The Santa Fe is an inexpensive, compact sportutility with a tall seating position and generous cargo capacity. Its curvaceous body looks friendly yet ready for the outdoors. Already an attractive choice in the compact sportutility field, the Hyundai Santa Fe is made even more appealing for 2004 by a new and more powerful 3.5liter V6 engine. The Santa Fe drives well on and off paved roads with decent handling and good brakes. The V6 engines, both the new 3.5liter and the 2.7liter, deliver good acceleration, particularly in frontwheeldrive models. The fourwheeldrive system available with the 2.7liter engine works well for light offroad duty. A new electronically controlled allwheeldrive system available with the 3.5liter engine promises better fuel economy. Sideimpact air bags are standard, and GLS and LX versions come with a 218watt Monsoon stereo. Best of all, the Santa Fe is backed by Hyundai's long and comprehensive warranty, making it one of the most attractive small SUV's on the market. They say you get what you pay for, but with the Hyundai Santa Fe it seems like you get a little more.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe for less money than when it was new. If the 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe will have a very good resale value. This assumes that the 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
