Good price on an '07 SE AWD ? by shbrewer
Feb 16, 2008 (9:05 pm)

My wife and I are looking to purchase an '07 SE AWD.
The Invoice is $24,073 and there is currently a $1500 rebate (cash back).
 
We're not interested in any options ( but may not be able to find an '07 without options).
 
What would be a good price? We'd love to purchase this vehicle for
~$21,000, do you think this price is too low?
 
We're located in RI and will be purchasing either in RI or nearby Massachusetts.

07 GLS AWD by dmwr

I just got quoted a price of $23.7k on a 07 GLS base unit, and an offer of $3k off (rebate) or 21.7k with 1.9% financing. What do you guys think of this?
 
I'm comparing this against a CR-V EX for $23k flat, or a Nissan Rogue SL for around $22.1k.
 
Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

After reading of the importance of selecting a Hyundai dealer and wanting a Santa Fe, I was told by Hyundai owners in my area of their frustration with the two nearby dealers. For an increase in warranty and liking the Santa Fee GLS base unit 2008, I rethought the difficulties I'd experienced with my Dodge minivan and frustrating service... even under warranty.
 
Consequently, I'm now researching the Honda RV which has all 5 stars on crash test (with a 4 star on rollover which is true of all the other Crossovers).... at best. I'm now looking for a CRV EX Automatic Base 2008 2WD... with a recent price stated on the internet of $20,145
 
Please if anyone knows of a dealer who is offering a better price , let us know. This website is wonderful in helping all of us in these difficult financial times.

Check the CRV forums on Edmunds for the best price.
BTW - After shopping 07's and 08's, I also backed off the Santa Fe for a variety of reasons. Wound up finding a used Acura MDX with low miles (and some factory warranty left) for the same $21,000 you are talking about. Even though its a few years old, its more car than the Santa Fe with far less question marks. I felt that was the better buy for me.
Bottom line - Shop around, do your homework, consider all the options out there and don't be afraid to play hard ball when negotiating new or used. Then buy the SUV that is right for you.

DWMR, in January, I bought a 2008 SE for 1300 under invoice (no rebates) and was out for 22470 plus tax and license. I think you can do better

High volume/better dealers in Colorado? by denvertrakker

Greetings all -
 
I'm getting closer and closer to deciding on an '07 or '08 Santa Fe (also considering an '07 or '08 CX-7 or a used previous-generation Murano). Will most likely buy before the end of March.
 
Anyone know of some good dealers in the Denver/Boulder/Longmont area? Specifically, are there any considered "high volume" that might possibly get down to the "Fitzmall" area? I know Fitzgerald well, I used to live in Maryland, but 3000+ miles is a bit far to buy a car! Anywhere up to Fort Collins or down to the Springs would be considered (though the Springs is a bit far away).
 
I took a brief test drive of an '08 at Longs Peak Hyundai in Longmont and was impressed with the car and the dealership - very low pressure. One thing I've noticed in my research is that there seems to be lots of GLS and loads of Limiteds, but not so many SE's - which is what I'm leaning towards. I don't like leather, but I want the bigger V6 (we've got these mountains, y'know), so an AWD SE seems to be my target. Opinions?

I bought mine at Arapahoe Hyundai down in Centennial. They are family owned, high volume and definitely willing to deal. I highly recommend dealing with June Reynolds, who is their internet sales manager. She cut me a fantastic deal with no haggling. It was absolutely the best and easiest car buying experience I've ever had, and I walked out this fall with an 07 SF Limited AWD for almost 5500 under the MSRP.

I can't help you with regard to Colorado dealers (I'm in California) but I can tell you that I'm extremely pleased with my 2007 Limited AWD (leather and all). I've owned some very nice (and much more expensive) vehicles over the years and this Santa Fe really holds its own. It's a genuine pleasure to drive.
 
Regarding SE vs. Limited, to me the Limited is a no-brainer. Besides the leather, consider that it gives you:
 
  • Dual-zome automatic climate control

  • Rear spoiler (which is more than just a styling element - it helps keep the rear window free of water during light rain)

  • Infinity audio system (N/A on SE)

  • HomeLink (optional on SE)

  • Ability to order navigation (N/A on SE)

  •  
    Just something to consider.

    Thanks for your thoughts, mpuzach. Here's my take on the "no brainer":
     
    Really REALLY don't like leather. Cloth is much more grippy on the twisties, plus cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
     
    Auto climate control: I'll do it myself, thanks! 8>)>
     
    No need for HomeLink (no garage).
     
    Navigation? Pssshhh. Mountains, west. Plains, east.
     
    Horses for courses, I guess.
