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. |

Replying to: ssykes (Jul 30, 2007 9:03 am) 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.

Anyone know if the rebates will continue or if Hyundai will 'spice' them up a bit? Or should I say 'Duh' it up?

I have reviewed these posts over the past few days and learned a lot but had a few last sec questions - we are about to purch a sante fe gls auto...saw numerous posts re towne hyundai: is towne reliable? any hidden fees? my local dealer, a HUGE hyundai vol dealer says there must be a gimmick such as must be in military, or college grad or past customer to get such discts from towne - curious if they are as good as it seems? i would be travelling 2.5 hrs to buy from them...offer was 19674 (this incl 1000 rebate, so 1560 under invoice even tho site said they do 1700 under) off invoice of 22234 (looks like hyundai raised base price 200 over what edmunds shows); local dealer offer 20874 (360 under invoice) went to fitzmall tonite - price 19236 incl delivery per site... am i missing something - how is experience with fitzmall and what can i expect - any advice appreciated - we need to purch car in next few days. thanks.

I seem to recall a thread about someone using one of those CC check offers to purchase his SF. BTW: My credit is excellent as well...Now the kicker. Just a received a notice from a credit Card company that they were increasing their rates by about 7% FOR EVERYONE! (mine was under 9% "for life". I used traditional financing for my SF (3 yrs only) (paid 3/4 cash)since I never run balances with CC companies and have always been leary of those OFFERS. THE COMPANY IS CAPITAL ONE so beware! First they hook you on the teaser rate and then set the hook... Make sure you either have the cash at hand or other REAL financing available, when or if they try to scam you! A better move for those so inclined is to use your Home equity line and deduct the interest....These CC companys are all a bit "shady" if given the chance IMHO My prediction is they will all follow suit...My response was "keep your card"....I do not need it, Been with them over 10YRS with a 50k line...I am still in shock they would pull this kind of stuff, and feel sorry for those poor souls that got sucked in, owing a balance.It was fun when you could take their $$ at $1.99% (as long as the fee was capped) and put it in a short term CD at 5% and then pay it back off before the teaser rate ended!   |

Replying to: jpap (Jul 30, 2007 6:32 pm) Several on this board have reported getting similar pricing from other dealers, so I'm convinced Towne's prices are legit. Dealers that don't want to sell as cheaply may claim there isn't that much dealer incentive cash out there, but I think there is. Fitzmall is also known to be straight shooters. Towne usually beats them on price, but at this point in time 07 selection is getting tight so if Fitz has what you want and Towne doesn't I would not hesitate to buy from Fitz.
