Santa Fe Limited FWD with Blue Tooth, Cargo Mat, Wheel Locks, First Aid Kit for $23,648 + TTL. Bought saturday in Cincinnati for what I figure to be $871 under invoice. It was too easy but they only had one of what we wanted (most were AWD with others having NAV) and my wife liked the color. Didn't want to prolong the search any longer. I'd recommend Columbia Hyundai but figure on preping the car yourself as the antenna wasn't installed, tires had 45-50#'s (vs. recommended 32#'s) and glue on the clear plastic headlights. Oh well, glad it's over.

I did it, bought the 08 Limited Santa Fe and LOVE it so far. Cant wait to figure out the mpg' s as soon as I need the first tank of gas. But who wouldn't love a brand spanking new car?! My only minor problem is my tire pressure light is on and when I was thru with signing paperwork, all tech's at dealership had already gone home so I'll have to return car to have them remove/fix warning light. Dealer is even throwing in pin-stripping and free window tint. all for $23,500. I hope mpg is decent, will have to wait and see.

Well I did it I bought the 08 Santa Fe Limited. Their's just NO comparison when you drive it and compare to Rav 4. Much smoother, quieter and just plain out more more more for your money. I like the 18 inch tires, sits up high, the600+ watts stereo with 6 disks, xm, stereo. rear air, standard sunroof,homelink, leather etc.... I just hope mpgs will be decent. Now if I can just figure out how to program the homelink to my garage door, I will be quite HAPPY! Haven't even tried yet, maybe this weekend. Sante Fe just has the look and I love it!

I love my Santa Fe but am really disappointed with the gas mileage. I've had it for 6 months and 5000 miles but so far the best gas mileage I get is 16.9 mpg (even on highway). I left it at the hyundai service dept for 3 days when I got the first oil change and they thoroughly checked it out and said it met factory specs & they couldn't explain why it wasn't getting the 17 to 24 mpg that it was supposed to.
I'm curious as to how other new Santa Fe's are doing on gas mileage.

God that's awful! I hope mine does better, I've been reading the blogs posted here and seems like the peple are getting anywhere from 14 to 25. My sales rep at dealership says alot of it depends on how you drive. So I'm babying mine and driving real easy and slow. i will not keep it if I do not get at least the 17 mpg. I put 10k down so I will have no trouble unloading it if I need to. But I LOVE the vehicle so I'll keep my fingers crossed on the mpg.

For your $23,500 Limited SF, was that FWD? ?Any optional packages on it? Navigation? etc. Sounds like a good price for a FWD. thanks for any info for my price hunting.

I've had my 08 Limited FWD for a little over 1 week and have been getting 14 mpg city driving only. One thing I would like to point out that most people don't know is that if you are buying gasoline that is an ethanol blend, you will get 3 mpg less than regularly blended gasoline. The gas pump you use should have a sticker on it declaring it an ethanol blend but they are not required by law to have the sticker so it could still be ethanol blended and you wouldn't know.
I just filled my tank last night with regularly blended gas and will be watching this next week to see the gas mileage. In the city where I live, the only regularly blended gas stations are Chevron.

I've heard that you don't get a true idea of gas mileage until the car is "broken in" at about 2000 miles. At 5000, mine is well beyond the break in period with no improvement. Most of my driving is in the suburbs and I take it easy and stay within the speed limits. The mileage improves slightly when I drive on the highway.
Otherwise I love the car and spent many months shopping around and checking out the competition (RAV4, CRV, Outlander, etc.). Since I only put $2000 down and have a 4 year loan, I'm stuck with it since all cars depreciate in value the second you drive them off the lot... so I'll just keep driving my little Silver Blue Santa Fe and hope gas prices go down.
Keep me posted how yours is doing on mileage... good luck!

wow, I thought all regular unleaded gas was the same... Is the decision to sell an ethanol blend vs. a regular blend determined by the oil company, the gas station owner or the state or city? I would like to find out more about this.
I live in Maryland near Wash. DC and usually buy my gas at Shell or Citgo.

The price is just the base limited SF, I believe the only other options extra I got were tinted windows, floor mats and cargo net. No nav,. I didn't want that, I just wanted the best price on a limited no extra's to keep it cheaper. Also so far my avg. mpg according to the car's trip computer is 20.8 mpg. I'll know more after a little more driving considering the car is not even broken in yet.
