Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

[TFR]

Mukhang kilala ko may-ari nito ah!

Superior red pala nakuha mo, dalhin mo na sa site yan ng makilatis ng husto.

Sana itinabi mo na yun yellow na cbr para kitang-kita yun contrast ng colors.

OT: Mukhang kilala rin kita ah! Post mo rin, picture nung outlander mo! Bakit napadaan ka dito?

Hyundai Owners,

Im not sure if this has been mentioned here before. Come July 1, 5 years na Warranty ng Hyundai Cars. The catch is Dealers will significantly reduce the discount though no details are disclosed as to how much.

Assuming 10K is the discount they will offer come July 1, would you opt to buy a Hyundai car prior to July 1 and enjoy a 40K discount, 3 year warranty or get the 5 year warranty offer instead.

Comments are very much appreciated! Thanks.

syempre discount.

[safala]

syempre discount.

Iwas offered last February by Fort that for an additional 40K+, I would be getting a 5 year warranty. But doing some math and some analysis, I came up that 40k+ is too much for an additional 2 years. Prior to my SF, I had a Starex for aound 7 years. In the first 5 years, the parts that i have replaced are idler arm bearing, different oil seals, power window motor, timing belt, radiator fan, battery, suspension bushing, power steering hose, and some other small items I can't remember. I believe all the parts I mentioned are part of warranty and would not cost me 40K. On the 5th to 7 year, came the big items like alternator, AC compressor, evaporator and steering pump. With the new SF, I believe that it is a better quality SUV than the 99 model starex. So for me, I would go for 40K discount now.

Nice naman. :D

Hyundai is very much confident of their product's quality so 5 years warranty is very much welcome. Nawala man yong 40T discount but the assurance of a high quality car will always bring peace to my mind. Na bo-boost pa ang pride/moral ko for owning such a kind of car. Looks like Hyundai is really getting better.

Hi Guys,

Spoilers for the Santa Fe are available now at Hyundai Erod. 10K (not sure if this includes painting) and seems to look good. Have anyone availed of this upgrade before?

BTW, I am a newbie here. I hope to join in your discussions from time to time. And yes, this thread is really very informative. It helps soon to be first time Hyundai owners like me to be confident about their products particularly the Santa Fe. Nice to know there are a lot of satisfied users here despite the fact that there are a few Santa Fes (relative to Fortuner) out there.

Again thanks in advance!

Personnally, I for the discount. Im getting my SF tomorrow and I have chosen to avail the 40K discount over the 5yr warranty (no discount daw by July 1). I dont think a lot could happen in two years (yr 4 & 5) that would translate to 40K repair cost. Keeping my fingers crossed Im right!

Yes, all Hyindai cars are covered by this 5 Yr Warranty policy.

Assumming what the dealers are saying is true that there will be no more discount after June 30, future buyers will have no choice and instead enjoy the benefits of the 5 yr warranty. Good for them! I hope (but doubt) the other brands will follow...

In the US the Sta Fe. is entitled to the ff. warranties:

1.) 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain protection.

2.) 5-year/60,000-mile bumper to bumper coverage

3.) 7-year/unlimited miles anit-perforation warranty

4.) 5-year/unlimited miles 24-hour roadside assistance

all the dealers i talked to confirmed the instructions of HARI that in exchange of the 40t cash discount, they will give an extended warranty of 5 yrs. i hope they will give the buyers a choice between the cash discount and the extended warranty. i would not choose the extended warranty because i agree that the 2 years extension would not be commensurate tot he extra 30t discount prior to july 1. HARI should maintain the cash discount if they decided to extend the warranty.

i will be getting my sta fe 2nd week of july and i would appreciate your tips on the best deals starting july 1. pls pm me the details of your deal and the dealer. i know there are different offers by different dealers cause i've talked to 5 dealers already. hope to get a fair deal when i finally get my sta fe. thanks

Dealers that I talked to share the same explanation that the discontinuance of the discount and the introduction of the new 5yr Warranty is to address excessive competition and price cutting among the dealers. Strict monitoring daw by HARI will be in place to ensure this will be followed.

I doubt this. I know price cuts and discounts will still be offered by aggressive dealers. So -- keep on shopping for the best price. I guess having a lot of dealers/service centers translate to better quality service, competitive pricing, and of course proximity of these centers to us Hyundai owners. Imagine, a Hyundai service center in almost all the majoir cities. Its a great time to own an Hyundai!

(PS -- Im not a Hyundai salesperson... just a very new Hyundai owner)

Got my SF today. So far so good. Tried it on the Skyway and the ride was good. BTW, be ready for the oohs and aahhs of your family when they see it. Maganda daw sabi ng wife and in-laws. And the kids? I actually intentionally left the plastic covers on the seats for my very young kids to tear off when I got home. Pogi points yung Daddy for choosing a car thats really meant for them...
