This being my first new car ever (I am 31) I was nervous about buying one but I did a lot of research and went to a few dealers who had a take it or leave it attitude. I went home and read some more.. then i went on the offensive, I walked into a dealer... told him what I wanted in the car and what I would pay for it. I had my numbers in hand to back me up and the deal was done. I got it for $900(something) under MSRP plus they threw in pinstiping (because the striped it without asking me) and they axed the dealer prep. Informed buyers have power. No wait for delivery, they had the Sandstone GLS with pkg 11 right in the showroom. Now we are LOVING it. Hopefully the love will last. Keith |

<<that deal would not have happened anywhere in the country. >> Wanna Bet? I did about the same on my wife's Santa Fe. Know what you want, have the numbers in hand and don't back down. They can take it or leave it and there are a lot of good dealers out there who know that they will still make a decent profit on the car at that price AND more than likely have a very satisfied customer who will return for service regularly. Customer good will goes along way towards future sales. Not everyone will be as well informed but they will still come back to buy from that dealer. Why? Because someone recommended them HIGHLY! Finding a good car dealership is like winning the lottery. But once you win you you tend to be damn happy and you tell people. That equals increased sales and a bigger profits. Sell one or two for a bit over invoice, keep the 3% or 2% that Hyundai gives them and the rest shall follow. Larger dealerships are more apt to do this than smaller ones. But it does happen, and it has happened. Worry not, they never lose money. The dealer I bought from had more than twenty Santa Fe's on his lot when I bought mine. Went back yesterday and he had none. Good sales I'd say. But when the ship comes in he will get a lot more of them than he had the last time. My two cents and take it or leave it. I'd be careful in the future about basically calling someone a liar. Sincerely, Richard. |

| I believe the pricing. I bought my first Santa Fe for $99.00 over dealer involce. The first dealer I visited would not budge from MSRP. The second dealer wanted $2,000 over MSRP for "extras". The third dealer had many more on the lot and without much pushing went to $99.00 over invoice. I imagine it depends on where you live and how much competition dealers have. By just traveling 25 miles I saved thousands. Will I have my service done there even though it is a longer drive? Yes. Will I recommend this dealer to friends? I already have. Best of all, I am so happy with the dealer and the Santa Fe that I returned a month later and bought a second. Keith, I hope you enjoy your Santa Fe, you did well. | |
| Hi everyone in Santa Fe land. I have read all the messages here at this website but no one has comment about the CD Player having skipping. I just want to check out to see if anyone having their SF CD Player skipping on them too. The problem I have is that I live here in NE Wisconsin and we have the cold temp here. I often leaved my CDs in the car and when I drive the car and listened to the CD, the songs is skipping on me. I'm not sure if the CD Player is bad or because of the cold weather we have here cause it to skipping. I just got this Santa Fe LX 2wd about a week now. This is my first car that have CD Player too. So I don't know if it is suppose to skip like this or not. Please help, and comments will be greatly appreciate it. thank you all. | |

| If they sold it to you for that than scan your finance contract or purchase agreement. those of you "ordering" hyundai's. You can't. The are allocated to dealers from hyundai. If they told you that they lied. They might try to locate you one or have one allocated already. but other than that they are just hoping. | |

We can't help u! But U can help yourself by 1st check your CD to make sure there is no defects (Having scratches) on it. If the problem is not on the CD. Then simply show it to Hyundai dealership to get it fix or replace. Is your problem solved? PS. My Candian Version come with Clarion CD & radio Player w/detachable face, never encounter any problem the sound quality is great but the buttons is very tiny. First is very difficult to use but now I get use to it already. (Just like u changing using a Palm computer from a desktop computer.) I like it better than the Hyundai's one(in US version). That looks very old fashion to me. |

no shame in my game... i will scan my purchase agreement and post it on my website. go to hyundaiusa.com price a GLS v6 4wd with a package 11. GLS V6 Four Wheel Drive $20,799.00) 4-Speed SHIFTRONIC Automatic 2.7-liter 24-valve DOHC V6 Exterior: Sandstone Interior: Beige Package 11 $595.00) Destination & Handling $495.00) Total $21,889.00 I flat out told the guy i would pay 21 even. he went to the manager with a price even lower than that. he came back and said the manager didnt go for the lower price... so i said... just go back and tell him what i offered you in the 1st place... 21,000. also, since the car is on the showroom floor already... i didn't feel i should have to pay dealer prep of $349. salesman agreed and got that knocked off the price. THEN. the day i showed up to pick up the car, it turned out that during the week, the pinstriper came in and pinstriped ALL the cars on the showroom floor. i didn't ask for pinstriping so i wasn't made to pay the $195 charge for that.... so add it all up and i actually got over $1000 of the car including dealer options... oh, i didnt mention that my car came with the $80 floor mats... do yourself a favor... don't be mad if you paid more than you should have and know what you are talking about when you try to call someone a liar.

| Thanks billtung, I know you or anyone can not help me out unless I help myself, that's true but your comments and suggestions certianly help me out.I know it can not be my CD disks. Because I just got these CD new and beside that when I listened to it at my stereo inside the house it sound pefect and no skipping at all. It happened to all of my CD disks. So it can't be it. But as I wiped the CD disk and warm up the car, the problems seem to go away but sometime it came back. That's y it is hard to determine that if its the CD Player bad or is its the cold weather causing it. Not sure... I guess I will try to call the dealer up. Thank you all... | |
