#2017 of 2059 Got my 08 SE by lunchbox3 May 20, 2008 (8:51 pm)
I just purchased my 08 Santa Fe from Todd Archer Hyundai in Bellevue, NE. I got a pretty good deal.   08 Santa Fe SE FWD - Bright Silver Premium Package Floor Mats Cargo Tray Cross Roof Rails   Edmunds invoice - $25691 Negotiated Price - $24549 Difference from Invoice - $1142 Less rebate (2500) and trade (2000) - $20049.00 Out the door.   If you are in the Omaha area and are looking at Hyundai's, go to Todd Archer and ask for Bart Templeton. He was great to work with.
#2018 of 2059 Should I do VIN etching? by pinnumberr May 22, 2008 (4:08 am)
Replying to: denvertrakker (May 14, 2008 2:44 pm) Thanks for the advice about not doing the etching? Do you recommend that I consider not doing the etching at all? I won't pay the car dealer to do it (since they're too expensive) but I noticed there are some do-it-yourself etching kits you can buy online for a few bucks. Does etching serve any purpose? Some say it deters car thieves and could reduce your insurance but I'm not sure. Thanks again!

Replying to: pinnumberr (May 22, 2008 4:08 am) I'm not sure if this is something that happens very often, but I have heard you should actually cover up your VIN with tape so that thieves cannot get a key copied from an unscrupulous employee at a dealership. Just something to think about.....I have never actually covered mine. Replies to this message: mrbizness1 (May 22, 2008 3:37 pm)

Replying to: shmshen (May 20, 2008 9:09 am) The rebate on '08 MY is only $2000. $2500 is for remaining '07s.

Replying to: pinnumberr (May 22, 2008 4:08 am) You may not be able to ask the dealer to remove the etching fee if it's already "included". However, you can negotiate for a lower price to compensate for the etching fee. My dealer was upfront with it by saying the etching fee is always added but he was willing to lower the purchase price a bit more than the add-on cost.   I don't think having the etching will prevent your vehicle from being stolen because it's invisible to the naked eye. The only real reason is to reduce insurance costs. For me, having the etching only reduced my insurance by less than $10 over 6 months - insignificant.   If you do get it, make sure you recieve a certificate in order for the insurance company to honor it.

At that M.S.R.P. it's equipped with a manual transmission. The dealer discount is huge, much more than the amount of holdback provided by Hyundai. They must be shooting for some pretty steep volume incentives.
