You'll have to settle for only the name of the dealership - read the intro at the top of this page. tidester, host

Replying to: tidester (May 03, 2004 8:30 am) Would appreciate the dealership name, and any other good advice anybody can give me on making my purchase on L.I. |

| Just purchased on 5/7 a 2004 Santa Fe GLS 4wd with the 2.7v6 engine, ABS and running boards (although I did not want them). I paid cash, and the cost after $1,500 rebate but before taxes, etc was $20,500. I think this was a good deal. For these first two days the car seems well built, no noises, rattles, etc. | |

We're about to buy a GLS. We're pricing the 3.5, AWD and we've specifically asked about vehicles with no additional options. (No moonroofs, 6-CD changers, etc.) We've given up trying to parse out all the individual components of a deal, and we're asking dealers only for the total price to drive it off the lot...after taxes, after rebate, etc. This seems to work well, and gives the whole process some easy-to-understand clarity. Our best price so far? $22,886. That includes the 7.2% sales tax in our city and the rebate. How does that sound for a basic GLS 3.5 AWD? Anyone else want to share their total off-the-lot price for a similar model? |

So far I've seen many reviews saying the FWD works just fine in the various weather conditions, and the better gas mileage is worth it (especially for commuting). What kind of gas mileage do you guys get for the 2.7L GLS FWD model? Specs rate it as 20/26, but we all know how close those never get! Also for this model I've seen the price range postings of $19,000-21,500 for potentially similar specs. I now live in L.A. out West, and am wondering where the best dealership would be, any suggestions? I'm probably looking at either package 10 or 6 with the moonroof and ABS. If I could find $20,500 or less after taxes and title, would that be a good deal ? Also, is the moonroof worth it, or do you find that it doesn't really make a difference? Have any of you owners found that the 2.7L lacks significantly in power when climbing hills and such, especially at highway speeds? What about the towing capabilities and power for something like towing a Uhaul trailer where both vehicle and trailer are loaded down? Soo many questions... |

Hokie, We bought our GLS 2.7 FWD in February and now have only about 4,000 miles on it. We got it with ABS (traction control) and factory hitch (a few other minor things). Back then the rebate was only $1,000. That made our price before taxes, title, etc. to be just over $20,000. We choose not to get the sunroof due to the reduction in head space. My wife drives it most of the time, but when I do get a chance I've gotten between 21 and 22 mpg of mixed driving and I do not consider the vehicle broken in (in fact this was before the first oil change). I live in Florida so I can't speak to mountain (or even hill) driving. I find the 2.7 to have all the power I need. |

| Just purchased my FIRST Hyundai. LX, FWD extra options was: moon roof, rear cargo tray and roof rack crossrails. Including rebate, my price was $22085. I contacted the "Internet Department". They gave me the no haggle price. I feel this was the best deal I could have gotten without haggeling. Plus, it was much less stressful!! Good luck all! | |
