Replying to: srz948 (Jan 03, 2009 6:29 am)  ). By volume, I mean that people like me even out with deals where they make mad money, and they are able to move a car that has been sitting. One thing that helped my negotiation was that I was willing to take the car on the lot, saving them time and money finding the 'exact' color/model. I would have never chosen black, but color is not worth $$ for me. My other "minimums" were exceeded in the model.. I didn't even know it had bluetooth until I drove to San Francisco Last week! There are many other upgrades, but because I only talked about my minimums and didn't want to know about all that added-on stuff, it was the only car that met my minimums, so they couldn't play the added-value game with me. But there was a lot more stuff than I listed in the previous post I didn't even know about, so cool for me!

After eliminating several vehicles in my new car search, due to price, financing factors, etc. my choice had come down to a Santa Fe or an Escape (both with the second highest trim levels - with moonroof and several other similar options). With the discounts being offered in my area, they are very close to the same price (monthly payments less than $50 per month difference.) So I need some feedback from anyone out there with some experience to give me any more info to help me decide. (I am leaning slightly towards the Santa Fe as it is more highly regarded in Consumer Reports.) Thanks for any opinions!!!

| I thought I might add this info that may not be known concerning buying a 2008 model. Hyundai is offering a $1,500 rebate on all 2008 models. The stipulation is that you must be a current owner of a Santa Fe. Good news to anyone wishing to up-grade! This runs through Feb. 1, so will need to move soon. Also, I read that they are enticing new 2009 models with leasing to buy back the car and pay the purchaser any depreciation costs if they run into financial difficulties, such as job loss, etc. and can not make payments. I am an owner of a 2003 and am looking at a demo, Limited, for $19999 (sticker) with 5500 miles on it at my local dealer. It may be that Hyundai may come up with other incentives to help move the 2008 and 2009 models as times are rough for them as well as other manufacturers. | |

I'm in North Carolina and just bought a new 2008 Santa Fe GLS FWD automatic with mats, cargo net, mudguards and wheel locks for 18,500 out the door price. That included state sales taxs, tag fees and title fees. I had no trade in. My experience with the car and the whole buying process was fine. When you are negotiating I would recommend specfically saying that you want "out the door" prices quoted. When I went in I did not and he quoted me a very low number which was great but then there was a "dealer fee" tacked on on the end. This is just a tactic to get you to come back by having a very low price quoted. And don't fall for the stupid visor tags that claim you can buy the car for 13,000. All that means is that you can buy the car for 13,000 with a 7000 dollar down payment or trade in. The only time I was going to walk out the door was when the finace guy gave me a "great interest rate at 6.8 %". I told him he was nuts. I did not bother to get pre approval from the bank but you can get 5% easily from the bank with good credit. he dropped the rate to 5.5 and took 300 off the price to bring it to an equivilant rate of 5%. I did not include the 300 off in the price I paid b/c you should be able to get 5% from anyone. Point is don't take their intrest rate if it's over 5% and you have good credit. I don't know if I got a good price but I was happy with it.

| The rebate when I bought the car on Jan 10th was $2500 on the 08 and the "assurance" program (i.e. can return car if lose job or life) was also extended to at least the new 08 models. | |
