#22 of 2635 dealer service by lshirley2 Mar 05, 2001 (7:32 am)
Well, I finally got 3000 miles on the SF so I took it in for the oil change. It was a rainy, Saturday and the place was packed. The service manager was very cool and professional and I was out in 45 minutes. I was impressed with the Charlie Thomas dealership in Houston when I bought the car and I am still impressed with the service. I have seen 2 other SF on the street here.
#23 of 2635 Desperately Seeking.... Like every other Joe... by lwwrestler Mar 23, 2001 (7:20 pm)
Hello everyone, by any chance does anyone know the status of 2001's coming in anymore? I'm extremely interested in this vehicle, my wife and I took a weekend and looked at car after car and finally came to Hyundai (who I've had great luck with, dating back to when they rebuilt my past warranty engine after my negligence blew it up.. For FREE). I sat in the Santa Fe, and loved it, even the back seat had room once I adjusted the driver seat to accomidate me (6'1" and 210 pounds), I don't care much for the 4 cylinder version or the manual, I'd much rather have the V6 model. I'm having a terrible time with this, and unfortunately timing is a BIG thing for me. I'll reinlist in the Navy this October, unfortunately I'll be on my way to San Diego with my ship, thus after that is over, I'll return to VA and pick up my new (hopefully) vehicle. Anyone have any advice? Money isn't a huge deal, gotta love those high reinlistment bonuses, I'll be buying the vehicle cash, so most likely I should make a whopper of a deal. Any help would be appreciated.
#24 of 2635 Good Prices by hunter36 Mar 28, 2001 (12:45 pm)
Sounds as though some of you got exceptional prices - congratulations!   Here are my two cents worth that most of you will probably agree with - or not.   Everything is relative, what's a good price in one locale is shafted in another. Buying a car is a supply/demand(popularity) issue. In some areas, a take it or leave it offer gets you a great deal, in others it means you're not driving a SF.   Sure, in a given geographic area, some dealers will be more willing to 'deal' than others but if they've got 6 people waiting to buy the SF you have your eye one there ain't no way you are taking it home for a grand under MSRP. Conversely, if you're the first one in a week that's even looked at the car then you can probably work out a good deal. When I got my SF I paid $500 under MSRP when other dealers wouldn't budge off of MSRP. Now, the dealer I purchased my car from is charging $1500 over MSRP and still can't get enough cars. Could I have gotten my SF for 5 bills under MSRP today? Not likely without marrying the owners daughter.   Never-ever give any credence to what someone says they paid if they had a trade-in. Chances are if they got a super deal on the new car they got cheated on their trade-in (that's just the way it works folks)..but they'll never admit it even if they know it.   Bottom line, whatever you pay for your car is a reflection of the demand for the car in YOUR area (Fargo is another story); your acquired knowledge from places like Edmunds; your negotiating skills; greed level and integrity of the dealership as opposed to other dealers in the vacinity.   Remember, car dealers play this game 7 days a week so whatever you end up paying is probably not the lowest they would have gone!

If anyone is looking for SFs in the Northern Virginia area.... Jerry's Hyundai in Leesburg, Va has between 4 & 6 of them in stock now. I can't say which models they have, but they are still there. They just remodeled the show room and Hyundai sent them 6!   I bought mine Feb. 12th. I've had no major problems with it, other than a small nick on the hood. (ordered touch-up paint-$6.95 give or take)   I've only seen a handful on the road around here. Guess they haven't caught on yet... Oh well, I love mine!
#26 of 2635 Anti-Lock Brakes by peytonroad Apr 26, 2001 (3:26 pm)
Hello all, I am going to buy a SF through the costco program, and was quoted a great price - $750 below msrp for a Pewter 4x4 LX model with all the extras -exactly what I want-but without ABS. My husband wants one with ABS and doesn't want to budge. But I'm in a quandry - I don't want to wait forever for Hyundai to ship to this dealership (so I can get the costco price) and am wondering if I need ABS at all. I'm in Portland, Oregon, and it doesn't get too icy here at all. It is hard to find any color SF with ABS in this area. Advice?

thanks for the greeting got a call from my dealer (to be, I hope) and he told me that they can install, in one day, ABS for $500. It will not void Hyundai's warranty and the warranty on the brakes will be 100,000 miles. Sounds good to me - now I need to talk my husband into it. liz
#29 of 2635 GOT MY GLS TODAY MIAMI by ralph289 May 03, 2001 (4:45 pm)
Got my GEL 2WD today and LOVE IT !! I've been an auto mechanic for 30 years and this car impresses me. Well made NOT what I expected. Some advise SHOP AROUND !! Went to Rick Case in Ft. Lauderdale, they must have thought I just fell off the turnip truck. They wouldn't go under $3000 over MSRP !! Since the crash test I think dealer are taking advantage. Got mine at William Legman Hyundai, and they were great, FAIR price, little over MSRP but mine also had AS brakes. If you would like the name of my salesman mail me. Buy one you won't be sorry.
#30 of 2635 Service by rbnator May 30, 2001 (12:23 pm)
Just took mine in for 7.5 K service to Stevens Creek Hyundai in San Jose. I made an appointment for 7:30a and by 3p they had still not touched it. I also noticed that paint appeared to be peeling from the cladding (grey area) in some places. They told me at the dealership that I would have to call Hyundai directly and set up an appointment with the area service rep as they were unable to authorize repairs. I called the 800 number and they said the service department should have called them and not require the customer to make the call. The representative apologized for the dealership and said someone would contact me. The rep was really nice. I hope this problem will be covered under warrenty. Will let you know.
