I hope I love the Santa Fe as much as you guys seem to. 08 Santa Fe Limited AWD, Nav, mats etc. Platinum Sage. I pick up the car early next week. Here's my numbers. INVOICE: $30,761.... minus $2.000 rebate = 28,761. I paid, $27,436 out the door plus tax and title. $1325 under INVOICE! I probably could have squeezed another hundred or so, but at this point I was happy and they were too nice to push too far. It was a cash deal so no financing. After the deal was set, I asked about a trade, and they gave me $1000 more than any other dealer. I am one happy camper with this deal! City World Hyundai, Bronx, NY....HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! I hope their service is as good as their sales staff.

Thanks all I've learned a lot from this forum for my very first car purchase!
 
I am excited to share that I secured a Santa Fe 08 AWD SE - platinum sage (fell in love with the colour after much deliberation) with mud guards and floor mats for $24,000 OTD (so, the price was $22,120ish).
 
No financing involved, it was a cash purchase. Did 99.9% of my negotiations via email - truly the way to go. There is less pressure, you have to time to research, get a second opinion, etc.
 
Yay
 
Thanks all!!!!!
 
Weird, thing though ... my engine light is on. Will have to drive it into the dealership tomorrow to have it checked out.

Here are my final numbers:

22,100 Out the door, this includes Tax and every other expense. We got the base price down to under 20k (Not including interest over financing of course) We did financing 60months. Included cargo tray, mud flaps and floor mats. Almost 2k under invoice
 
So far we are very happy!

Update after 3+ months of ownership by justthinking

Just a note to the forum. We picked up our Santa Fe on 12/30/07 with help from others on this board. Car has been trouble free in its first 3+ months. Love the engine power, the heated seats (almost too hot!), and wife loves the XM radio. Do wish we had an ipod connection, but can't have it all.
 
Very pleased with our purchase.

As me and my wife are not huge music people, no ipod connection isn't bothering us. (Maybe for a podcast every once in a while, I would like it but nothing to lose sleep over). And with XM, if we want to listen to music, it's never an issue. With the MP3 cd player, you can fit well over 200 songs on a cd and that will help. Just burn a cd with all your favortie songs and you will probably only need 1 or 2 of them.
 
Only thing I would have liked is a 'Rear Hatch Release' on the remote. You have to manually open it up. Not a big deal at all though.

Can anyone share their experience with the purchase of a limited in South Florida? Are dealers willing to go under invoice? If so how much.
 
Appreciate the information.

How do I price a "new" 2007 (demo)? by jswain
Apr 21, 2008 (5:31 pm)

We are just starting to look for a new car, and went today to test drive a Santa Fe. We were looking to possibly buy a 2008 FWD SE with the Touring package (need the third row seat for kids), but the only one they had on the lot with the third row seat was a 2007 AWD Limited w/Touring package and dvd player. They were using it for a demo, and it has just over 6,000 miles on it. The salesman said the sticker was for $33,000, but that his manager told him he could knock $7,000 off the price (which would put it at $26,000). I'm not sure how to price this vehicle or whether this is a good price. Also, would I still get the $2,000 rebate? We would love to have all the bells and whistles that come on this higher trim package, but need to be out the door for $24,000 or so. Is that realistic for this car, or should we stay with the 2008 SE?

I bought a Kia Sorento (sister company of Hyundai) demo with 5200 miles on it in May of last year for 66% of sticker. I paid $20.8k, it had a sticker of $31.3 k. There was a $4500 rebate that went to the dealer. The car was basically brand new.
 
Keep in mind that your 2007 Sante Fe is last year's model and no one will want it; they want to dump it. Fortunately for you there isn't much differnce between the 2007 and 2008 so you have a chance to get a great deal. First make sure that it is a new car and has never been titled. This will be true if it was a demo. Check to make sure there was no body damage or repairs or returned as a lemon. Check the internet, sometimes the rebate is higher for the previus year's model.
 
You won't get out of the door for 24 $k because of TTL but if you can get it for $24k take it and be very happy. Start lower than 24. You will enjoy the extras.
 
PS - The better half has a 2007 Sante Fe AWD Limited with the premium package. It is a great car, absolutly no problems, and a great buy for the $$, Its rated #2 by CR.

Thanks, cheapengineer. A couple of questions - how do I find out if there was body damage or repairs, etc.?
 
Also, when you say that if I can get it for $24k, take it and be very happy, do you mean after rebate? So that would mean their price is $26k, then I take off the $2k (assuming it applies), to get to $24k, then add tax, etc.? I think I would have to get them to $25k (before rebate) for me to be able to afford it. That would put me out the door for $24k plus title, tag, etc. I don't know if this is realistic, but I guess I could make an offer and see what they say.
 
Thanks for your help!
