    Looking into '04 Tiburon

    I'm looking into purchasing a new 2004 Tiburon. From what I've read and
    heard in reviews, etc, it seems like a great car. I'm especially attracted
    to the 10/100 warranty since I plan on financing.

    What would be the best time of year to buy one if I want to get a good deal?
    I'm assuming the 2005s hit the showrooms in a matter of months, so when
    would be the best time to snatch a 2004?

    I'm looking at the GT V6 4-speed Shiftronic tranny (Auto). Can someone
    explain exactly what Shiftronic is? I looked on their site but there's no
    explanation on this from what I could see. I understand it's part of the
    auto-transmission package.

    I live in high-traffic areas though, so would you recommend the automatic
    tranny over the 6-speed manual?

    Thanks for any help.

    Later in the month would be better, since the salespeople will be more
    willing to knock a few hundred $ off the price so they can make quota.
     

    It's a slightly different interface on top of a normal auto tranny.
    Looks like this:

    P
    R
    N +
    D-o
    -

    ....put the car in D, then throw the lever over to the right and you're
    in Shiftronic mode. Push the lever up to the + to shift up one gear,
    push the lever down to the - to shift down one gear. Fun, but not
    really necessary in normal circumstances because the V6 Tiburon has
    enough power to accelerate and pass most of the cars on the road.
     

    You live in more than one high-traffic area? That must be a pain; most
    of the time, people have their summer homes/cabins as far out in the
    boonies as they can get. Well, this might be difficult in the NYC area,
    but whatever.

    Transmission choice is a personal thing; take whatever you think will
    work best for you. If you're living in NYC, take the auto tranny,
    it'll cause you less pain and suffering in the traffic jams.

    Thanks Matt. Yeah, I work in New York and live on Long Island -- that's why
    I mentioned the (plural) high-traffic areas =) I appreciate the feedback.
    I'm most likely going with the auto tranny. Thanks again!
