Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

[nels76]

Guys,

Ung freebies sa Sta Fe ko are Tint and Floor mat lang but we also got a discount naman sa unit.

Ung tint hindi pa 3M and the agent said we have to add P3700 para maging 3M.

Di ba harang to?

We were supposed to get our unit this week pero inunahan kami ng isang customer sabi ng bank. Pero sabi naman may parating na shipment next week so naka-reserve na sa amin ung Sup Red na parating.

Ung may mga Sta Fe jan which you acquired after July 1 (start of the 5 yr warranty), ano mga naging freebies niyo?

[oldblue]

harang nga yan. 3m tint din sakin pero freebie

[oldblue]

to those na naka 4x4 SF... you have the audio controls on the left side of the steering wheel, are there also controls on the right side? if yes, what are they for?

kasi when I saw the interior pics of the SF on the second page of this forum I saw there were controls on the right side of the steering wheel.

titanium na naman

Always remember not to sign anything until you get what you want fromthe Dealer. Get the offer summary from them then post it here for us to give advise on. Play the dealer against each other. It doesnt matter if you are near or far from your dealer, anyway you can get maintenance service from anyone of them.

Remember your the BOSS, ikaw masusunod. hehe

I have a 4x4 CRDI, steeriing wheel controls are still the same ie audio on the left side of the wheel. The right side controls are Cruise Control buttons available only on US and European version f the SF. Not sure if you could order this thru HARI/Dealer. But it would be nice if you have cruize control sa NLEX....

since i decided yesterday to get the SF I saw no less than 5 SF on the road since yesterday. And then today since I decided on the blue titanium on the way home this evening I saw 2 Blue Titanium SF magkatabi pa...

[Horsepower]

hehehe, kaya nga we're suggesting you to get another color, dami na natin sa daan e. hehe

[nels76]

IGLOCk and Washburn,

Thanls for the replies.
I already asked my bank to negotiate with the dealer the free 3M Tint. Sabi ko kasi sa ibang dealer 3M tint ang kinakabit.

Anghirap din pala pag bangko kausap when buying a car kasi the bank are quite limited when choosing a dealer. Usually ung dealer na pinipili nila are those na kanilang business partner. Pag di nila partner, iba daw ang offer.

That is unusual. I drive from Commonwealth to Makati (Thru Edsa or Libis/C5) daily and I only see maximum of 2 SF on the road. I prefer konti lang to make our rides unique.

hehe halos ganun din ako a, hehe nung wala pang plate dami ko nakitang
gun metal, pero ngayon halos bihira nalang ako makakita ng SF hehe di ko alam kung bakit

[O!lman]

Sa SM southmall, may nakita akong gold color 1st Gen SF. Mukhang Tucson na pinalaki!
Minsan lang akong makakita ng SF sa lugar namin. Pero kung sinuswerte, average of 2 SF a day.Kahit pala wala nang discount ngayon ay madami pa rin nabili ng SF.
Congrats to all new SF owners!

I guess we won't be enjoying the exclusivity of having an SF for long dahil talagang dumadami na. Sa village lang namin tatlo na kaming naka SF, puro bago at buti na lang magkakaiba ng kulay. Last Saturday when I went out I saw 3 SF's along Dona Soledad in Betterliving in the morning. On my way home, I saw 2 SF's again along teh same road. I always look at the plate nos. to make sure I'm not seeing the same SF's. The following day, Sunday, I saw another 2 SF's nung nagsimba kami. I don't think coincidence lang yun, I believe talagang popular na ang SF and pretty soon, magiging common sight na ito sa kalye like the fort. And this maybe the reason why lately mahirap na makakuha ng magandang discount and freebies. Just my opinion.

Meron talagang 1st gen SF na nilabas dito pero di lahat ng dealers nagcarry nito. Sa Hyundai E.Rod meron nito dati nung bago pa lumabas ang Tucson pero hindi ito nag click kaya very rare na makakita ka nito sa kalye. Medyo hawig talaga sya sa Tucson, akala ko nga nung lumabas ang Tucson, ito na ang papalit sa 1st gen SF.

Sir nels26,

I got mine 3M tint at Hyundai Commonwealth. At first gusto nila platinum but i insist on 3M. Hayun pumayag n rin. And ifever po 3M take BC rather than RE ksi mas makapal po ang BC. Also po try nyo po palagay ng FULL ksi nun una sa akin gus20 nila may hati. Eh ako naman makulit sabi ko FULL. They call up 3M person para ikabit lng ang tint ko.

Guys its ok b pa rust proof ang bago Santa Fe. I'm planning ksi parustproof ang santa fe ko s zielbart s may pasig. Yun friend ko kasabay ko bumili ng SF sabay there is no need n daw. Ok lng po ang rustproof ng zielbart and also which outlet of zielbart should i go. THANKS po.

actually i am looking at getting my SF rust proofed at zeibart when i get it. if Hyundai will cover rust as part of their warranty then maybe you can opt not to get it rust proofed. for me its for peace of mind, i intend to keep my SF for a long time and spending for full lifetime rust proof from zeibart is worth it. i usually go to their branch along c5/pasig.

Had mine installed at Stage1 along araneta avenue, but also available at BigBerts. Brand is VTX performance, cost 10k but with 2 years warranty, Color temp available are from 3000k to 12000k. 3000k-6000k is I think the best to use for more candle power. Hope this helps.

where exactly is it along araneta? which side and what is the landmark? also, do you have their number?

[Akims]

Thanks sir dragonheart. Perhaps w/in the week i'l try to visit ziebart. As anyone who got their santa fe rust proof pls share some info naman. Kasi iniisip ko n which is better ifever n parust proof ko yun SF drill a hole or pabaklas ko yun side panel?
