Replying to: 07xle (Jan 24, 2007 7:06 pm) I'm back to you and sooner than I thought I would be, but first let me give you a little background... actually, a lot of background. Back in November 2006, I started looking for a 2007 Santa Fe Limited, AWD, Dark Cherry Red/Beige interior with Standard Equipment only(NO OPTIONS). I got several calls from dealers claiming that they had just what I wanted, but follow-ups proved they were blowing smoke(except for one dealer), and they tried to get me to accept another color or an option I did not want. The one dealer said they would search, find, and dealer swap for exactly what I wanted so I went with and stuck with them through the whole process which ended January 31... just in time for the $1000 rebate! Now comes the good part thanks to your educating me, I refused to pay advertising. In a previous posting, I mentioned that I do not pay the 'Dealer Conveyance Fee'(DCF) so I reduced my offer by that amount and told them to add it back in because as they say, it is 'required by law' to charge the DCF. So, here is 'the rest of the story'... I got the vehicle with no option packages, but because it came from another dealer some extra goodies were added by that dealer and included: floor mats, cargo cover, pin striping, and door edge protectors. I got all this for...... $25,431(rebate included)+DCF+tax+reg=$28,429 OTD!!! Thanks to this forum, especially you 07xle, my willingness to wait for what I wanted to become available, and a dealership willing to search for my vehicle, I got what I wanted. If you are looking for a particular vehicle, willing to wait, I Very Highly recommend... Lia Hyundai of Hartford, CT and their friendly, helpful, professional staff and management... and that's 'The Rest Of The Story' with a happy ending!!! Any Questions???

Hello. I live in Colorado where the winter has been very nasty this year. I decided it might be time to look for an AWD. I test drove the Sante Fe a couple of times and I am very impressed. It went over the bumps, potholes and snow ruts very smoothly. I even pulled it into a foot deep of unplowed snow on a side street. It got thru easily without having it in the 50/50 split. The question is... I will have a 2006 trade in. That means I will take a severe hit on the value so I need to make up the price difference by trying to get the best price for the Sante Fe. Should I buy now with the $1000 cash incentive or wait a month or two to see if the cash back goes even higher? Thanks

My wife and I have test driven just about everything in the small SUV market that fits our needs. We settled on a Santa Fe as being the best blend overall. I have talked to dealers about pricing and availability, submitted an order via CostCo auto (came back to a dealer who is $150 over invoice) and am running into the problem that the specific car we want is not anywhere. From this thread I found carsdirect.com and started the request process there.... I stopped when the page showed me: 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe All-wheel Drive SE (Discontinued) Discontinued??? I had selected a Santa Fe SE AWD 3.3L with Premium package(option group 24) in Deepwater Blue with gray interior. I tried with option group 34 as well adding the touring package and it came back discontinued. Any ideas why a 2007 model is discontinued?

Replying to: greatsunjester (Feb 06, 2007 11:24 am) I've noticed on a number of sites (including Hyundai's) that the XM option creates a different model. So, the Sante Fe AWD SE might be discontinued, but you should be able to find a Santa Fe AWD SE w/ XM. Hope this helps. |

Replying to: gopey (Feb 06, 2007 7:27 am) ) If you can get a good price on the Santa Fe and a decent trade-in, I'd buy now. That's just me though, obviously the decision will be made by you. Good luck and keep us updated!! |

I have been looking for a 2007 Santa Fe AWD Limited equipped with JUST the ultimate package. I have no need for a third row of seats so I can't justify the cost. I want the car in bright silver w/dark interior. I have been trying to locate this car since they released the 2007's. Every dealer I have tried to get it from told me that they only make that with the touring AND ultimate together. So I have been patient. Went to the Philly car show last weekend and there is was, the exact model I have been wanting. The Hyundai people comfirmed that they are making these and shipping them to many dealers. So, I get an e-mail from one of the dealers I have been working with telling me that they have the exact vehicle I was looking for. So here's the offer I was given: $750 under invoice (which is $28,917) and $2000 in rebates from Hyundai bringing the car to $26,917 plus TTL. I was pretty surprised that they are selling them for $750 under invoice. Is this deal to good to be true? Or can I do $1000 under invoive...i thought that these were selling well but that deal leads me to think otherwise. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thanks!
