2013 and Earlier - Hyundai Santa Fe Prices Paid and Buying Experience

2007ltdpwp

I don't know much about leasing, but I thought the "Touring Package" only added $1200 to the MSRP or $1100 to the Invoice price...
I have nearly 13K miles on my '07 Limited bought last October(w/Touring and Ultimate pkgs-LOADED) and I can't say enough GOOD about it...GOOD LUCK !!!

Another thing for them to change is the windshield wiper placement. When we first got the SF, I wanted to use the wiper for the gear shift. Yikes! And my husband who has big hands is always hitting it and turning on the wipers (without the washer). He also thinks the blue lights at night are still too bright, even on dim. I however, love them.

jcwsbltd

I know what he means about the windshield wiper/washer lever - I've hit mine several times too. I agree with you, though, about the blue lighting - I like it. I've put 662 miles on it since 4/30 and found it to be an execellent machine . I've had many cars over the years,but this one seems to have everything I want.
They really did their homework when they re-made the '07 model SF to appeal to the U.S.Market.

I understand that they have used a different type of oil filter in the new engine, that drops in with a compression type seal - I don't mind taking it to the dealer for oil changes at $26-95 but anyone know if the regular oil change places have this oil filter in stock yet? It's always good to have a choice and the dealership can take more time.

Thank you.

Here's is some more info from email exchanges with that same (third dealer) I have begun negotiating with:

A marketing bulletin was sent out by HMFC revising the leases. The residuals changed and the money factors changed. They changed from there standard 30 and 42 month terms, and now are offering 24,36, and 48 month terms. This is unusual, however it does happen from time to time. I outlined them below.

24 months factor = .00280 res. = 61%
36 months factor = .00288 res. = 50%
48 months factor = .00296 res. = 40%

By the way, I am available on Saturday, and a copy of the "revised" program is available for your review.

so, at least he is not only giving me numbers, but willing to let me "review" his documentation. that sounds like he seriously wants to make a deal.

i'll let you know how it goes after my meeting on Saturday.

Just posting, I bought a new 07 Gls 2.7 V6, I got it for 20604 out the door including floor mats.

Is this a fair price

Unfortunatly rocks flying during a trip on the interestate have put two dents the size of quarters on my roof. Any suggestions how to avoid spending alot to fix this, we just go to 5000 miles

I wonder whether we will see any rebate changes for the coming memorial day.

I was informed that the balloon rebate was increased to $2550 since middle of May.

flwonder

What is a balloon rebate of $2550 and where did you get the
information?

mindaugas

Hi! Did you used a $1000 rebate or special financing? What was a price before TTL? But I think that your got a nice deal overall !

coras

Hi! I have been considering a Santa Fe for a while now, and am at the point where I have begun negotiating for the best deal. Just wondering if anyone is familiar with the Canadian SF prices and can tell me if the below is a good deal:

Santa Fe GLS 5-seater - $32,600
Santa Fe GL AWD 5-seater - $28,800

The above prices do not include taxes, or the following additional costs:
Freight $1595
A/C and Gas Taxes $300

I'd appreciate any opinions. Thanks!

farzee

I have been researching the same, and I must say that 32,600 for GLS/5-seat is better than what I have got so far. Have you checked at carcostcanada by any chance?

coolstanta

How do you think $32000 for Santa Fe GL AWD 5-seater before Tax, already including all fee, blog heater, under-, body- and interior-coating?

lcdos

Check my previous post for the balloon financing. Basicly it is a disguised leasing.
My wife saw the rebate change somewhere in this forum. I talked with several Houston dealers, and they confirmed the $2550. :surprise:

coras

No, I haven't checked carcostcanada yet - have you? I would appreciate it if you would share your prices, so I have a basis for comparison... how much better is my price than what you have been getting?

farzee

I haven't either...not yet atleast. The dealer I talked to yesterday, however, easily agreed on 32600 and I have a good feeling that he would be a bit lower as well. I plan to settle for 32200 as final ..for GLS/5-pass...lets see

farzee

I assume you are talking about GL-Leather?? Including PDI, or thats on top?

farzee

Cora, the GL price you got (28,800) ...is that for GL-Premium, or leather?
Also, noticed your A/C+Gas is 300...I was quoted 175. Maybe different across provinces.

coolstanta

Farzee, I am talking about GL AWD (not leather). According to your info, the price should be 28800+1595+300=$30695. The blog heater is a must according to some province law. How much do you think I should pay for the heater, under-, body- and interior-coating?

coras

No, thats GL AWD only, no leather and not premium. I believe that the GL Leather only comes FWD, if I'm not mistaken.

And PDI/Freight, and taxes would be extra. I listed those costs as I was quoted in my original post.

After being investigating and test driving for a week, my husband finally settled on SF. He loved Edge or Murano better but those two are so pricey. We met bad sales consultants in Honda and Toyota. They don't let us to test drive at all because that they don't want to put mileages on them! What a world! Never mind, bye, CRV and Rav4!

We paid just over 22K OTD on this beauty, an arctic white SF SE only with floor mat after $1000 +$400(new grads) manufacture rebates.

Initially I wanted a powder white pearl, but just couldn't tell the difference between those two whites. It was cloudy on that day and the arctic white one seemed better.

Bigger V6 engine seemed very attractive but we are not so much into a moonroof or leather. So just asked for the basic. There are so much in SF SE: 6 airbags, the stability control, ABS, cruise control, roof racks, etc!

We went straight to the dealer with the lowest price after quote (we did 6 in total). The sales consultant wasn't too patient since it was supposed to be his day off. But it's OK since he helped us a lot on explaining key things.

The only thing I wasn't happy about is that our Hyundai dealer kinda "forced" us to loan 14K by saying that's the minimum, without showing any paper work from the hyundai finance center. It was OK, since the rate is not too bad, 8.75%. But we really wanted to go low to 5K. Anyway, the price was not bad and we cannot complain too much.

We've learned a lot from this forum and hope our experience will help. Good luck to new buyers! We've made a long list of our hiking trips last night and will definitely fully enjoy our SF!!!

hgershman

Yeah, we're being offered basically the same deal up here in White Plains, NY. $25K + change w/out sunroof, $26K + change with the roof. (Includes $1K rebate) No third row nonsense. The deal maker will be appropriate $$ for my trade in!!

farzee

I am afraid I dont know the the delta for heater and coatings. Nor have I looked into details of the GL AWD...was shooting for GL/Leather and GLS/5-pass...and ending up with GLS/5-pass.

newbuyer11

I'm looking at purchasing a 2003 Santa Fe for $9997 which has 70K miles. Would you consider this a good deal? I also want a car history report befor I do purchase it.

oceang2

I'm selling my 2003 Santa Fe GLS so I can purchase the 2007. I'm in south Florida. I'm the original owner and the car is in great condition. The car has 135K miles on it though and I'm selling it for 5500.00 (all highway miles). Let me know. best of luck to you otherwise.

lookn4van

Hi Guys,

What would be a good deal for a base AWD GLS automatic model in Portland (oregon) area?

Thanks in advance,

jd6

Just bought a 2007 Santa Fe AWD Limited (5 Passenger/Platium Sage/No Sunroof) for $24,000 before Tax/Title/Licence. Do you think I got a good deal?

lookn4van

Good but not great ;-D
I guess I'm looking for a GREAT deal :-D
Who was the dealer by the way ?

mpuzach

Assuming that your purchase price reflects the $1000 rebate, you bought the car for $2000 less than what the dealer paid for it. You tell us - do you think you got a good deal? :confuse:

BTW, even considering the dealer holdback (probably in the area of $500), I still don't know how people are getting these deals UNLESS we're not hearing about under-valued trades that are involved.

slateblue

I think you made a great deal, thats $4815 under MSRP. That's an excellent price...doesn't matter where you live.

lookn4van

Well that's the million dollar question, isn't it ?
I'm not sure how ppl get these deals and they do all the time. I personally have gotten 2 such good/great deals in the past and NOW I'm hooked :-)
BTW a good deal would be
http://www.edmunds.com/new/2007/hyundai/santafe/100761209/optionsresults.html?action=2

A great deal would be anything <= $500-$1000 below the TMV price. How/where to get it ? I don't know yet but somehow experience tells me I WILL :-D
Until then I'll keep looking.

jd6

Hallmark Hyundai in Spokane,WA.

jd6

I didn't have a trade. And yes that price included a $1,000 rebate, $750 Hyundai finance discount and a $500 customer loyalty discount.

lookn4van

I'm assuming finance discount is available when u finance from Hyundai. What was the apr/years ?

Thanks.

jd6

I took the 36 month/4.99%, But I had cash available and paid it off before any interest accrued.

ppborceb

Yes, I would say that you got a real good deal.
I thought I got a good cash(no trade) deal on a 2007 SF Limited, AWD, no options, but floor mats, cargo cover, pin stripes, door guards, and three free oil/filter changes for $25431+tax,registration,doc fee, but then again, I live in CT.
Rest assured that anytime you can get a vehicle below dealer invoice you got a good deal for yourself... you just have to be at the dealership at the right time and get a salesperson that needs to make one more sale to meet their quota for the month and then you've got it made!

jd6

I agree timing has a lot to do with it. I bought it towards the end of the month in April. I didn't get the door guards or pin striping that you got but I did get floor mats,cargo cover and one free oil change but I thought that was standard options by Hyundai. It's good to think for once that I got a good deal after all of the times I've been screwed over in the past by new car dealers. Thanks.

andytracy

Just stopped by a dealer in Upstate New York area. They have a 3 day sale event till the end of this month. They gave me a quote for the 07 Santa Fe SE FWD with premium package for $23,400 after the $1000 rebate, plus TTL. But this SE FWD with premium is not in their stock. They have to transfer from somewhere. And the color is not known yet. They do have a lot of SE FWD without options in stock, and sale price is now $22600 (after rebate). Anybody knows if this ($23,400) is a good deal or just fair price? Thanks.

tcwikla

Not good especially if they do not have the car in stock. Best to check a dealership with too many in stock if possible. For the same price quoted, I purchased a LE FWD with sunroof (the premium package), mats, and cargo tray late April.

liuli

I just bought a Santa Fe Limited + Touring + Premium with $22700 out of door. I traded in my old car. When I brought it to CarMax, they only wanted to give me $1700. So I traded it in with Hyundai Dealer. I live in North Dallas. It seems Santa Fe is really cheap these days...

liuli post # 905
Where did you buy your Santa Fe?

amanchan

Hi liuli!

Which dealership did u go to? I live in Dallas and planning to buy one tomorrow. I am assuming 22700 included TT&L. Also did u finance from them gettin 2550 rebate or took 1000 Hyundai rebate? Your response will definitely help me.

tcwikla

Living in the Chicagoland area, I purchased mine at Gartner Buick / Hyundai in Aurora, IL. Per their website, they have 15 Limited still in stock.

liuli

I bought it from Huffines Hyundai at Plano. I took the $2550 finance rebate since they said there is no prepayment penalty. So I will pay it off within the first month. Yes, everything is included in that $22700.

boyz

liuli,

Your price includes trade in, right? If not it's an awesome price. What is the value of your trade in?

liuli

I traded in my old car. They quoted me as $1500 but put it as $2500 on the paperwork. CarMax quoted me $1700.

oceang2

Are they offering the 2550. rebate from Hyundai financing all over the country because it doesn't show up on the Hyundai website when I looked. Only the 1K rebate shows up. thanks

tuggers

I first tried a Pilot - interior not pretty enough' and I hate column shifters. Gas mileage bad.

Then I tried a Toyota Highlander Limited. Better inside, better mileage, best price was $29,700 plus 599 dealer fee and t&t. Not happy when '08's will be out in 30 days.

Tried a Volvo XC90. Loved it but Consumer Reports gives it a big black circle in reliability. Not for me.

I have a friend who has an '06 Santa Fe and LOVES it. Says it's the best car she's ever had. I have to admit I like the look of it and the gas mileage.

Now the questions: What kind of price can I consider a target for the 2WD LTD w/sunroof? Bear in mind that I am in the very southern most part of Georgia but will travel most anywhere and drive it home if price is right.

Can some of you who have been looking for this model offer some experience please.=

Also has anyone taken the 10 yr/100,000 mile extended bumper to bumper warranty and if so what did you pay. I plan to keep this car for a while!

Thanks so much. Looking forward to your replies.

slateblue

tuggers, I have the Santa Fe equipped just as you described and could not be happier with my purchase. I would check a few sites such as carsdirect and fitzmall to see what their current pricing is and ask your local dealers to match it. Check Hyundai's corporate site and determine any rebates available when your ready to purchase. 2008 model will be available in a couple of months so pricing should be competive and rebates normally increase as new model release approaches.

I can't help on the extended warrenty question as I did not buy it. Looks like your pretty thorogh in your research and you should be able to find a dealer to meet your price. Good luck.

mindaugas

Can anybody share their personal experiences of purchasing a 2007 SF GLS 2WD A/T without any optional packages in a suburbia of Chicago? Is it still possible to find honest dealer out there ? Looks like all of these "internet quotes" is just to lure people into a dealerships where much more bigger price appears out of nothing !!! Really hard to trust dealers now !!! :mad:

liuli

I know several other Hyundai dealer at Dallas have this $2550 rebate but not sure about other area.

andytracy

I got a lot of help from this awesome forum so I post my experience here. I just made a deal with a dealership in upstate NY area for the 2007 Santa Fe, SE, Front wheel drive, with Premium package, powder pearl white with beige interior. They offered me $23600 after the $1000 rebate. I finally negotiated it to be $23050 after rebate, with $3500 trade in of my old Hyundai Elantra. Dealer document fee is $45. Nice people to deal.
