Replying to: niunia076 (Mar 10, 2009 1:44 pm) That is a 'good' deal, but I bet you can do better. Hyudai is dying to get rid of 2008 inventory. The suv already has 4000 rebate, hence they are dealing.

I agree with many posters here, check Fitzmall and have your dealer beat that price. A good example of what they have on their site: Sante Fe Limited with lots of options, MSRP: $31,140.00 Invoice Price: $29,483.00 Internet Price: 23,695.00   If I went to my local dealer without the printout, I bet I would have to spend hours haggling just to get down to that price and I think everyone can do better than the Internet price.

A national business reporter is looking to speak to consumers who purchased a Hyundai because of the Assurance Program (or Assurance Program Plus). Please send your daytime phone number to ctalatiedmunds.com by Friday, March 13, 2009.

Replying to: niunia076 (Mar 10, 2009 1:44 pm) niunia076, To confirm, $23.5K should be for AWD Limited. This is a fair price. To keep things in perspective, this is exactly what I paid in October 2008 for AWD Limited, no 3rd-row, no NAV.   Since October is now almost five months ago, you might want to play hardball and set $23K at you upper limit. Find a dealership with lots of 2008 inventory. They will be more willing to negotiate PLUS you can select your color.

Replying to: rick2456 (Mar 09, 2009 5:43 am) Rick, what was the dealer's name where you got this deal, and where are they located? Replies to this message: rick2456 (Mar 13, 2009 7:55 pm)

Replying to: roughyear (Mar 09, 2009 4:22 pm) OK, again like Ripley, just when I thought I could rest easy and enjoy the ride, something/someone makes you want to, well, blast away with a flamethrower. Roughyear, I do appreciate your input though and I will be buying again in the next 6 mos or so for a sedan. Want to avoid mistakes, obviously. So what did I do wrong?   Did homework: TMV for my used Pilot (excellent cond, 38K mi) was $20,364, and TMV doesn't incl. tax and fees. I got it OTD for 20, so that seems like a good price. Should I not trust Edmunds TMV used car report?   All dealers I talked to said they could not find the midlevel SE model with 3rd row , only Limited. Are the dealers lying, or should I believe them about something like that? Seems like they would have sold it to me if they had it, since I walked out. And TMV for Limited with third row in cheapest config is 27,892. After 3500 rebate it's still 24,392, too high. So how do I determine a good price? Doesn't seem to be TMV on edmunds, right?

joobster,   i wasn't trying to insult u... i was just trying to mention that there are deals to be had with the Santa Fe. what u needed to do, was have the dealers in your area compete via the internet for your business. it's easier to get a quote through their "internet departments" rather than a shady salesperson. this way u don't have to exhaust yourself with the back and forth negotiations. in october, i had a fully loaded santa fe awd/nav/3rd seat ready to purchase at $24.2k but my wife changed her mind at the 11th hour and we bought a different make.      enter your info to get quick quotes from dealers in ur area:    http://www.edmunds.com/new/2009/hyundai/santafe/101146762/dealerpricing.html    click here to check the current inventory in ur area: http://www.edmunds.com/inventory/srp.html?make=Hyundai&model=Santa%20Fe    or got to cars.com for a competing list from the dealers; for some reason these prices always differ from competing websites:    http://www.cars.com/go/configurator/styles.jsp?nclp=true&zc=08854&rd=30&aff=nati- - onal&makeid=19&modelid=5148&myid=&match=&dlid=&orgid=&aff=national Replies to this message: joobster (Mar 12, 2009 7:33 am) roughyear (Mar 12, 2009 2:09 pm) joobster (Mar 13, 2009 4:54 am) denvertrakker (Mar 12, 2009 8:05 pm) joobster (Mar 13, 2009 4:58 am)

Replying to: roughyear (Mar 11, 2009 4:52 pm) Thanks for the input. Will definitely go through the internet next time. It's not you that makes me want to blast away with a flamethrower, just the prospect that I paid too much for a pilot if I could have gotten close to that on a new Hyundai. I think it's still true that I couldn't get an SE with 3rd row, but only the Limited, and even your good price is really a lot more than my payments are now, especially if add tax and fees (or was that OTD?). There has to be a cut-off somewhere, right? So maybe I don't feel so bad. But then Rick says he got a new Veracruz for 23K OTD -- Ugh. Was it really OTD, I wonder? I certainly would have taken that deal. Replies to this message: roughyear (Mar 12, 2009 2:09 pm) joobster (Mar 13, 2009 4:54 am) denvertrakker (Mar 12, 2009 8:05 pm) joobster (Mar 13, 2009 4:58 am)

Replying to: joobster (Mar 12, 2009 7:33 am) the thing is... if u would have gotten a limited WITHOUT the nav, that would drop the price another $2k... so now ur at what $22k!!! around here (maryland/DC area) all the limiteds have 3rd seats.. nav was the only option it seemed.   the veracruz was nice, i just didn't like the front grill... but yeah, i think $23k OTD is/was a realistic price point, and STILL IS!!!   if u really really really want to drive yourself nuts, send out an internet query with the links i posted earlier and see what the dealers respond back with. there's no obligation... heck use a fake name and a new "junk" email address (from either yahoo or hotmail etc) to field those inquires .... better yet, if u want to do an experiment... send out the same inquires using one email address that has a male name and the other with a female name... you'll be surprised at what u get back.   the honda pilot, we found to be really boxy/plain and utilitarian, but if u like it, that's what matters. we thought the santa fe was a much much better deal than all the smaller suv's available.   good luck and don't drive yourself to batty.

I am looking at 2008 SF- SE FWD, w/carpet mats, cargo net. What would a good OTD price be?
