Very grateful for this website and info shared! Otherwise, I would not have considered a Hyundai Veracruz. Bought my VC from an out of town dealer since dealers here are unwilling to match, and this is not even the best offer out there. None of them has AWD in the lot even though that's what I wanted. 2007 Hyundai VC Limited FWD w Floor Mats, & First Aid Kit: MSRP $33,140 OTD $30,100 Bob Dunn Ford/Hyundai in Greensboro, NC No balloon financing, no competitive rebate, paid in full. I stick on my Garmin Nuvi while driving home (80 miles from the dealership), it works fine so don't feel bad about the lack of Navi system. It was a very smooth pleasant highway drive.  Unfortunately I found an almost microscopic nick in the second row leather seat. With the perforated leather, I worry that it will tear even though it's small. The manager at the dealer said that I have to have the leather repaired back in Greensboro, it cannot be done at Chapel Hill, Cary, or Raleigh. That's a long trip back  Thanks again and good luck with the rest of you. |

Replying to: jimmyz4 (Aug 12, 2007 4:50 am) I think I may be on the verge of finishing my quest, but until I have the keys I won't celebrate just yet. A dealer I spoke with a month ago contacted me last night that he had located the black Limited AWD/Unlim./Prem. I've holding out for and I jumped on it. I'm just waiting for the transfer process to be verified and completed. I can't wait! If all goes as planned, I should get it $350 under invoice which is pretty good for a scarce vehicle. I had negotiated a much lower price at 2 other dealerships ($1000 under invoice!), but neither has been able to find anyone willing to trade. I'll let you know what happens.

Replying to: jarus (Aug 14, 2007 2:54 pm) I'm purchasing through Fred Beans Hyundai in Doylestown, PA. They're the only dealer in the area to actually locate a black AWD limited w/ulimited/premium package. They won't tell me where they found it, but seemed they had little trouble. It helps to have already received a competitive price negotiated (online) from a competing dealer. Look at the Hyundai site for other nearby dealerships. Good luck! |

I must say, as a Lexus RX300 owner I had more than one sleepless night when I made the decision to buy a Veracruz Limited AWD. In my insecurity, I read the brochure about 20 times, and the Motor Trend Report is dog eared. I read every possible Internet blog and review on the car. Still, I wondered whether I had made a bad decision that my years of experience should have protected me against. How can you pay less, and get equal or more?? That usually does not compute in the rules of life. I almost called the dealer and told him to cancel the order. Twice. I'm sure glad I didn't. I took delivery of my VC and I am thrilled with it. Even my wife said "You REALLY like that car, don't you..." YES, I do. And she does too, I might add. I have been all over that car trying to find if they cut corners. Instead, I find attention to detail and great thought and quality. From the seams in the saddle leather to the thoughtfully laid out dash, to the bag hooks in the rear, quality and thought is there. All the doors to storage compartments are spring loaded and open with a magical smoothness. A nice touch. As for the ride - Excellent. Granted, I have only driven it 100 or so miles, but, I am getting ready for a trip to South Florida and really looking forward to it. That six speed transmission is as smooth as reported. I mean, really smooth. The Infinity sound system is second to none. Your teenagers will want to sleep in the car, if not, establish a long term loan agreement. It is a cool car that they will drool over. I have gotten 18 MPG around town with the temperature 95 degrees. So, I am happy and expect that I will do much better on the road. More later after my longer trip. I have no regrets and am very satisfied with my VC. If any of you are having doubts about the Veracruz, take it from a two Lexus owner and one that has bought many new cars over the years - as the Hyundai ads say - Duh - no brainer. Buy it. It is a superb car with lots of technology, toys and safety features. It reflects thoughtful design and careful, caring assembly. You won't be sorry....

Replying to: wheelie1 (Aug 14, 2007 9:54 am) You will understand when you get it and drive it. I find $1000 under invoice a little hard to believe, that is probably why they can't find a car. Might be a little snake oil there. Or, bull oil. The best to you on your quest. |

Replying to: carbuyer11 (Aug 15, 2007 7:38 pm) My 2000 RX300 has also served me well. No complaints, just a great car in all respects. But, vs an RX 350, the VC intrigued me. I am a toy/technology guy and I loved what Hyundai did with the VC. I saw innovation, great design and a fair price. And, also a very important thing - quality. So, I bought it. It is a Hyundai and certainly that does not have the "status" of Lexus. But, like I told my wife, I really could care less about what anyone thinks about my VC. I will match it against their wheels anytime. Bring it on. Frankly, probably most people will think it is a Lexus anyway. My vanity plate - CRUZ'IN

My quest is finally over and it was well worth the stress. I finally picked up my black AWD Veracruz Limited/Ultimate Pckg/Premium last night and all I can say is America is about to find out that Hyundai has arrived. This C.U.V. is all quality. The ride is smooth, the Infinity sound system is breathtaking. I feel like I just bought a Lexus. This time last year I came so close to buying a Honda Pilot. I'm so glad I waited. Take my advice if you're on the fence don't hesitate. Saturday, I'm taking a drive with my family to the Jersey Shore and I'm so looking forward to it. Thanks to all who post for your help. By the way, negotiated price was $35,175.00 + TTL. This price also included a $200 search and transfer fee. I hate fees, but since this vehicle was so hard to find, I figured it was worth it. |
