I owned one but I bought brand new.
This is the most underrated car here in tsikot in my opinion.

I owned two Hyundai's already, one was 2009 Tucson and this one 2020 Sta. Fe.
Medyo low quality build yung 2009 Tucson.
But build of Sta. Fe is different, it's really premium compare to Tucson.
Yung mga materials at craftmanship ng assembly is superb.
Wala ka talagang ma experience/maobserve na rattling.
Even until now, wala pa akong naobserve na rattle noise sa unit ko.

Superb din yung sound insulation, di mo marinig yung conversation sa labas if nakaclose yung doors.

Tech is also more advanced and even better than Yaris Cross, although ADAS ng Yaris Cross is more advance.
Kulang lang talaga sa ADAS features yung 2019 Sta. Fe PH unit.
The 360 camera quality is even better and clearer.

If 900k current price ng nakita mo, make sure lang na hindi galing sa baha.
Also, there are two variants, the TOTL and the mid variant, yung may handbrake niya is footbrake.
If TOTL tong 900k, then this is a good buy already, but I think baka mid variant to.

Need mo lang ma check if working lahat features.
Features such as auto tailgate, cruise control (not auto), 360 camera, front/back sensor, dual climate AC, Front and Rear AC controls, Speed Sensing auto lock.
My unit's speed sensing auto lock experienced failure 1 yr ago but since under warranty pa, ni replace naman ng CASA. at OK na ngayon.
Yung automatic lumbar support din is di gumana when CASA fixed the speed sensing auto lock.
Need mo lang talaga ma report sa kanila, kasi most SA's hindi nila alam tong mga features ng Sta. Fe natin unless ma demo natin sa kanila.

Other than that, I didn't experience engine failure or underchassis failure yet.
Aircon is also OK naman, wala pang issue.
I know kahinaan talaga ng Hyundai tong AC issue based on feedback sa 2016 -2019 Tucson units.
But I didn't experience that in my Santa Fe.

Medyo minor lang pala na rattle noise, when magpa sound ako ng heavy bass music.
Parang yung switch ng side mirror control are medyo maluwag.
So akala mo talaga may issue yung speaker, pero yung switch pala ang tumunog.
Pero sa heavy bass lang naman ma experience, normal sound is OK.
Medyo maganda speaker ng sound system ng Sta. Fe.
