#89 of 2059 Just purchased 2003 Sante fe 3.5 LX 2wd by cadillacjoe by richsap Sep 29, 2003 (6:37 am)
Sounds like you got a great deal! Congratulations. I wish I could have waited until the end of the model year to get a great deal, but I didn't want to take the chance that "my" Santa Fe would still be there. It was pretty much a one-of-a-kind on the lot with gold plated trim.
#90 of 2059 Almost certain I'm going to buy a Sante Fe in 2 months. by pinkyzep Oct 09, 2003 (10:04 am)
I'm strongly(I don't use that word loosely) considering purchasing a Sante Fe in 2 months. I have a few questions first. I'm not too picky on options in the car. Although I wouldn't mind a leather interior. My first question is that I've decided not to go with a 2004 Sante Fe buy with a 2003. Is the beginning of December or late December a good time to purchase a car at the dealership? The second question is what is woodgrain trim? Third question what's the difference between the LX AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A) and the GLS AWD 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 5A)?

The last weekend of any month is best. Your best bet is a high volume dealership in your area, as the more cars they sell in a month the larger kickback they receive from Hyundai, which should result in a lower price for you, if your purchase helps put them over the hump for that particular month. Maybe the end of Oct., or Nov. would also be good. You can buy the woodgrain trim as a dealer option like mud guards, bug shield,etc.etc. The LX is the most expensive and comes standard with leather, the GLS comes with cloth and less options. Good Luck!!

The only problem with waiting until December is there may be less to choose from. The deals get great when the model years changes (end of October) and though they do get better the older the inventory gets, they don't get THAT much better. They won't sell the car at a loss just because it is last year's model.   The Lx trim package keeps you from having to put your vehicle together piecemeal. I think you could save a couple hundred dollars if you got the GLS and just had them add everything on to it, but when it comes time to resell the vehicle you can't call it an 'Lx', but just a GLS with options added on. Personally, I think if you want the goodies, get them up front with the Lx package.   The wood trim is, of course, plastic. The factory 'wood' trim looks sharp though and adds distinction. I put aftermarket trim on mine, and though it is real wood, the way it is put in (adhesive vs. built in OEM) gives it a cheesy look if you put it under the microscope. Fortunately, most anybody that rides in my car doesn't look at the trim very carefully and they are impressed by the look.   Hope this helps your decision!
#93 of 2059 looking 2 buy a new SF by tiaralady Oct 11, 2003 (3:03 pm)
I live in Palm Beach county Fl. area, can anyone suggest a good dealer. I am willing to drive to get a great deal. I would like to purchase the GLS 2wd 2.7L in merlot or dark blue. Thanks for the help

I bought my SF at King Hyundai in Deerfield Beach (Broward Cty). While it was 20 months ago, at the time they gave me the best deal.    Haven't been back as I live ~300 miles north. I wasn't willing to drive that far. Did the deal over the internet and telephone (had the car delivered on a flatbed).
#95 of 2059 harry31 by tiaralady Oct 12, 2003 (5:19 am)
Thanks for the info, I will give them a try. I will be buying in a couple of months and Deerfield is about an hour from me. I would like to try the internet of fax method. Not to sure want to deal w/ salespeople in person. Thanks again.
#96 of 2059 financing. by pinkyzep Oct 15, 2003 (8:04 am)
Sounds like a stupid question, but since this is my first car, I feel I can ask it. Is it important in the lowering of the APR on how much money you put down as well as the finance terms. I'm about a month and half away from getting a Sante Fe. My credit should be pretty solid as well.
#97 of 2059 Re: financing by harry31 Oct 15, 2003 (8:45 pm)
pinkyzep:         All credit being equal, the APR factor is most influenced by term length. That is, the shorter the loan period, the lower the loan rate.          For instance, PeopleFirst.com is offering the following rates, with no down payment - and a lotta small print.   36-month loan:3.49% 60-month loan:3.99% 72-month loan:4.99% (on new car/dealer purchase)
#98 of 2059 thanks and another question. by pinkyzep Oct 20, 2003 (11:25 am)
I would like a leather interior, which would categorize the car as an LX. Is it possible to have the leather and sunfoof without all the extra's, like mudguards..etc.
