I want to share my experience by hoo320

We purchased a AWD Santa Fe limited from a Hyundai Dealer from Nanuet New York.
They are nice and smooth to deal with.
 
The car comes with sunroof and I was forced to buy the floor mat, first aid kit, and cargo net at insane price. But that was Hyundai's fault not the dealer.
 
MSRP is 29955, Invoice is 28116
When I went , I just said that I do not care about the rebate, just tell me your bottomline price with 0% from Hyundai.
 
The deal I got is 26495 + tax (about 1.3 K) + Title ($140 including documentation and doing the title for me) with 0% for 36 months.
 
 The thing that sealed the deal was they take a 11K trade-in for my Mazda tribute while the other two dealer I went to in New Jersery only offered 9K. Plus that I dont pay tax on this portion of the new car, My true saving is about 12K, which is about the same price as the private party price of my tribute on KBB.
 
So every thing went very smoothly.
 
Before we signed the paper, they suddenly add a 295 dollar preparation fee for the vehicle. I was told normally they charge 500 dollar for the preparation.
 
At the time, the wife was too tired to argue. So we paid the fee.
 
But is that normal? We purchased new car in the south before, we were never charged with this fee.
 
Anyway, I think we got a decent deal, just feel uncomfortable with the prep fee.
 
Any thought?

here is south Minnesota.
 
I am looking for Santa Fe SE AWD with no option and package.
 
If I pay $24,000 as a OTD price, is it good deal?
 
What is reasonable number for Santa Fe SE AWD with nothing?
 
Thank you so much in advance

I agree with you, I would feel uncomfortable about a dealer slipping in a $295 charge at the last minute and for "preparation" to boot. If the dealer wants to inflate his profit, he should be up front about it. To me that is a deal breaker and I would have walked. But that's me.

That's a great price. Carsdirect is $23614 without any options, tax or other dealer fees.

About to buy Hyundai Santa Fe Limited w/ Touring by ssykes

Hi all -
 
I think we are getting a great deal, but wanted to run this by the rest of you to get your input. I want to make sure we aren't missing anything.
 
What we are buying in Dallas area:
Santa Fe - Limited 2WD with Touring Package (does not include Premium Package)
 
The current price we have is $23,750. That includes the rebate and the $500 financing incentive. This price seems amazing to me.
 
To find a limited with touring without the premium package seems hard to do. The dealer we are dealing with didn't have any on the lot and is getting it from another dealer. I am also a bit worried b/c we really want the 3rd row of seating and I read in the other forum that the 2008 will not have that option.
 
Can anyone back that up? We are in no rush to buy, but if the 2008 model will not have the option of 3rd row seating then we are in more of a rush.
 
Thanks!
Sharon

Thanks for the reply.
But overall, what do you think about the deal.

To everyone wanting to know whether or not you got a good deal... by mpuzach

There are many here who are asking whether or not the deal they're getting on a new Santa Fe is a good one, often without posting enough information. In other cases, they're asking after they've bought the car. (What's the point of checking after the fact?) In still other cases, folks are saying things like, "I can buy a SF with Package X for $XX,XXX. Is this a good deal?" In these cases, neither the M.S.R.P. nor the invoice price is provided so anyone wanting to respond needs to do research that the would-be buyer should have already done.
 
IMO the best way to determine whether or not your purchase price is reasonable is to compare it to the dealer invoice price (not to sticker). This very web site (Edmunds.com) provides this info and it's very accurate. One need only go to "New Cars" and configure a Santa Fe exactly like the one they're dealing on, including all options. In evaluating a deal, the only comparison that matters is purchase price (including "dealer fees", if any, but not including rebates, taxes, or registration). In today's market, it's easy to buy at $500 - $1000 under the invoice price. If invoice is $25,000, a good deal is $24,500 or less. Any rebates should be subtracted from that amount; taxes and license should be added. It's that simple.

Did your purchase price of $26,495 already reflect rebates? If so, what was the total rebate amount? On an invoice amount of $28,116, I would have offered $27,000 less any applicable rebates and would have been happy with a deal that didn't exceed $27,500 less any applicable rebates. IMO any deal that's at least $500 under invoice before factoring the rebate(s) is a decent one.

Thanks, After my calculation: I got 1620 under invoice plus 0% for 36 month. But the thing that seal the deal is the trade-in. They offered 2K more than other dealer I went to.

I agree that finding an SF with Touring and without Premium (sunroof) is difficult. They're out there, though! I know because I took delivery at the end of May on a 2007 Sante Fe Limited AWD with Touring and without Premium. My dealer had to search for it, and finally located one still at the factory in Alabama.
 
The rumour about the '08 models not having 3rd row seats has been debunked. Official sources say that the 3rd row seating option will continue, so don't panic.
