Replying to: surfsalot (Jul 17, 2007 5:45 pm) There are more Santa Fe's in the mountainous west than I've seen in the Twin Cities. Loved the headlights that showed me a mule deer I probably wouldn't have seen with my old minivan headlights. Glad the buffalo in Custer State Park ignored me, I had to creep by them with only inches to spare on the gravel/dirt road I dared to take my new vehicle on. I brought along my dad's new portable Garmin navigation system since I didn't want it bad enough to wait until the 2008 Santa Fe came out with it. These last postings make it clear that if you are a Santa Fe buyer that wants a particular interior/exterior color, trim level and optional package, you might pay more for it because with the 2008's now in production there are not many 2007's left to pick from. |

Replying to: surfsalot (Jul 17, 2007 5:45 pm) You must still be buzzin over your purchase. I am interested in having a Kenwood DNX7100 installed in the Santa Fe Limited that I am going to purchase for my wife. Can you share your experience using this product? Can you use the steering wheel mounted controls with the DNX7100. Does Bluetooth work as advertised. Have you tried connecting a iPOD? How is the fit and finish? Did the dealer install it? I appreciate anything that you can share. thanks again Longhorn83

I purchased the sf Lmtd last week. I'm debating on which extended warranty to go with. Can a few people help clarify this topic. I have Geico Ins. and they have a 100K mile b to bumper warranty which has to be initiated before 15k miles on the car. Its only 4.75/mo. This has a 250.00 deductible so its great for expensive repairs. Any other comments appreciated. Thanks.

Replying to: mpuzach (Jul 22, 2007 7:56 am) Now, I wanted to purchase the exact same warranty for my current edition but then I found out that Hyundai no longer offers the warranty directly. They "partnered" with JM&A (subsidiary Fidelity Warranty Services is on the form) to offer the warranty and it is not exactly the same. Here are the differences that are causing me to rethink purchasing the 10yr/100k warranty now: 1. After the standard 5/60 warranty runs out, if you want/need to take your vehicle to any Hyundai dealer other than the one who sold you the car, you must call a number to get authorization. 2. If the dealer does a repair before getting permission from the warranty company, the warranty company can refuse to pay and will likely want to inspect the "defective" parts to confirm necessity. Similar to any 3rd party warranty 3. Not all Hyundai dealers have bought in yet from what I can tell. Being the research nut that I am, I called Hyundai dealerships in Georgia, Kentucky and Tennessee and found one that only offers the Chevy warranty and another that only offers a warranty through Great American. These are not "official" Hyundai warranties and may cause hangups at other dealerships. 4. On the plus side, the warranty rep at my local dealership (who has always provided excellent service for the past 3 years on my previous Santa Fe bought in another state) recommended JM&A highly. He has been doing Hyundai warranty work for nearly 20 years and has dealt with JM&A frequently with no issues. He said the process is very similar to th old Hyundai direct extended warranty. In the end, it is up to you who you want to go with, 3rd party or the manufacturer's "partner". If you may move from time to time, it is a slightly higher risk to go with a 3rd party warranty if another dealer will not honor it. On a side note, if you elect to buy the Hyundai warranty through their partner, check the deductible before signing the paperwork. You can choose $0, $50 or $100...if you don't specify you will likely be given the $100. |

The best deal I have been able to get for a plain jane Santa Fe 2WD in a color they have on the lot (silver) is $18,800. The only options would be Automatic Transmission and Floor Mats. Any thoughts? Should I take it? Good deal? Can it be made better?
