Purchased Santa Fe Limited 2008 FWD by antonio27

I just purchased a 2008 Santa Fe Limited FWD no addtional options.
 
Steel Gray Black Leather
 
$20,999 + $99.00 Dealer Processing Charge =$21,098
 
Of course tack on tax and tags.
 
I live in South Florida and purchased the vehicle from Fitzmall in Maryland. The price was so good I'm paying a freight fee of $550.00 to get the SUV to my home. Fitzmall does not offer all 2008 Limited's at this price. the Sales Guy (Cool Guy not pushy at all) stated that the only reason they were able to offer this vehicle at this cost was because it was on there lot for a longer period than the other limited's. They do have one left at this cost, it is a Platnum Sage with Beige leather. here is the link.

Good Luck!

How did you reconcile the catch-22 with the lemon law?
 
Florida:Vehicle must be purchased in FL.
Maryland: Vehicle must be registered in MD.
 
I am also thinking of purchasing from Fitamall in MD as they have AWD models in stock. I do not want to loose the protection of the lemon law. It looks like a vehicle purchased in MD and registered in FL will not be protected by either state.

I never factured in the lemon law. Something I need to research.

2008 Santa Fe Limited FWD service loaner - a good deal? by bamadriver

We're considering buying a 2008 Santa Fe Limited FWD service loaner with just under 8K miles - khaki exterior, black leather interior, no navigation, no touring package, from a dealer in Tuscaloosa, AL.
 
Price from dealer is $23,312, OTD ($22K car + TTL), with full new-car factory warranty; the loaner has not been titled before. Checked Carfax for lemon law/manufacturer recall report - both clean.
 
I haven't mentioned our trade-in yet; wanted to see what dealer's lowest price was first.
 
We will be trading in a 2006 silver Camry LE, cloth seats, no sunroof, with 13,500 miles that we own outright; will not be financing the difference between the trade-in and the Santa Fe.
 
Edmunds/KBB lists Camry trade in at about $14K ...
 
Santa Fe OTD price: $23,312
Camry trade in: $14,000
Current difference: $ 9,312
 
Anyone have thoughts on the lowest difference we might could get the dealer down to? My husband wants to offer "around $8K" and see how low the dealer will go.
 
Much appreciated!

A service loaner is another name dealers give for a used car, but try to sell for a new car price. For gosh sakes it has 8,000 miles on it. Your Camry has only 13,500 miles. It's puzzling why you even want to do this.
 
My thoughts are insist on a brand new Santa Fe with less than 100 miles and yes, you can do better on price. Go to another dealer if you have to. Do more research and read previous posts here.

You should be able to do WAYYYY better than that offer. At the end of July, we bought a new 08 Santa Fe Ltd AWD with mats, mudguards, cargo mat and Bluetooth for $23321 + TTL and $389 processing fee (dealers profit basically). I don't have the exact details here, but the MSRP was somewhere around $31K. You shouldn't be paying that amount for a "new" SF. Work that dealer hard. He can do much better if he really wants to get your business.
 
FYI, I just checked the website for the dealer I bought from (www.fairfaxhyundai.com) and they have 08 SF Ltd FWD around $21900 or so. Like I said before, you should do better than the deal on the table.

Considering buying an 08 Santa Fe GLS by jasonchiefsfan

I am thinking of buying a 2008 Santa Fe GLS - Auto trans. with no other options. I have read that this model could be purchased around 18k, Sticker is 23k, should I start at 17k or lower. Does it matter if I want to use the 0% financing instead of the rebate? Thanks in advance for responses.

Wow, you are all getting some real killer deals. I thought I got a great deal but not like those mentioned here. I can see why though, fairfax lists over 100 Santa Fe's in stock. My area dealer (in Mass) only has 13 and I only had 4 limiteds to choose from. Not many of them left on dealer lots around here, but they are still dropping prices in anticipation of the 2009's.

Santa Fe 2008 leasing by bobmc3

We have a 2003 Santa Fe with about 45000 miles and a brand new transmission. We are thinking of selling this car and possibly leasing the newer 2008 model which has been substantially changed for the better! We travel about 10 miles both ways to work, and travel little except to Chicago once in awhile (300 miles round trip). What are the pros and cons about leasing?
