also had a trade in and felt like I got a pretty good value for my trade. I'll save that argument for another day. Just wanted to get another opinion on the actual purchase. Thanks.

Buyer's remorse? Usually one asks for opinions before buying.

Can't speak to the deal but if truecar.com says it is a good deal then you probably did alright.

That said, I never by new anymore for cars. The best deals can be had on 1 to 1.5 year old used cars sold by reputable dealers. A lot of times they are former rental cars with 12-18 K miles on them and go for third or more off the new price and still have the bulk of the manufacturer's warranty in place. From a value perspective, saving that much for one year or so less of service is well worth it.

Thank you for your opinion and advice on the used car buying. No buyers remorse at all actually. I just know there are people that are way more knowledgeable out there than I am and would like honest opinions, so I know what to do better next time.

You never get a good deal when trading in a car, unless it is a junker.

Lets just say I didn't want to sell it privately. But yes, I think I could have got more for it.

Is that 500 rebate from Hyundai Finance?
Are you military? That's $500 more rebate.
Did you use Motozuma? That's another $500 cash.
Graduated college in the past 2 years? Another $500.

Nothing wrong from learning for next time.

Exactly! The only reason I asked is because car buying is not an easy process and can be intimidating. I just posted the numbers I paid for the car because an outside perspective is always helpful.

The $500 rebate is from the military. I did not know about the Motozuma rebate or I would have definitely would have jumped on that. No college rebate and my rate is 1.79. Thanks for your input.

judging from truecar.com it seems like a good deal

Sorry for my ignorance, does that site hold true for used cars as well? Meaning, is it a good indicator of value when purchasing a used car?

Thanks!

edit: This site is great! Do people buy cars through this site as well? Or used more for a reference?

I had never heard of the site either but it looks to be informative. I actually plan on buying a new Corolla S or Forte EX today so we'll see if it makes a difference.
