I had been lookin at all small SUV's(Toyota,Ford-Mazda,Honda & Jeep)none of these Sport-Ute can't beat the Hyundai $price when LOADED, Yes I did my homework . I'm also in Jz & lookin to buy a '03 Santy LX AWD or 2WD Fall-2003 w/no extras, but I definitely need the New 3.5L engine! I test drove SF Lx both engines 2.7L V6 & 3.5L V6(3.5liter was impressive!)

#45 of 2635 Getting '03 SF 3.5L Lx Fall '03 in Jz by 007up Aug 10, 2003 (6:45 am)
I plan to get '03 Santa Fe 3.5L Lx AWD or 2WD no extras like Noddy! Hey Noddy, Thx. for NJ-dealer info response. My sister purchased '02 Sonata Lx loaded from Maxon Hyundai Union,Nu-Jz and still enjoy her ride that she call her Jagnata. Hopefully there's still a good surplus of '03 SF before '04 Santy crowd showroom floors. Also read that Hyundai will redesign 2005 Santa-Fe and bring over BIG brother SUV TERRAN to our states. Well enjoy your '03 Santy and will keep you & all posted of how I do my SUV window website-shopping latter-day of 2003 Thx. 007up

Hello. I'm looking to buy the GLS 2wd version of the Sante Fe.So far the price range has been from $22,500 to $ 24,850. I am still searching but would love to hear if anyone recommends a dealer in S. Fla, mostly anywhere from Delray to Miami. I am willing to travel a little to get a good deal from the right dealer. Thanks ahead of time for your info.
#47 of 2635 Santa Fe Road Tests and Prices? by jaybab Aug 18, 2003 (8:11 am)
Hi Guys, This is my first post, but definitely would like feedback from your experiences. I have been looking at the Santa Fe and got a chance to test drive one this past weekend. I wasn't thrilled with it and didn't love the car. Don't get me wrong, I liked it. I drove a base model, standard, and just wasn't wowed. It had no extras and the material seemed a little cheap.   Please share your test drive experiences!!!
#48 of 2635 Santa Fe road test (jaybab) by richsap Aug 18, 2003 (9:55 am)
You really owe it to yourself to test the GLS with a 2.7L or 3.5L engine. The 3.5L, despite being just a little bit larger than the 2.7L, has quite a bit of 'oomph' in it. The 5 speed automatic transmission help on gas mileage also.   I was also dissappointed when I drove the base model, but liked the Lx model enough to buy one. Not to sell you anything, but Hyundai really does give you a lot for your money, more so than domestic models. They have come a long way since the 199X models.   You may also want to check out Kia's offerings. Same company owners, but different manufacturer. If you have any questions about Hyundai, ask away.
#49 of 2635 SANTE FE ROAD TEST (JAYBAB) by gilleymd Aug 18, 2003 (12:25 pm)
I just bought an LX. I also tested a smaller engined GLS, but was not thrilled. I took the LX up some pretty steep hills and gave it a really good run around sharp turns. It handled well. The 3.5L engine has plenty of giddyup and it drives very smooth, like a car. I didn't feel like I was in a jacked up box in the air, like some SUVs feel. If you are going to go with a Sante Fe, go for the LX. It is worth it. I got the Merlot color, leather interior, tow package, 4WD. I am very satisfied, I absolutely love it. I saw a Mazda tribute in the parking lot the other day with the same color scheme as my Sante Fe. I looked in the windows to see the differences, and the interior of the Tribute was not as appealing to me as the Sante Fe. I did not like the exterior styling as much either. Plus the Tribute, with the same package, is more.
#50 of 2635 IS THIS A GOOD DEAL? by daisy3333 Aug 20, 2003 (5:33 pm)
Ok, I've been negotiating on a 2003 Santa Fe, AWD, GLS model with a sunroof/moonroof (no ABS). I'm told the best they can do is $22k even not including tax, etc. There is a $1000 cash back to go with this but I'm a bit upside down on my tradein (I owe about $1400 more than it's worth; they are giving me fair trade value on the trade-in). Am I just a sucker or is the $22000 a good price? The GLS, according to what I saw on the lot and at Edmunds, is pretty much loaded with stuff and is AWD. I'm planning on putting down a small down payment this in next couple days so anything feedback would be appreciated asap. Thanks!
#51 of 2635 Is this a good deal? by richsap Aug 21, 2003 (3:18 am)
I've read of better deals had by others. It is also coming up on the end of the model year, so that buys you some leverage. Wait until the next to last day of the month (just before they have to report their monthly sales) and dangle a carrot in front of them. Offer something low (say $20,000 before the rebate) and let them come down from their price. Make sure they stick with their original offer for your trade, that they don't "accidentally" slip the rebate into their offer and be prepared to walk out once, twice or even three times. Give them your home phone number. They'll call.   Another bargaining tool: Offer to get any additional dealer-installed equipment thrown in for free as part of the deal. Their cost is about 60% less than what you would pay out of your pocket on most of it. For instance, I got cab step-up bars, mud flaps and cross rails thrown in for free. I would have paid about $550 for these options, but it only cost the dealer about $300 out of his pocket to make the sale. And I guarantee you this: If the salesman starts crying about not making any money, he/she is lying. They can sell the car for under their invoice price and still make money. Remind them of all the money they will make from you as a service customer (oil changes, etc.). Then ask the salesperson point blank if he is willing to give up the whole deal for X dollars. But you MUST be prepared to walk away from the table and go to another dealer or put off buying for a few weeks for this to work.
#52 of 2635 Test Drive and 2WD vs. AWD by jaybab Aug 21, 2003 (6:03 am)
Hey Guys! Well I took some advice and test drove a GLX last night after having a terrible test drive in a base GL model. I was definitely impressed! It was fully loaded and had power and handled pretty well. I don't feel the need to have 4WD, but what is the real difference between 2WD and AWD? Is AWD more $$$? Is it worth it? The dealer I went to in suburban Boston was very nice, no pressure sales and said that could get a GLS, 3.5, V6 including some options for $21 and change. He said he could get a GLX for just a little more, if not the same (as they didn't have a GLS on the lot) Which was before I even began negotiating. Good price to start from? Can you ask to see the invoice?   Tx,
