My out the door price is a few dollars shy of $22,000. This is in Texas where the taxes and fees are pretty horrendous, so I am pretty happy with the price. Working backwards, I think this makes the price for the vehicle somewhere between $20100 and $20300. (I say "I think" because I don't know where I put my notes at the moment. Pitiful. I know.)
This will make the third Hyundai I have owned and the third I have purchased from the same dealership. (This is why I am comfortable with working out a deal and going back later to finalize it.) I currently have two Elantras, but am trading one in on the Santa Fe. Besides its great mpg, the only thing I will miss from my 04 Elantra GT is the driver's seat. That thing is awesome! It has great side bolstering and is very adjustable. I have not seen a Hyundai seat as nice since I bought that car. I think the salesman thought I was joking when I asked if they could put the Elantra seat in the Santa Fe. Well, I was partially kidding.
In any case, come Tuesday, I will be a happy member of the Santa Fe club. I am excited about the capabilities and apparent quality of the Santa Fe and even happier when I consider the low cost of buying it.
I did everything over the phone, just went in once for the test drive. I gave them a couple of color choices, but it had to be gray interior. They found one close by with no packages and I had it in one day. Best car buying experience I ever had.
First driving impressions: man is thing quiet. No engine noise except a very low growl under hard exceleration. Its slightly busy on the interstate. Today I'm going to check the air pressure in the tires to make sure they are not over inflated, that could be the cause. Lot's of bells and whistles to get used to.
Anyway, I got them down to 30psi and it does ride smoother now. I guess they over inflate the tires so they can better handle a train ride from Alabama to their destination. How hard can it be to check the things during the prep process, however? I haven't let the dealer know about this yet, but will call them today.
By the way, my recollection of what I paid was a bit off. I found my notes that matched what I ended up paying when I signed the papers Monday night. I paid $20604 for the vehicle and had Texas taxes and fees added on top of that. That is for an SE with floor mats and a rear cargo mat. It is a few hundred more than I originally thought, but I am still extremely happy with the price. Man, that vehicle is smooth! Like butter.
Boy or Girl, you got a great deal and I say congratulations on a great job!
By the way, I just wanted to know if you got AWD or FWD for that price.
2007 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited AWD w/ XM, floormats, no additional options and 370 miles on the odo (I think it was a dealer trade because the window sticker was from a different dealer in MN).
$25,047 from Rosedale Hyundai in the Twin Cities, MN.
I want to get winter mats for the front and cargo area. Has anyone picked up the weathertech mats for the '07 yet? How did they work out?
I am going tomorrow to purchase SF AWD LTD base model and was quoted $24,987. They said they would match any offer I got.
Hope this helps. Oh, and it was not a demo, it had 12 miles on it.
Do you have any proof to your claim? I tought so. With 1000 - 1500 rebates on new Santa Fe and none on Outlander I wouldn't be so sure. Time will tell. Reliability and quality has been always pretty good on Mitsubishi's made in Japan, not so on model made here with Chrysler in the 80',that's truth. On the other hand, Hyundai and reliability were never used in the same sentence not that far back. IMO both are good now and it is a matter of personal choice.
<< Thank you so much for your email. I can match the price you emailed me about. But those people had a owner loyalty rebate of $500, active military rebate of $500, and a recent college grad rebate of $400. Do You qualify for all these. Let me know!!!>>
yet you say it was an auto show rebate, and you didn't previously own a Hyundai...
What's the story?
I'm looking for the same package, just a different color -- platinum sage/beige AWD Limited w/ XM, sunroof, mats, cargo tray.
PS - We love it!
My husband is sitting on the fence about buying now or waiting, and we have been given an excellent quote for a
Limited AWD w/ XM, sunroof, mats & cargo tray at a dealer here in Colorado ($24,134.00 plus dealer handling ($299.00) and your taxes, and financing thru Hyundai.)
Should we bite or wait??? I don't want to lose the rebate.
If you haven't aready purchase the SF, read my post #630, follow the process, and head down to Carolina Hyundai off Rt. 77 in Fort Mill - next to the Ford dealer. One exit south of Carowinds. Be tough and go in for the kill. They can beat Keffer anytime - I've purchased from both.
I hope that I find a deal like that next month, which is when I should "finally" be in a position to lease one! Good luck!
So that means that the owner probably was willing to let it go at that price in order to meet the monthly quota and get a bonus for himself (so, if they really did sell that ONE vehicle at a loss, the loss was probably less than the owner stood to lose in bonuses if he did not meet his monthly quota).
The salesman would probably be pissed mainly because if the above was true then that would mean that the owner stood to get a good bonus placed in his pocket, while the salesperson himself got a poor commission from the sale? At least, that is my thinking, since I believe that's the way it works with car dealerships?
He was told to try a dealer that is close to us in Hudson County ( about 5 miles away ) as his company deals a lot with the service and parts manager. That person who was very nice, introduced us to a salesman ( the original one he wanted us to meet was going to be too late for us to meet ). He was told, we are good friends and treat us like family. Well, we got the bums rush really and were being nickel and dimed. I did my research and had a clear picture of what I wanted Bright Silver SE with AWD. Seemed simple enough. They just kept trying to trick us into taking something else. After a lot of aggravation, I placed a small deposit on a Limited ( which I didn't really want, but I do love the spoiler ) with the sunroof option and 3rd row seating touring package. I really really didn't want the touring package ( 3rd row seating, read temp controls, tow package, which is really half a tow package ). But I figured I had no choice and I was probably getting a good deal since we had a great referral.
When I got home I looked over the paperwork and found out what those packages actually cost and the deal I was getting. Some Dealerships can be a nightmare and you hit with so many facts and numbers that you need to clear you head before you see what actually happened. Well, Hyundai has the $1000 rebate incentive going on now. My deal was actually about $700 below sticker even after the rebate before tax, title etc. Add that to the crummy treatment and today I went and cancelled the deal. My Father mentioned the day we had to the people at his job. I am not sure if someone there called ahead before we got there, but when I went to cancel the deal, the people formally involved would not even look us in the eye. They didn't apologize or ask anything. Just ok, see you later.
We drove up to Liberty Hyundai in Mahwah, which is a 50 min. ride with traffic. They are actually the only Hyundai dealership in North NJ that is listed in AAA as a friendly one with great service. We told them the story of what happened. They could not have been nicer to us. I called ahead to the sales manager so they expected us. We met a very friendly, helpful salesman who made the whole deal a pleasure. Although they didn't have the color I wanted ( bright silver ) with the options I was looking for, I did find the one I wanted in Platinum Sage. I have to say, that color is much better in person than on the website, at least on my browser and monitor. I really liked it in person. The best part is the radio comes with XM built in! I was stoked because it is really hit or miss with the Santa fe-s I have looked at. Some get it and some don't so that was a nice bonus.
All said and done.....07 Platinum Sage Santa Fe SE AWD with XM radio 25,544 including tax, title etc. I am pretty happy. It was worth the extra trouble and work just to be treated like a person, rather than a victim.
please repond asap. thanks.
Has anyone actually gotten $4-5,000 below invoice? Do you think its possible on the FWD Lmtd w/ sunroof and mats? I'm not getting the touring but these options almost equal out to the same.
