#2281 of 2633 Re: 2008 Santa Fe Limited FWD service loaner - a good deal? [cmcjenkin] by miffed Jan 22, 2009 (8:20 pm)
Replying to: cmcjenkin (Jan 22, 2009 2:45 pm) I know I'm not wrong. The car came from Missouri on a dealer trade to a dealer in Iowa. that dealer used it as a service vehicle but the dealer in iowa did not title it. I guess since you own a dealership that you must be correct about the warranty? Sorry bubba you don't. i called 3 customer reps and talked to a customer service manager they all told me that it was a used vehicle even though it was never titled just because of the mileage. The only way I got the longer warranty is because the territory manager knew the dealership screwed up. He obviously has the power to grant it for this car. I can tell you another way the dealerships can screw up. Lets say someone is really interested in a vehicle and the dealership thinks they will buy it. They take it off the new car inventory and act like it is sold but the dealer holds it in their used car lot. The dealer will tell hyundai that that vehicle is sold so they get the kick back for selling a car from hyundai. Which makes it looks as if they're selling more cars then they really are. This way the dealership gets more operating money and more cars to sell from Hyundai. The problem is I got caught up in it when I purchased this vehicle and i have been fighting ever since. They do not title the car even though it was sold to the dealership. It's a scam. You are wrong about the mileage call them hyundai's policy is if the vehicle has more then 500 miles it is considered used and the warranty is only the 5-60 If you don't believe me call them. You may get a shock. i know not all car dealerships are like this but the one I dealt with was. That is how I figured this all out. Once the xm radio gets activated it would have had to be a sold vehicle. the dealerships are not suppose to activate it when they do this. I have learned a valuable lesson. Look at the BBB and see what kind of complaint history the dealership has if they have a lot of complaints don't buy from them. hopefully they will then go out of business. That would be my wish in this situation. If it does happen before they close down I may go back and just smile and laugh. : By the way when they do this the warranty starts ticking. I had another dealer hyundai look up my vehicle ID number at it showed only one dealership had the vehicle but my new invoice that was on the window shows it went to a missouri dealer first then to Iowa. I purchased the vehicle in Otober of 08 Hyundai shows i owned it in June of 08. Explain that one Hyundai dealer?

Replying to: roughyear (Jan 22, 2009 1:57 pm) The only portion that is transferable is the 5-60. That is only for the remainder of time that is left from the original purchaser. Don't let anyone tell you different. Replies to this message: cmcjenkin (Jan 24, 2009 7:19 am)

Replying to: miffed (Jan 23, 2009 7:52 pm) Thats absolutely right. "...from the original purchaser." If the vehicle has never been titled there is no "original purchaser" so you get the full warranty no matter how many miles are on the vehicle. The vehicle would still have an MSO - the document the manufacturer gives the dealer when the dealer purchases the vehicle from the mfg. If the vehicle has a title, it has a previous owner, therefore the 5/60 is all you would get.   Hyundai now has a strong certified program. So if you buy from a certified dealer they replace the 10/100 that you would otherwise lose. But you have to buy from a Hyundai Certified dealer.

#2285 of 2633 2008 Santa Fe SE AWD by newcrvman Feb 10, 2009 (6:13 am)
Hello, After getting stuck 2 or 3 times, I have decided to upgrade my FWD CRV with an AWD car. I think Santa Fe may be a great option, so I decided to check the prices for SE AWD model. I have 4 dealers in my area (Birmingham AL, actually, Hyundai Montgomery plant is only 2 hrs from us), and here are some strange things I hear from all of them. 1. "SE AWD is very hard to get. All AWD models go to NE region, WA and so on. It will take a long time for us to locate one for you", "we only have FWD models". 2. All of them have quoted me THE SAME price, which is MSRP, like Saturn dealers did before. One actually said "EVERYBODY knows, that invoice starts at $25600, so price $22,577 is just impossible" after I told him that Edmunds says "What Others Are Paying: $24,500 + destination charge $750 - regional adjustment $173 = $25,077, minus rebate -$2,500 = $22,577" Don't understand me wrong, I'm not biased towards Hyundai, but I didn't expect that they don't even consider Edmunds and charge about the same as Toyota for their Highlander AWD (60 months 0% APR btw). I know Santa Fe is a good car, but do people really pay MSRP these days? Is it really hard for a dealer to get AWD, or they are just playing? Is $22,577 + ttl for SE AWD is an impossible price?

Replying to: newcrvman (Feb 10, 2009 6:13 am) Here is some food for thought...   Hyundai has an allocation process. We don’t actually get to order cars from Hyundai even thought the factory is right down the road. The AWD models get sent to Oregon and other places where AWD models sell better. My store has had quite a few customers wanting an AWD that we just simply couldn’t get our hands on. And we don’t have the option of calling the plant and getting one sent to us. It just doesn’t work that way.   The Santa Fe has $1000 AND 1.9% on a GLS/SE model and $1750 AND 1.9% (60 months) currently. But you to give up the $2500 rebate to get that (you’re better off taking the low APR).   I did some snooping this morning on the locator and the closest AWD to Alabama is Arkansas. And it’s not a package 1, it’s a Popular Equipment package (+/- $600 option). Actually, every GLS AWD in the country (254 total) is a Popular Equipment package. That puts MSRP at about $26K give or take. Replies to this message: newcrvman (Feb 10, 2009 7:31 am)

Replying to: cmcjenkin (Feb 10, 2009 6:42 am) Thank you so much for your prompt answer, and for your help. "Hyundai's production plant in Montgomery, Alabama, will have 11 days cut off from its remaining schedule for 2008. Due to decreasing demand of the Santa Fe crossover SUV and the Sonata passenger car, the Alabama plant will switch to a four-day work week, beginning this Friday" - and I need to go to Arkansas from AL to get AWD Santa Fe!!! I hate to go with Toyota, but Hyundai gives me no choice - it is not Ferrari or Lamborgini to pay MSRP. Toyota dealers keep emailing me about going under invoice for RAV4 and Highlander, and Hyundai dealers want MSRP or just can't deliver me what I want. OMG, OMG

Replying to: newcrvman (Feb 10, 2009 6:13 am) Check out Fitzmall if your serious about a Hyundai, they have 42 Santa Fe Limited AWD with the majority of them priced well below what you were quoted for an SE.

Replying to: slateblue (Feb 10, 2009 8:26 am) Thank you so much! I don't want leather in Limited, and can't find one without it, but they have a nice SE AWD for 22,583.00! Thanks again Replies to this message: newcrvman (Feb 12, 2009 3:26 pm) antonio27 (Feb 13, 2009 9:10 am)

Replying to: newcrvman (Feb 10, 2009 12:59 pm) I'm about to close on SF SE AWD $24.770 OTD in Alabama. They will be delivering it from Arkansas, I think. Fitzmall price is about $900 lower, but when you add driving to MD from AL, plus time-off at work, plus hotel, plus all the possible problems to deal when you have to sign or go home with nothing, I think I'm better to do it at home. My wife hates me for trading in my 2006 LX CRV 2WD for $11.000 - "I will call your Mother and tell her that you are an idiot!" - but with 50K on it I'd better do it before the warranty expires - it is hard to explain to a woman how you can loose $3K of trade-in value in a year anyway... Guys, what do you think about that price? It is without special financing - still have to fight for a good APR. Thank you Replies to this message: antonio27 (Feb 13, 2009 9:10 am)
