#2454 of 2635 Re: Is this a good deal for a Limited AWD? [CowherPower] by clueless17 Jul 02, 2009 (11:06 am)
Replying to: CowherPower (Jul 02, 2009 10:36 am) I don't think you are crazy. I think you should buy what you can afford. I would have bought an AWD SE if I could have, but I knew what I could and wanted to pay. I have had an AWD in the past, and I very rarely used it. Have you looked at an SE AWD? I know they are not as plush as the limited, but might be a consideration if you are trying to keep the price down. JMO
#2455 of 2635 Should I worry about a new car that already has 300 miles? by CowherPower Jul 02, 2009 (1:12 pm)
Ok, so I finally found a 2009 Limited AWD in the right color, but it already has 300 miles. I'm in northern Virginia, and it turns out that the dealer did a swap with a dealer in Pennsylvania and they drove the car down. I don't know anything about break-in periods, but I can't imagine that it's good to put a brand new car on the interstate and drive it 300 miles. Should I be concerned, or are break-in periods mostly a thing of the past?   Thanks! Replies to this message: anonymouse2 (Jul 05, 2009 12:30 pm) CowherPower (Jul 05, 2009 4:14 pm)
#2456 of 2635 2010 Santa Fe by shivelyt Jul 02, 2009 (2:31 pm)
Anybody hear anything about what's in store for 2010. The current model is getting pretty stale. I had heard that they were going to make 2009s only thru May and then start producing 2010s forward. Some design changes expected. They need to work on gas mileage.

I'm in Canada so I guess your prices won't help me at all. I have asked 5 dealers for an email price, only 1 responded. I gave a phony phone # and address cause I don't want them calling me or writing me. I want to see the email price first, then decide to call them myself. I just came back from 2 weeks vacation in Victoria, BC and the rental I was given is the Sante Fe and I fell in love. It was wonderful to drive and the vision was amazing. I don't even want to look at my car, told hubby I want a Santa Fe, he said ok. I am 2 hrs from the City here, so I really need to get email prices before I drive into the city to shop. I need to know what they have in stock etc. Do any of you think that paying cash automatically saves money? Or does it matter?   I hate buying new vehicles, I'm good at dickering, I simply say: Can't go that high, thanks for your time and walk out. They usually call me by the next day, however, like I say I live 2 hrs. from dealerships, so that won't happen now. Its a wonderful SUV, I didn't think I'd ever want one but here I am, and I never thought I'd ever buy foreign, but here I am lol. Good Luck to all, hope I can get a good deal marg2buylink">

Replying to: CowherPower (Jul 02, 2009 1:12 pm) If you intend to keep the car till it drops, I'd say worry about the break in period. if you intend to sell it in 3-5 years, leave the break in worries to the next owner to worry about oil consumption and low mileage.

#2461 of 2635 Re: dealers fail ro respond [azj] by anonymouse2 Jul 05, 2009 (12:37 pm)
Replying to: azj (Jul 02, 2009 8:57 am) My experience was similar. But all said, after 3 weeks of emails and calls, I felt I got the car I wanted at the price I wanted, and I did not have to dicker around too much on their turf. Its a control issue - car dealerships are mostly based on a high pressure sale and controlling your emotions when they have you in the dealership. When you do it over email, price is the only tool they have, and usually the folks who will not respond know that they will never be the lowest price. So I felt I was probably not losing much with the dealers who did not respond. Also, make absolutely certain they tell you the OTD price for the car, not just their discounted price as they can always slip in things when you get there.

Replying to: anonymouse2 (Jul 05, 2009 12:30 pm) Thanks for everyone's input, but in the end it looks like I will not be getting a Santa Fe. The price was right, but on my last test drive I just couldn't get comfortable without my head hitting the roof. I'm 6' 4" with most of that coming above the belt, and I would have had to tilt the seat way back to stop my hair from rubbing on the ceiling. So now I am looking at getting a Toyota Highlander instead. It's a good bit more expensive, but I also think it is much nicer on the inside (and maintains its value better). The Santa Fe looks like a great vehicle, I just wish it had an extra inch of head room.
#2463 of 2635 My deal - verdict? by sbn5 Jul 05, 2009 (6:28 pm)
So I am shopping for a 09 Limited AWD and currently have a quote of $27,300 OTD. How does this sound for a deal? I've been playing two dealers against each other and could hopefully get a little bit lower - question is how much (if at all). This is in VA/NC.   THanks.
