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?

Replying to: chemron (Jul 24, 2007 6:03 am) M.S.R.P. = $27,730 Invoice = $26,334 They're essentially trying to sell you the car at invoice which is not a great deal. (Others here are reporting purchases at $1000 - $1500 under invoice before backing out the rebate. On top of that, they're tacking on a $490 "fee" - whatever that is, it's a rip-off and there's no way you should pay it (unless this is for registration). I'd offer $25,000 LESS THE REBATE and no extra "fees". If they met in the middle at $25,750 LESS THE REBATE and no additional fees (except for tax and registration, of course), I'd do the deal. |

Replying to: tuggers (Jul 24, 2007 4:22 am) Is the ext. warranty referenced in consumer's checkbook a Hyundai warranty or is it backed by a third party like JM&A? I believe there are often a variety of levels (power train only, silver plan, gold plan, and platinum plan) of coverage, a variety of numbers of year covered (from 5 and up to 10 years), and different deductibles ($100 or $0) offered. To which of these does the $759 quote correspond? |
