Hi entropy, great choice of suv, congratulations!! Hyundai has also recently launched the AT version, several additional features like start stop etc, its priced upwards by a 1.25l, over the manual.

Entropy ! Congrats for the choice. Thanks to You and BHPians. Going through various posts I too have gone for and booked Santa Fe MT 4 WD. My thanks to BHP Team and Wildon for useful inputs. Sure will share the experience once i get the Sleek Silver.

Please close this thread as I've got my white 4x4 MT Santa Fe delivered about a month back and quite happy with it. Clocked 2500 kms until now at about 9.4 kmpl. Will post a review as and when time permits.

Thanks.

Hi entropy, I want to know about your experience with the Santa Fe and whether you recommend buying a 2012 used (not abused) Santa Fe 4 x 2 MT for circa 15 lakhs.

2012 Santa Fe for 15 lakhs doesn't sound right at all. Thats a mouth watering deal. Why is the seller selling at such a low price? Do check the vehicle properly before signing the paper.

Thanks drmohitg for your response. I haven't decided on it yet but wanted to know whether a used Santa Fe should be considered.. I like the car and the engine. I have been told that the clutch and break pads tend to get worn out quickly (50k kms) but overall it's a very good n reliable 7 seater SUV. What's your view?

Finally, I have bought a used Santa Fe 4 x 2 white, November 2013 made only for 19 laks. It was only driven for 1700 kms and without a single scratch.. The vehicle hasn't even had its first service done.. It has a premium feel and a great ride. It starts to get comfortable after the 3 rd and has good acceleration after 1800 rpm.,
I m now waiting to take it for a long drive..

Hey that's a great car you got and at a very mouth watering price. I am still confused how did you manage to get it for that price. What Is the OTR price of the car in the invoice. Wishing you many happy miles with it.

I found it using Quickr. This gentlemen has 5-6 cars in his stable and this one was bought for his father who sadly passed away this feb. He didn't need this car and I was right there at the right time. The IDV of the car is 21 Lakhs :-)

19L is probably the right price but not a great bargain. 2WD, MT should have been around 23-24 L when it was bought as new. Of course now it is no more on sale as this has been replaced with a new model.

Thats a steal man. Having to pay less than IDV is signs of a really good deal. Looking forward to an ownership review of the same.
