#154 of 212 breaking in engine by 06tucson Aug 15, 2006 (8:24 pm)
Thx...question to all...im picking up vehicle tomorrow and was planning on driving 400 miles to ohio the following day. Reading that its not good to drive new car at same speed for extended time as debris builds up in the cylinder and may cause a groove where piston is stopping. people recommend varying the speeds. what is hyundai's recommended technique. what have you guys done. My last car was an acura and they said car didnt need break in period. I still took it easy the first couple thousand miles. wadaya think?

Replying to: 06tucson (Aug 15, 2006 8:24 pm) This is from the Tucson manual:   During the First 1,200 Miles (2,000 Km) No formal "break-in" procedure is required with your new Hyundai. However, you can contribute to the economical operation and durability of your Hyundai by observing the following recommendations during the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km). o Don't drive faster than 55 MPH (88 km/h). (This is a tough one to follow.)   o While driving, keep your engine speed (rpm, or revolutions per minute) between 2,000 rpm and 4,000 rpm.   o Use moderate acceleration. Don't start quickly or depress the accelerator pedal fully.   o For the first 200 miles (300 km), try to avoid hard stops.   o Don't lug the engine (in other words, don't drive so slowly in too high a gear that the engine "bucks"-shift to a lower gear).   o Whether going fast or slow, vary your speed from time to time.   o Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time.   o Don't tow a trailer during the first 1,200 miles   I pretty much followed their suggestions with exception to the “Don't let the engine idle longer than 3 minutes at one time.” I had to run into the store, left my family in the car for 5 minutes with the AC on. It was 101 degrees that day, I didn't want them to melt. Replies to this message: 06tucson (Aug 15, 2006 9:04 pm)

Replying to: pas914 (Jul 14, 2006 8:50 pm) Curious to know where you live. I have been trying to make a deal with just about every dealer in Ohio for a 2006 Limited 4wd and the lowest price anyone will give me is $22,713 including the $1,000 rebate. This price is, of course, before tax title and license. It also does not include the sunroof. I know the 2007's will be out shortly and I'm hoping they will be willing to negotiate with me a bit more. Replies to this message: pas914 (Aug 25, 2006 5:18 pm)

Replying to: kerris98 (Aug 24, 2006 10:15 am) I live in NJ - the dealership I purchased from was "Brad Benson Mitsubishi & Hyundai". they had a special at the time and were offering "30% off any new Hyundai" .. the inflated sticker price ($27k) included a $3k "option pkg" (which amounted to door guards, mud flaps and a pinstripe), and they added $1k back in after the 30% (they said that was a Hyundai loyalty incentive for previous Hyundai owners only), but then took off another $500 for military discount -- so in the end, I dont think it was really 30% off of the car's true value. But either way, the car still came out ($19,500) well under the list/bluebook/msrp.   One more note - the car I got is a limited edition with running boards and a few extras, but it does NOT have a sunroof ..   Regards, Paul
#159 of 212 Is this offer OK? by nikolicde Sep 03, 2006 (5:44 am)
Hi Everyone, I leave in Northen NJ and this is what I got from the dealer: (2006 Hyundai Tucson GL, automatic, basic version, without accesories) "I have the vehicle you've requested in-stock... A 2006 Hyundai Tucson automatic lists at $19,345.00 including destination. Invoice is $18,774.00. You can purchase the car for $500 bellow invoice, and there is $1,000.00 factory rebate."   So after calculation, it looks like this: MSRP: $19,345.00 (both, dealer and edmunds.com) $18,774.00 - invoice price, including destination charge $600.00 (but invoice price on edmunds.com is $18,315.00 so seems dealer is adding $459.00 on his invoice price) - $500 discount - $1000 factory rebate which gives $17,274.00 Is this price OK?

#163 of 212 2006 or 2007 by batmobile Oct 20, 2006 (2:15 pm)
I'm thinking of buying a Hynudai Tucson. Either 2006 or 2007. The 2006 models seem around 2 K below the 2007 models (which are not really available at this point). I do need to buy within a couple of weeks so I can't wait for 2007 models anyway in trim and color. There seem to be relatively few differences between the 2006 and 2007 SUVs.   I know that resale value will be lower for the 2006 model, but I do not intend to resale for many years so I don't care about that.   Any thoughts on going with the cheaper 2006 model Replies to this message: chyanna (Oct 21, 2006 4:41 am) johnjj (Oct 31, 2006 5:45 am)
