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.

    I recommend the Arapahoe dealer in Centenniel. Got mine there in May'07
    All the best.

    I have a quote from a local dealer of $24,990 for a '08 SE with Premium Package. Good deal?

    I love the leather seats. I'm not that tall, so it's easier for me to slide across the seat when getting in. My seats are heated - love those toasty buns and back!

    2008 SE FWD W/Basic Package by dm126

    Hi,
         I just bought (this week) a 2008 SE FWD with just the basic package.Vehicle came with wheel locks and cargo cover and the color is Deepwater Blue. I purchased for approx. $1500 under invoice. My price (before tax, tags, etc) was $21,500. I'm no car buying expert, but I used Edmunds to get dealer quotes and purchased ($14) the Consumer Reports New Car Price Service to help me get a feel for the dealer costs. Dealer was basically "no-hassle" and they even took my trade-in (2000 Mazda MPV w/188,000 miles and flashing check engine light!) I'm pretty happy with the deal. FYI I live in the Northern VA/Wash. DC area.

    Brown's Manassas Hyundai. Also got a pretty good deal offer from Fairfax Hyundai, but went with Brown's. Both dealerships seemed pretty easy to deal with.
