Hyundai Santa Fe (2006 and earlier)

hal2001 · February 2001

Hyundai sells a rear spoiler for the Santa Fe out of their accessories catalog. It is $85.00.

Hey everyone -

Stop all the hand wringing over aftermarket wood dash trim kits and the missing pieces. Just buy the Hyundai wood dask kit for $175.00 and you won't have to sweat fit, gaps, etc. Looks great!

Does anyone have an Email address for HyundaiUSA?
They conveniently left it off their web site. I guess they don't want to be bothered answering questions/complaints, etc.

It would be perfect to have the EMail address for the National Sales Manager and the President/CEO.

I too experienced the dealer trying to add in an "advertising fee" to inflate his invoice cost and I would like to report this to Hyundai. It's
total BS and consumers shouldn't fall for it.

karlat · February 2001

I too am going through a broker (US Auto). What, if any, kind of discount did you get--if you don't mind me asking? US Auto said they can get the GLS for me for $500 below MSRP. As far as the advertising fee--they said I HAVE to pay it, but they didn't know what it was.....hhhmmmmm. When the dealer told you that you had to pay it--what was the amount? I also was told that I couldn't ORDER the SF in a specific model/color--the only thing I could do was put my name on "the list" and see what comes in.

wbdave · February 2001

It will be week 5 this Saturday as I patiently wait on my black GLS w/ABS. I'm not convinced my dealer is doing all he can to acquire this vehicle. This of course was after my salesman told me they'd be able to find one within one week, tops!

karlat · February 2001

What state did you "order" your GLS w/ABS?
That is the same kind I put my name in for....Color--blue or black.

mtnrunner1 · February 2001

What is the Hyundai web address where one can order accessories for the Santa Fe? I've tried looking around on www.hyundaiusa.com but can not find where you can order trim kits, air deflectors, etc.

Thanks

richardr4 · February 2001

THe way I understand the advertising fee is that it is money that the DEALER gets from Hyundai to cover costs of selling the vehicle. No, it is not nogotialble. The money goes to the dealer to cover advertizing and what have you. The basic costs of doing business.
Having said that they might be willing to cut you a deal IF you buy the vehicle as soon as it arrives on their lot. Why? Because they didn't have to spand any of the money.
Now if the vehicle has been sitting for more than a month or so then the advertising money from Hyundai is all but gone.
You have to make the best bargin you can and this money is not yours to deal with, it's the dealers profit and if he doesn't have to spend it he might be willing to drop the price to you.

You know you can read all this on the Edmund's site anyway.

I know that doesn't help much but that's the way it is. All manufacturers do the same thing it's not brand specific in any way shape or form.

It's important to look at the total deal, not every line item.

Believe you have to order accessories from dealer.

Go to dealer and ask for Accessories catalog. If they don't have fold out brochure for the Santa Fe, check the parts department. They should have a large full color catalog with accessories for all vehicles in the Hyundai line.

wales1 · February 2001

I just called HQ in CA. and they said there is a fee charged by HQ to ALL dealers, this is to cover their National Ad Campaign costs. I am in ad biz, and it isn't cheap folks.
So as far as trying to call HQ and tell them a dealer is charging a fee, they will tell you YES.. there is a fee charged by HQ and the dealer can charge a fee for their ad costs, (ie..newspaper, radio, t.v. ad spots.)
I am hoping to go get my GL on Sat. I am in Kentucky, and there are alot of the SF here. One dealer here has 10 on the lot, in all shape sizes and colors.
** NEWS FLASH ** It has been reported to me by sources that Budweiser is going around the country and buying SF's for use in their fleet vehicle program. Dealer I spoke to said BUD-MAN came in and bought 4 paying $1,000 over invoice. So be on the look-out !The King of Beer is driving the King of SUV'S

wales hunter...I remember this guy... hunter36...
I think it's the same guy.
Here's another challenge(you ignored the first one):
Call HMA tomorrow and ask the question again.
If the rep. tells you that HMA charges dealers ad. fees, get
the person's full name/title and post them here. ok?

tonywms · February 2001

I live in San Antonio also and have been researching several Subs in the ante Fe category. I believed the LX came with a cassette and DC capable stereo, but after visiting all three San Antonio Hyundai dealers and studying the ante Fe brochure, I realize Edmunds mad a mistake. More important is my experience at the dealerships. World Car stated their price on any ante Fe was not negotiable. Sticker price was the best they could do. The salesmen at Mission did not seem interested in selling me a vehicle. I walked around their lot for at least 10 minutes and no one came out to talk to me. This could have something to do with the fact that I was African-American in a military uniform. Bottom line they lost a potential customer. Red McCombs/Superior was by far the best dealership. The salesmen were extremely courteous and helpful and even though I told them I was researching and comparing the ante Fe against the Escape/Tribute and RAV4 and wasn't planning to buy until at least May, they were willing to come down $1000 off sticker price right there. I was very pleased with my test drive of the Sante Fe. I've also test drove the Escape/Tribute. Those 2 vehicles are quicker off the line than the Sante Fe, but don't offer the same accessories and cost considerably more. If I had to buy today the Sante Fe would be my choice. Good luck and happy hunting.

Today's SUV magazine is doing a year-long series on customizing a Santa Fe LX AWD. This magazine doesn't seem to be sold anywhere around here, so subscribing may be the only way to find it.

Let me try to clear up this advertising cost thing. We dealers DO get charged an advertising cost on our invoice. As a matter of fact,we have Chrysler,Buick,GMC,and Hyundai and they all charge advertising fees and as far as I know,all manufacturers do.Look elsewhere on the Edmunds site where you can get the pricing and somewhere it will tell you this.wales1 is right on with what this money is for, but also a portion is used in the dealers local market.IF!!! a dealer is charging a separate advertising cost over and beyond the agreed price of the vehicle,then IMHO, that's gouging the customer and shouldn't be tolerated.The ad. costs are clearly marked on the invoice and varies from vehicle to vehicle and even area to area(cost more to advertise in large cities than small ones).I suppose they could NOT separate it out on the invoice and just raise the price,but anyway you cut it it still costs! And, yes Budweiser did purchase SF's- a dealer in ST.LOUIS sold them 20 or 25 of them- we sold the St.Louis dealer an LX AWD that was earmarked for them! Bob PS. No need to get hatey and post managers names on this board-I just did it myself as I am one. This is my job and has been for over 19 years and I have always tried to live the golden rule and be upfront and honest.

You're a sales manager, right?

blackjacq · February 2001

I want to buy a small SUV but am not sure of what kind to get? I did some research and the Sante Fe has some good features for the money. I just wanted to know if anyone has heard of any problems with the Sante Fe yet. I have a Kia Sephia and have had my fair share of problems with that. Can anyone enlighten me on any problems or facts about the truck?

hung0820 · February 2001

I am looking for the rear spoiler but most of the dealers here in California does not have the spoiler available. Can you please tell me what dealer did you talk to that have the spoiler? Where? Phone? etc... Please help. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

gottifbi · February 2001

Folks, looking for some assistance....I am US Military in Guam (a US Territory).....I'm looking to buy a Santa Fe, even though America's Best Warranty doesn't apply here.....I was told that if I ship a car to the US (I'll be moving to Northern VA in July), that I will have to pay taxes on it if it DOES NOT have 6,000 miles on it. In other words, it would still be considered a new vehicle.....I have an opportunity to buy a GLS 2WD with leather seats for $20K out the door (that includes $350 freight charge from Korea and $142 to register on Guam)....Anyway, can ANYONE tell me if this tax thing is true? If any of you are in Northern VA, do you have any places I can contact to determine what the scoop is....MUCH OBLIGED.....These sites are awesome!!...Rob

richardr4 · February 2001

The best way to tell if you have found a good dealer is to check how long they have been in business.( same owner) Now to make that even easier you ask the service people how long they have worked there. The longer the better. How many of the salesmen have been there for longer than a few years? Once again, the longer the better.
Salesmen/women rank themselves pretty much at about the same level on the food chain as lawyers for the most part. ( one of them told me that) They know how it feels if they are good salemen. They know we consider them bottom feeders and the good one's try to change that interpretation buy working with you and not jamming it up your nose. They aren't going to go for broke but they will honestly work to get you a deal you can live with. That's the sign of a really good dealership. The key is Honesty really.

I've purchased two new Jeeps and one new Eagle from a dealership that the average working time in service is about 11+ years. Now that speaks volumes to me. It means that they are happy working there and to be that happy they must be selling cars to some very satisfied customers. Some of the mechanics have been there over 17 years. Repeat satified customers is my guess.

I just didn't want another Jeep and well, they don't make Eagle's any more no do they? Other than the Talon of course. Buy the Mitsubishi it's the same thing and cheaper too.

Wander around and ask questions, after all, it's your hard earned money and a good dealership will understand that. They should also allow that in my not so humble opinion. I'm lucky, I've found a Hyundai dealer who was willing to let me do just that. Went in again this morning just to say hello and was treated like royality.
Good dealers may be hard to find but they are out there. More than you might think as it's the bad one's we tend to remember right?

Richard.

richardr4 · February 2001

Hi Rob,

First let me say "Thanks for serving" I was in back in the early to late 1960's.

Now as to new all I can tell you is what my dealer told me. I'm in Florida now and no, not "Wrinkle City" either :-) Not far from being there though.

My dealer said that in the State of Florida any vehicle with less than 4,000 miles is considered as new. That means that the salesman of the month, the sales manageer or anyone who gets a car for their own use from the dealership can drive it up to a certain point.Then they swap it out for another. Have to keep the miles down. Most of those can be demos as well.

As I said, that's here in Florida, don't know about other states. 4,000 miles and it's still new 4001 and it's used.

Richard

georgefarmer · February 2001

I find the SUV mag. at Books a Million. They now have a monthly report on upgrading their Santa Fe.

georgefarmer · February 2001

I have a GLS AWD that I love. The dealer said the AWD is full time but the ads say "UP" to 40% of power goes to the rear wheels. What is it on a dry hard road. All FWD or part AWD?

hal2001 · February 2001

My dealer is in Ohio, Voss Hyundai in Centerville.

Thats not the answer though to your quest for a rear spoiler. Again, it is in the Hyundai Santa Fe accessories catalog. It is $85.00.

Your dealer may not stock all the Hyundai accessories but the parts department can order any Hyundai accessory from Hyundai distribution
source.

Suggest you go to any Hyundai dealer, look in the accessories catalog, and have the parts department special order it for you if they do not carry it in stock. The part number is 0022771000 and it is called a "rear deflector".

hal2001 · February 2001

Hi Bob,

I realize you see many messages taking pot shots at dealers and salespeople. Some of it is deserved and some is not. Many time potential buyers go into a dealership with a chip on their shoulder without first giving the dealer an opportunity to prove what type of policies the dealership follows (or attempts to).

As you well know, there are still way to many auto dealerships that haven't awakened to the fact that consumers are better informed than in the past and they can spot BS when they encounter it.

I've purchased many new cars down through the years and am amazed at the number of salespeople who still try the old methods of selling cars. I'm sure it must work for them or they would starve. Shame on the uninformed consumers who become their victims and then bad mouth the entire auto industry for their own stupidity.

Any business today that doesn't understand true customer service beginning at the front door and ending at the service exit door isn't going to be around for long. Part of good customer service is honesty in pricing and good faith negotiations. For every "sucker" they manage to snag, they will lose ten deals to better run and managed dealerships. Any business needs to make a reasonable profit and no one begrudges this. We do begrudge being "scalped" just as you do in your own personal business dealings.

I believe the answer to a lot of this is much better "policing" by the auto manufacturers of their dealerships practices and policies. Enforcement of the manufacturers sales practice guidelines (if they have bothered to formulate any)by pulling franchises from unscrupulous dealers could go a long way in cleaning up the reputation of the industry.

My 2 cents for what its worth.

mikezak · February 2001

I am still looking (or should I say waiting) for the 'love of my life' that is a Nordic White or Sandstone Santa Fe LX with ABS and Traction Control. Although my search and subsequent wait will tax my patience and possibly force me to purchase another vehicle, I wanted to mention that I had the opportunity to call and talk to Bob Cook.

Just wanted to say that I wish Bob and his dealership was here in WI rather than Ohio. In my short 15 minute conversation, Bob was very helpful to me, and shared with me things that other dealer 'friends' have not.

Moral of the story?...either move to Ohio, or search out dealers who are indeed honest or portray some of the values that are shared by Bob and the Tom Ahl dealership. Bob is an example that they DO indeed exist.

bobcook54 · February 2001

Thanks zak for the kind words. It's simply treating people the way that they deserve to be treated; in other words, the golden rule. We all our own expertise in life;this just happens to be mine.Please, come to Ohio to buy a car, but PLEASE,don't everyone move here! I live in Lima,Ohio . The joke is that Lima is an acroynm for Lost In Middle America..... but we like it that way!!!!!

sonatava · February 2001

I know that here in Fairfax County, VA, they assess personal property tax for a new vehicle at MSRP, but the tax has been reduced due to Gov. Gilmore's plan to phase it out for vehicles under $20K (or the first $20K of the price). What you're talking about might be a U.S. Customs or import tax, I really don't know. Either way, the website for Fx County is www.co.fairfax.va.us if you want to see if they know more. Good luck.

dognut1 · February 2001

Dealers-When I went looking for a new s.u.v. I originally went to both a Lexus and MB dealer. The M.B. dealer used the old "If you buy it today the price is...." Goodbye! Driving by the Hyundai dealer and wondered if I should even stop. Surprise...polite, eager to serve and professional. Loved the Santa Fe but not payiing the full price. Called several other dealers and knew from the phone calls that like every other group of salespeople that there were some I would never visit and others who I would. Visited Hyundai dealer #2--again professional, helpful, and the price was just right....fair for me and the dealer. SOLD!

blackjacq-I not only bought one, but a month later was so happy with it I bought another. Both now have over 4,000 miles on them....not a single problem. I am very happy that I considered a Santa Fe after looking at other makes that cost so much more. Check the boards and you will see that a new Santa Fe seems to have far fewer problems than many of the others. No recalls, very few "minor" problems, no major problems and how can you beat the warranty? I don't have a single regret....I love my Santa Fes

!! Let us know what you decide.

blkstar · February 2001

Hey, www.hdkautosport.com just updated their site with a series of grille guards, fender trims, and rear bumper guards for the Santa Fe. It's definitely worth checking out.

shivelyt · February 2001

Just took delivery on my GLS 2WD from Drew Hyundai in LaMesa (SanDiego) CA. They offer the Santa Fe over the net at $1,000 off sticker plus $45 doc fee. In Las Vegas the vulture dealer wanted $2,300 over sticker for some phony additional guarantees. Told them I wanted $500 off sticker to buy locally and they looked at me like I was Saddam Hussein's brother. Anyway, thanks to the chat room (believe his name is George) I arranged the purchase over the net and one phone call, took the bus to San Diego, salesman met me at the station, and we went out to his dealership. Everything was ready since I had wired payment day before. All done in a day including driving back to LAS. Not much help for someone in NY or FL but good for us western buyers. Man to call is Drew Ament at 619/723-3103 or check his inventory at Drew@Drew-Auto.com
They treat you right--even a full gas tank to start.

compez · February 2001

I just purchased a 2001 FWD 5 speed with the utility package. Paid only 17,500. I do have a question though, A few times as I was shifting through the gears the vehicle seemed to almost act like it was skipping or miss-firing,almost trying to stall, between 3-4 gears the truck wasn't under load, and the rpm's were up where they should be. If anyone else has had any similar problems. Please respond

sonofdj · February 2001

First time posting on this site. My wife has been seriously looking at the RAV4. She also has expressed interest in driving the SF. Likes what she has read about it regarding standard equipment, looks and ride. Also, wishes for a better ride than the RAV4. I am a long time Toyota owner who has concerns about the reliability and resale potential of a Hyundia product. Historically it has been poor. My local dealership says it has been turned around in current models. Any input would be appreciated as I am having a difficult time with these issues. Thanks, I have found this to be a well informed site. (ps. bobcook54: how about an e-mail site?)

gtmustang · February 2001

The Santa Fe has more for the money and it is of equal quality as the Rav4, if not better quality. The RAV4 is smaller and it has less power. You can get a fully loaded Santa Fe with a 6 Cylinder, Leather, heated seats in 4WD with antilock brakes for $23500.00. To get this in a RAV4 it would cost a lot more. I don't think that a RAV4 comes with a 6 Cylinder engine like the Santa Fe does.
The Santa Fe will not lose its valur for trade-in. these vehicles are hard to find and hard to get. There is a BIG DEMAND for them. The value will be there when it's time for you to trade it.

parkchester · February 2001

Toyota for your wife. Why bother, get her what she wants. YOU, on the other hand, if YOU don't care what other people think, buy a Hyundai for yourSELF.

If you think the Hyundai is the right choice though, give it to your wife on a "take it or leave it" basis!!

Hyundai equal in quality to the entry level/mid level Japanese cars but their resale will still suck because of people who doubt the marque. You do have the warranty to back you up.

I don't care, the stigma probably saved me $X000 bucks!

gtmustang · February 2001

Look, Hyundai has the best Warranty and the most features and options for the LEAST MONEY. Buy the Santa Fe. It WILL hold its value.
If you want to waste your money then buy the RAV4. You the man!!

losthat1 · February 2001

Both are great! But-RAV is much smaller and does not come close to having the same equipment for the same price. The Santa Fe is much, much roomier. The RAV tire off the back and the back opening to the side were turn offs for me. I love the Santa Fe's back end--easy open or just pop the glass for quick drop ins. I also suspect the additional width of the SF would make it less likely to roll over than the RAV4. The SF is in great demand and I hope the resale will be reasonable. The warranty is so much better than Toyota's I have to believe that will help resale too. Have fun!

richardr4 · February 2001

I'd say go for the Santa Fe as all you need do is check these boards and read the reviews in all the magazines. Nobody has had anything but great things to say or write about this vehicle.
While not SUV of the year material it costs half of what the one that is does and you get almost the same features.

I'm a motorcyle rider, have been for 36 years and the old Harley Davidson dig about trade in value being the best is a bit of a stretch. It's true that they do hold thier value but is that why you buy a bike or a car? I bought mine to drive. I also have owned Harleys and other brands, I ride them till they die or I find something I like more.
You want an image then buy the Lexus, Mercedes or why not go all the way and purchase the Land Rover? That will impress people big time.
Buy the Santa Fe if you want a good solid vehicle for a really decent price.
My bet is that when the time comes to trade in you are going to be surprised at how well the Santa Fe has held up.
But like anything else it also depends a lot on how well you maintain it. Take care of the car, it will take care of you.

Most importantly, buy what you want to buy, it's your choice and you are buying it for you. Not for anyone else correct?
I bought one for my wife and she loves the damn thing. Can't get her out of it to be honest.
Just my opinion and worth what I charge for it. :-)

Richard.

fordjf · February 2001

Am I the only one having trouble locating a Santa Fe. I have been looking for a GLS or LX w/Anti-Lock brakes in Pewter, maybe even White or Merlot, without any success. I have been looking for almost two months. I have checked with my local dealer in Huntsville, AL, submitted requests through Carpoint, AutoBytel, Edmund's Power Shopper, CarSmart, AutoVantage, and others I can't even remember. Is everyone else having this much trouble locating one? Any tips on what else I can do to locate one?

When I try to get another quick quote from HyundaiUSA website, it tell me my first quote must be processed before I can get another.

Thanks,
Jason Ford

lockcity · February 2001

I have also been comparing the SF and the RAV. The SF is larger with more features for the money but the gas milage will be considerably less. The question everyone needs to ask themselves is "what will this vehicle cost me for the time I own it?" Things like trade in value(if you trade in regularly), gas milage, cost of maintance work required to keep the warranty valid, ect. Also keep in mind that the SF will require alot of mandatory maintance for you to use that big warranty if needed. READ THE FINE PRINT OR YOU MAY FIND THE 100,000 MILE WARRANTY USELESS! Of course this goes for ALL new vehicles but Hyundai is very strict about following every single scheduled maintance item(many are dealer only). And lets face it, how many drivers spend the time and money to get EVERY item the book done? As far as the re-sale value goes, like any brand new model, demand is always high at introduction and then falls off in future years. It is highly unlikely that demand will be this high in 2 or 3 years when the first trade-ins start hitting the dealerships. I would say buy the SF if you plan on keeping it for the full length of the warranty. If you like to drive a new car every 3 to 5 years then RAV will be the better buy.

billtung · February 2001

To sonofdj!
2 week ago in my city street (not highway), there was an traffic accident involved a Rav4 & a old light truck (I am not certain what brand name from the newspaper pictures) hit each others. The RAV4 roll-overs so many times before stop & the lady in the Rav4 threw out from the car and killed instantly. The other old light truck driver is just slightly hurt. All local newspapers posted the totally ruined RAV4 pictures on the front page ---- WHAT A FREE ADVERTISING FOR TOYOTA! (BUT NEGATIVE!).

This is a true story happened in Vancouver, Canada. I think the RAV4's light-weight (I saw a lot of young kids they drive this car very fast on city road) is the mainly cause for such a tragic accident.(if Santa Fe I doubt this "tank" will even make one somersault!!!)

The RAV4 crash test overall report is just marginal & acceptable in the past model (not available for 2001)!
http://www.crashtest.com/toyota_truck/ie.htm

If you care about your wife, I suggest u don't buy RAV4. (RAV4 had the strong image "just for kids - kids toy")

U don't have to buy SF, If u are rich enough think about BMW or Benz or even Acura or highlander or .......

My SF dealer they sell both Toyota & Hyundai. Yesterday I went to check the SF assessories I saw a Toyota 'Highlander Limited' parking on the lot, style not very impressive to me (still boxy shape). Sticker price CDN$46K. I walked away instantly.

With this price, I think Acura MDX will love Toyata.

big_guy · February 2001

Car and driver has an intesting article where they test several of the mini-utes head to head. Check it out at www.caranddriver.com. They rate the Sante Fe 6th out of the eleven vehicles tested.

billtung · February 2001

The solution is easy!
Just treat your SF like other expensive car - serviced only by the professional Hyundai's mechanics. Not by those cheap garage mechanics.

My GMC safari's van Brake had been re-pad by a cheap local garage. Suffering noises & vibration for more than a year, until I finally fixed it in GMC dealer. For the high quality car u better let the dealership to service whether to ruin your car in a cheap garage where they always use cheap parts.

richardr4 · February 2001

That's all true enough. But I don't think it's exclusive to Hyundai as you mentioned. JUst treat the car with all the care it requires. It is your life that you are driving in isn't it really?
Dealers make a good chunk of their profit on service. A good dealer will not run you over the coals. They want you to keep coming back.

Try an Eagle Vision Tsi with the big engine. Service is required every three months or 3,000 miles, which ever comes first. I've done that since 1994 and let me tell you it wasn;t cheap but I do have one very nice vehicle today. It might be old but it's in great shape.
I will do the same with the Santa Fe because after the Eagle anything has to be cheaper. Well I don't know about the Hummer H2 but I don't think I'd worry about it too much.

Just my two cents.

hung0820 · February 2001

Anyone know where I can buy the rear spoiler (rear wing) NOT THE REAR DEFLECTOR. The spoiler that I am looking for it should be similar to the Highlander and the RX300. I know I need to paint the Spoiler in order to match my car color. If anyone know please direct me to the site or phone number would help too.

This message is for Bill Tung! I receive my body fender today but they are not fit correctly for my car and I have decided to order the matching body fender that goes with the clading. Please direct me to the site or phone where you bought they body fender similar to your car. Thank you.

billtung · February 2001

Hi hung0820! I don't have anything on my SF except the window deflectors which is availabled in my SF dealer last november. I checked yesterday they also have the genuine wood-dash cover for SF, just remove the old black cover & replace with the wood-dash cover is simple, the wood grain is very nice for CDN$210, BUT they don't come with the pieces for the doors - "I don't know why?????????? they do that! Otherwise I will buy it. I feel it looks funny to install wood-dash without the door pieces.

Anyways, I wrote down a note for them, I want front & rear bush guard, rear spoiler, body fender, stepping bars. They promise will call me once arrive.

For me the step bar & the body fender is the most important things.

The built-in body fender in Mazada's Tribute contribute a lot in its good look.

If my SF with body fender then certainly will be the most beautiful SUV under CDN$30K.

hung0820! pls check
http://hdkautosport.com

I find the on-lines order price is very expensive. (Is USD & plus freight is almost double the price I brought here in canada. I rather wait a few month than paid more expensive.
