Anybody has experience buying a Santa Fe around Silicon Valley in CA? Which dealer do you recommend and how do you like your truck? Thanks. |

| Hello Everyone. I have test driven the Santa Fe, and like many of you, just love it. I am heading out this weekend to purchase a 2004 FWD LX w/moon-roof. This has the 3.5L engine. I have done the research and know what the invoice is on the vehicle ($22478) and that there is currently $1000 cash back. How much have people been paying in title and fee costs and how low do you think I can get them? Can you let me know what deals you have been getting compared to invoice and if anyone has purchased a 2004, how easy it is to deal? This is my first car purchase and I want to do it right. Thanks | |

| Where is the best place to find out how much I should sell my Sante Fe for? It's my wife's car and only has 23k miles on it? Has anyone seen, sold or bought any with price recommendations. THanks | |
| Looking an 2004 Santa Fe GLS 3.5 V/6 4WD. Can anyone give me information on the price you paid?(How much above invoice or below retail, etc.) I live in the western U.S. (Nevada-Reno/Carson City area) Thanks! | |

| It seems locating an '04 GLS 2wd 2.7L with ABS and traction control along with PIO Wood grain trim option is as rare as finding a hen with teeth.If anyone knows of a dealership that has this particular model with features specified or will get some in near future please let me know. I reside in VA. Traveling to purchase SUV is no problem. Car is for wife. I have done my homework and know what the price range for this SUV would run. Thanks. | |
| The wife and I just picked up our '04 GLS AWD. Used edmunds and another cars^$#^$$ web site for info. The referral was sent to one dealer but I didn't like the vibes I was getting, so I just called Hyundai of Everett, wa and asked for the Internet guru, two days later we drove off with a Pewter AWD for 23,500 including all fees,taxes and plates. Whole experience was painless and pretty easy. | |

So far I have been to 2 dealers and will probably end up at a third. Here's how it goes: Dealer 1) The dealership is a pit, legs are at odd angles on the desks. Im at the dealership around 2.5 hours and ask if there is something to drink about 1.5 hours in, was told to goto the local gas station. They try utterly lowballing my tradein which jacked my payment up about $40/month. NOT. Dealer 2) Dealership is in much better condition than Dealer 1, and they even ask if I would like something to drink. I was there about 2.5 hours again and left a $1000 deposit on a Midnight Blue 2004 GLS 3.5 4WD with moonroof. They had lowballed the numbers and actually didn't do too badly on the trade. I get a call today that they hadn't bothered to put a hold on the GLS which was at another dealership so it had been sold and there aren't any other GLS's with moonroof in the area. Dealer 3) Only talked on the phone but they insist they have 3.5L 4WD GLS's with moonroof. Maybe tomorrow I will go visit them. Buying a Hyundai is being a royal PITA. |

| With a lease-return within two weeks, we had to buy in a hurry: not the best scenario. Used Edmunds for information and referrals. Since we live in a rural area of PA, the dealerships are all an hour or more distant and the links to dealers were a help. We own a Sonata GLS and are spoiled with all the features and the deal we got on it. Had chosen to purchase a Santa Fe or Forester due to snow and ice here and my fear of slipping and sliding. (I've lived in So. Cal most of my life,with stints in Saudi Arabia and Alabama:not good training for PA!). Had results from only one dealer and they found the LS 3.5 Arctic blue and no added goodies in a few hours. The dealership emailed us, called us and it was done in less than an hour. Waiting on financing OK and we are done. It was so painless, we got the car for 575 over invoice which beat all three dealers we had searched out ourselves and were not impressed with. One dealership still has not contacted us and I had visited them twice to test-drive, talk model and price-guess they weren't that anxious to sell. Recommend Motor World in Wilkes-Barre Pa. Hope to love our Santa Fe for many, many years. I did read all the messages re: problems and am aware of 'the bump' and pressure after fueling problems. We have had no problems with our Sonata except a battery that was replaced at no cost, and two recalls that were also fixed without any hassle. | |

Dealer 2) Was told to pick up my deposit check of $1000 on Tuesday, when I arrived I was told that they couldn't give me a check because my check hadn't cleared. This dealership is an hour from my house, talk about wasted time. Dealer 3) Dealership is about 1.25 hours away. Luckily I was able to get somebody to check the lot and they verified that there were NO GLS's specd the way I wanted. I bought a Mazda Tribute. So much for Hyundai's |
