The delivery was pretty crappy though - they had to do a pickup about 50 miles away, and I gave them about 6 hours to prep the car. When I got there the e-brake had mud on it, and the seats had grease stains. I was not happy with that and went off on the salesman/manager. There were also some scratches on the door sills, and a screw was missing from the footrest under the e-brake. I'm not sure how much of that is from the factory and how much was from the dealer. They eventually got it cleaned to my specs, and ordered 3 new door sills (the rear VC brushed aluminum plates and driver's side plastic sill). The manager apologized, and he'll give me a tank of gas when I go back to get the sills replaced, and my first service will be free as well. I was happy with that.
The vehicle itself is OK - we wanted something better on gas than our Tahoe, and this certainly is. However, I'm a little unhappy in a few areas. First, the 3500 lb tow rating is limited to only 2 pax in the vehicle, which stinks. Next, the DVD player is really far back, so when you're watching a movie it's right up in your face (my kids have to crane their necks to see it). Also,
the memory settings don't apply to the pedals/radio presets. The front seats are comfortable, but the arm rests seem too far away to rest your elbows comfortably on long rides. Lastly, there's no way to customize the vehicle via a computer interface (set door locking/light settings, etc).
Despite missing a screw, the quality is very good - the interior is 100x better than our Tahoe. Handles well too.

Also notice in addition to changes posted above, Bluetooth is stated to be available across the trims.
I'm happy with the cost. As for the 08s, there will always be something better/cooler that comes out - since the 07s took so long to come out, I wouldn't expect the 08s to hit dealers until Dec or so. Even then, based on the reviews it's getting, I think the VC is going to pick up momentum, and there will soon be little to no incentives on this vehicle. I'm pretty well convinced that they'll just get more expensive (especially with NAV, more options, etc).
My local dealer is saying December, but he did not really apper to be stating fact, more trying to keep me in the buying mode now.
Your information and opinions would be appreciated.

:confuse:
Those are only dealers' asking prices. If you want a good deal, go in to one of them and make an offer to buy at some amount LESS than your maximum desired buy price. If they agree to it and sell you the car, THEN you have a deal.
Whether it's good or not is up to you.
Thanks
A few benefits for us - 7 passengers fit (all should be comfortable) I am 5'5 and fit fine in the 3rd row. The 2nd row seats are easy to adjust while you are in the seat (the handles on other models are on the top outer corner of the seat and makes adjusting it very difficult). 2nd row seats recline and slide easily to allow access to 3rd row. DVD is nice...headsets are very comfortable.
Drive this car at night to truly enjoy the lighting of the cabin/exterior. The lighting is outrageous. Approach the vehicle and the sideview mirrors have a light to help visualize the area around the vehicle. Interior lighting is blue..cupholders even have the blue light. The dash is lovely and doesn't create any glare. Ride is nice. Noise is minimal. Adjustable pedals and steering wheel are nice features. The airbag turns off if the passenger is too small (we just tested it with my 10 and 12 yr olds). When my 10 yr old sits up front(or seat is empty) there is an indicator light "passenger airbag off"...when my 12 yr old sits there the light is off. I don't think I will let my 10 yr old ride there until I do a little more research on the safety. Several rear a/c vents. Here in HOT SW TEXAS this is a plus...and 2nd row passengers can control the air. Also, dual a/c controls help my husband stay comfortable while I keep icicles on my side...
We have TOYOTA, DODGE, GM, PONTIAC, FORD, NISSAN, MERCURY dealers in our town. We looked at the MURANO- no 3rd row seats (better interest rates)only 2 small vents on the door frame. Not enough for vehicle w/ this size interior area. Ford Edge has super cheap fabric closure for the sunroof allowing MORE road noise in the cabin.
Because of the safety features offered we saved $11 a month on our AUTO INSURANCE! Not often that happens. We were told it is because of the safety features as well as the anti-theft options. :shades:
Thanx,

Aftermarket Leather Seats priced from $579 to $999
http://www.leatherseats.com/section.asp?sid=1
No resale/trade-in value. Checkout used car prices using KBB (or other sites). For a 3-year old car, adding leather increases the trade-in value merely by a few hundred dollars, if that.
heated front seats (probably not a big deal is SoCal)
power passenger seat
Dual climate climate (the biggest reason I selected the Limited over the SE
Upgraded stereo
sunroof
Backup warning system
Cosmetic stuff like chrome accents and special door scuff plates
In my opinion, the Limited is worth the extra money. Good luck with your purchase.
What was the MSRP of the vehicle and what did you end up paying? If you can email the salesperson I would appreciate it. JamesKimDDS@msn.com
Good Luck and let me know how it goes.

We got our LIMITED w/ ULTIMATE package for 31,845....which I think was a great price...we got mats - crossrails for the roof siderails - VIN etching (whatever that is) - and door edge protectors.
One reason we decided on the ULTIMATE package was because of the power telecopic steering wheel and ADJUSTABLE pedals. I didn't know how much I would like these features....
Good luck buying.....

Good LUCK!

RED MCCOMBS HYUNDA NORTH CENTRAL - SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS
We had a fantastic experience and did our dealings via internet and phone (only towards the end)....they faxed a deal...we drove up...in and out of the lot in less than 3 hours. Kenneth was great.....We couldn't get any type of respect at our local dealer...

Have a beautiful weekend.

out of my reach. I want to wait for either the '08's to arrive to compare the prices, and/or wait for some rebates similiar to the sante fe.
Well a week after that I ran into another salesman at a local event the same dealer was sponsoring and I was asking about the Veracruz and I gave him my number. Thursday night later he leaves a message on my machine and says the one that I drove (Satin Beige LTD) had a 1000.00 rebate and the "BOTTOM LINE" was 30,990.00 !! I don't know if it's before or after the 1000.00, but I figure that's quite a drop from MSRP and INVOICE. Does this sound right? If so, any ideas what the total would be with TTL, etc? I just got the message and haven't called back yet. Any answers would be appreciated. THANKS
Price: $30,990
Please let us know if this price was using the Balloon Financing or not? If no balloon note required, then GO FOR IT!!
This price is right on the money with what others are paying.
See post Post 161 and Post 171
Good luck!
Veracruz Limited MSRP $36,090
Price with Balloon Note: $30,995
Price without Balloon Note: $32,995
Dealer Fine Print:
The extra $2k is also true for the 2007 Santa Fe. Since this is through HFMC, it is a National offer.

Such as below invoice pricing before you apply any incentives for factory marketing assistance?
What is the dead cost of a Veracruz? (Invoice (no dealer add-ons)- hold back and dealer prep = dead cost)
Who is backing the extended warranty programs? What are the real costs of these programs?
Thanks
I'm planning to buy Limited w/Ultimate pkg & black/saddle leather veracruz. I highly appreciate any buying experience and feedback in and around Bay Area, CA.
MSRP is 38020 and Price is 35985
This quote include all factory and dealer discounts, destination and delivery, and your consumer rebate.
Is this quote reasonable/Decent ?
The dealer is Stevens Creek Hyundai.
TIA,
