As has been posted MANY times in this thread, if you want to determine whether or not you're getting a good deal you need to compare the selling price EXCLUSIVE of rebates, tax, and license with the dealer invoice price. You haven't provided enough information for anyone here to assess your deal. Is it FWD or AWD? What options does it have? Manual or automatic transmission? What are the M.S.R.P. and invoice prices?
Your best bet is to check out 2008 Santa Fe pricing here at Edmunds.com. Configure a Santa Fe GLS exactly like the one you're considering and note the invoice price (including destination). You should be able to buy it for $500 - $1000 UNDER that invoice price, LESS rebates, PLUS tax and license.

Thanks. It is AWD automatic basic options. I do not remember the MSRP and invoice prices. So the MSRP and invoice prices listed in the sticker should be the same with the price shownn at Edmunds.com if I have exact options?

I'm another happy owner of a 2008. I've seen the several reviews of transmission problems, and they are disturbing. However, I haven't seen this behavior AT ALL in my SF. I remember when Chrysler introduced their electronically-controlled transmission they had loads of problems with it...and yet, my wife's Stratus has had no transmission problems. In fact, though that's not known as being a particularly good vehicle, we've had good luck with it. I think the transmission problems must be isolated ones, though it's disappointing to read that Hyundai seems so reluctant to correct them.
Just for comparison, read the Murano forums - you'll see dozens and dozens of people who've complained of transmission-related problems - and yet the Murano is very highly rated and considered reliable!

Only the M.S.R.P. is shown on the sticker. If you go to the "New Cars" section at Edmunds.com, the "Hyundai", then "2008 Santa Fe", then "GLS AWD Auto", then "Price with options", you'll be able to configure the exact car you're looking at. Then click on "TMV Pricing Report". The number at the bottom of the M.S.R.P. column should equal the window sticker price. The center column is the invoice price. This is the number that you should be able to buy it for $500 - $1000 less than, before factoring in rebates.

The main problem with the Chrysler electronic trans was the way it shifted. It also gave a little thump when downshifting to the low gear after a full stop. I have had no trans problems on my caravan after 130k miles. I have several friends with Hyundai's and they have no complaints about their quality.

Thanks Mpuzach's explaination. This quote is for 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe
GLS 4dr SUV AWD (2.7L 6cyl 4A) with the standard features, Edmunds.com shows $23,888 for the invoice price. Looks this quote ($18989 + 2500 = $21489) is good deal, but this dealer is 30 miles away.
From my previous post:
If I buy it from this dealer, does it means that I have to do all the maintaince work in this specific dealer? For example, if something goes wrong, do I have to go to this dealer to use the warranty.
Is it Santa Fe comes with 10y/10k miles warranty? Several quote say it is 6y/6k miles
I still do not know the answers for the above questions.
Thank you very much!

I do have to say that one of my very few complaints with my '07 Limited FWD is the lag between first and second as was just described. I thought it might be isolated to mine but drove an '08 with 200 miles on it as a loaner from the dealership and it did the exact same thing. Have absolutely no problems with trans. once on the road, and no jerking up or down, but I do find the 1-2 shift to be an annoyance. Of course, winding out the gears with the manumatic takes care of this problem.

You can have the Hyundai serviced at any authorized Hyundai dealership. This holds true for warranty work or scheduled maintenance.
The bumper-to-bumper warranty is 6 years / 60,000 miles.
The powertrain warranty is 10 years / 100,000 miles.

Thanks a lot.
For the sales tax, is it charged to destination? For example, if the dealer is in State A and I live in State B, so the title will be in State B. Which tax rate applied in this case?
