I think that I am in analysis paralysis between these two cars and am hoping that someone out there has already gone through this! I keep balancing the 2006 Tucson with all of its safety features (side curtain air bags, electronic stabilization) and better gas mileage against the larger Santa Fe. I have three kids - two in car seats - and am concerned that the Tucson may be too small. Has anyone stuffed a large family into these two cars?

I got a quote from a dealer in Bel Air, Md. yesterday for a 2005 lx4wd. no sunroof or other extras msrp is 23,404. Here's how he did it: Price of vehicle less $1000 rebate, 500 loyal owner rebate, 1000 off if I finance with Hyundai. he waive the $100 documentation fee and the $195 tag fee. The end result is 21,433. He said the 6% sales tax (PA) has to be taken against the msrp before deducting incentives. It seems to me he isn't giving much, most of it is from Hyundai. Should I push for a better deal? Also, how much is the Hyundai bumper to bumper extended warranty? Thanks, Rose Any extra advise would be great. I feel like a fish out of water working with these dealers. |

I was able to get a price of $21,800 (including $1k rebate to finance through Hyundai but before title & taxes) on a fully loaded 2006 Tucson Limited with accessory package 3 (sunroof) at Clay Hyundai in Newton, MA. I did not qualify for the loyalty rebate. They were absolutely great to deal with - very friendly, cooperative, worked easily over the phone. I highly recommend giving them a call. My experience at Herb Connolly in Natick was terrible. I had gotten a price on the same car of $22,000 (including $1k Hyundai rebate). That was where I did my initial test drive, and I figured for $200 that I owed them. As I was reviewing the paperwork to sign the deal, I asked the salesman what the Hyundai finance rate was going to be. He responded that the finance manager was out and he could not give me the rate because it depended on them running my credit report, the final sales date, etc. I said fine, but could he give me the approximate rate for someone with a top credit rating. He said that he couldn't give me my rate because the finance guy was out (all he had to do was lie & say 6% - I would never have known the difference). We went around for a few minutes & I asked to see the manager. The salesman say "look guy I can't tell you the rate - do you want the car or not?" I stood up, said thank you, and went to shake his hand - he refused & walked away. I left and the manager ran out to find out what the problem was - no problem for me since the chances of me ever giving them a dime are zero. |

So the deal is not that bad but considering the sunroof is an $800+ plus option, I think you could do a bit better. I bought it from Fitzgerald Hyundai, they are a no haggle dealer and although they were VERY SLOW on delivery day I am fairly confident I got a good deal. You might want to call them and see if they can beat the price. I would be very wary of sponsored financing. In order to get the rebate you are taking their financing and the question is, if you could get better financing would you do better in the long run. I got my loan at 4.5%, and will do better over the life of the loan. I got the full 10/100000 Hyundai extended warranty for just over $1,000. On a previous car I paid about the same price for an extended warranty with less provisions and it turned out the warranty company went belly up and I lost my money (WARRANTY GOLD, Inc). Moral:It may cost more than a secondary market extended warranty but if you wan to buy one I would buy one from the factory only. I have heard on the web that there are other Hyundai dealers who will sell you an extended factory warranty for ~$800. They can do this as they are not going to have to honor it (the dealer you take it to will) so they can shave the price and still make out. Best of luck! P.S. I have 3500 miles on it, first oil change today, and the car is running fine, and mileage on a mixed highway city driving in Maryland suburbs is about 21-22mpg. |

Replying to: rxcapt (Oct 26, 2005 8:54 pm) Boy now I'm really getting nervous. I think they could do better than they have done. I haven't had leather interior before, and am not sure my life style works with it. (hauling plants and things around. I keep a car forever, my subaru legacy is 11 years old, and I'm only getting a new car, because I'm told by my husband --it's time. I'm not too confident about Jones Junction in Bel Air. That's where I ended up. My daughter got a Elentra in July from Jack Giambalvo in York, Pa. They were nice; but the sales guy seems so out of it. he never seems to know what they have or what price they can give me. I feel like I.m pulling teeth when I talk to him. Anyway to force them to give their best deal and stop goofing around?
