Q: What do you think of the new 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe?
Anyone who owns one or knows about them. Might buy one.

A: Check if you need SUV or 4 X 4 (not all SUV are 4 X4) Where I live, China-made SUV (not 4 X 4) are generally cheaper than Korean-made SUV, if you do not need 4 X 4 However, Japanese-made SUV, 4 X 4, may be more fuel-economical for high mileage Owners Do compare all models available that suits your vicinity/usage to decide

Q: Is this a good deal for a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe SE?
This is what they are giving us 24150 - 2500 (mfg rebate) - 750 (loyalty rebate) = 20,900 We have a trade in valued at $6000 - but payoff is 7780 Calculation for total loan - 20900 - 6000 (trade-in) + 7780 = 22680 Is this right or a good deal? Thanks!

A: I agree with the 1st post, you can do much better. You have only lowered the MSRP by using rebates that are paid to the dealer anyway, where's your negotiation to lower the price? I agree that you should be able to get a minimum of $1000 and maybe even $2000 additional price decrease. You should also check nada.com and kbb.com to see if you are getting a fair value on your trade in. If you want to save even more money you could look for a 2007 Santa Fe with 20,000 miles on it and probably save another $5000-$7000.

Q: Keys for Santa Fe 2008 lost?
I'm inquiring about a couple things related to 1 question. We lost the 2 keys that we were given when we purchased the New Santa Fe 2008 and to my knowledge I don't think that those keys were any type of special ones as with my Nissan car the master immobilizer key had a small blue chip in the side of it and the Hyundai keys were just plain looking keys. Was this vehicle suppose to be supplied with such a key and what did it look like? My question is what to do if both sets of keys are lost what does one do to get a new key cut and WORKING as the dealer said he needs the master key and the vehicle yet we have know way to drive it there or give them any key? Thanks for your help it's much appreciated as I've been reading manuals and searching with no luck, Thanks BBXO

A: The keys to your Santa Fe are not coded with a chip of any kind. They are simply keys with a plastic head. The remote keyless entry is the theft deterrent in most Hyundais. You should have received a key code with your keys when you bought the car. It's on a black plastic tag and was hopefully attached to your spare key when you received the books/extra keys, etc. If not, call your dealer with your VIN #, he is able to give you the key code and may be able to cut the key if they have a key-cutting machine. If he said he needed a master key, ask to speak to the manager. If you get the key code, you can go to most any locksmith and they can cut the key from the code. If you lost the remotes, you may have to get the vehicle to the dealer to have a new one programmed to the vehicle.

Q: Dealer wants too much money. What should I do?
I found a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe SE AWD. These are probably going for around $23,000 in the states brand new. I live in the US Virgin Islands. This one is being sold as new, but it's black and has many scratches (looks like it blazed a trail through the rain forest) and scuffs, even a sizable ding. Inside it has a huge gouge in the rear door panel, some scratches on the fake wood trim, and has 2300 miles on it. They want $29,000 for it and don't want to haggle. I like the car, but I'm not comfortable paying that much. It costs a dealership about $1500 to ship a car from PR to here, so why are they always charging people $6000-$9000 more? It's a huge racket and a rip off. What would you do? It's the only 7 passenger SUV I can find for anywhere near that price and we need the room. My wife won't touch a minivan. They want $40,000 for the Traverse.

A: Actually, a Santa Fe SE AWD with 3rd row would list new for about 27k in the states. (depending on options) Invoice on it is about $25700. YOU HAVE TO HAGGLE. Offer them 26k because of the damage, or REQUIRE that they fix it and offer them 27500. If you can post exactly what options it has, I can get you exact pricing and invoice amount.
