Pretty crazy.
You could be driving a brand new Sante Fe for $350 a month tax in. My brother saw it and is at the dealer now getting his.
How many years is that for? I cringe when people get financing for periods like 84 months for a car. 7 years is a long time to be paying for a car.

Not when the interest rate is 0. You can pay me $1000 now or $100 per year for 10 years. Which would you choose?

How does that make any sense? Its free money, take it. I cringe at people who pay up front for a car when companies are offering such low interest rates. Hell, at 2.9% your still ahead by a bit.
Put it this way:
30k sitting in the bank for 7 years at a craptastic 2% interest. (you can get more with term deposits but lets take worst case scenario here) would give you about $34500. Or if you put it in ING 3.5% 5 year GIC, and then another 2 years at 2.4%, you're lookin at 37500. That's like getting a 20% discount to use their money!!!!!!
So even if i sell the car after 2 years, i'll keep making payments throughout the 7 years. Doesn't make sense to pay it off if someone is giving you a free loan.

My 2001 Hyundai Elantra went 140,000 kms before I traded it in on a new Sorento and only spent about 2k tops on tires and repairs over the 9-10 yearsTrifid wrote: ↑My 2002 Hyundai Sonata was by far the worst car I have EVER owned (and I've owned Fords in the 1980's).
There were/are no after market parts; Brake Rotors were $160 each, paper thin, and couldn't be machined even once. By comparison, at the time Impala Rotors cost $120 and could be machined 3-4 times. Same went for every other part - the best being the O2 sensor that was not in stock in North America and took 6 weeks to come from oversea's...![]()
Hyundai's are cheap out the door, but kill you on parts and repairs over the life of the vehicle (which I would say is no more than 5 years).
I had it.
Started up every day and never quit on me.
Not a silk purse, closer to a pig's ear, but easily paid for itself over it's lifetime.

Get a tuneup.
I've got a V6 AWD 2007, and I get routinely 650-700 per tank.

If you want to drive an SUV, the value that the Santa Fe provides is hard to beat.
It's very reliable, we've had no major issues to speak of with it, and it was well within our budget.
Yes, there are better SUVs, but at this price point, no one can come close to Hyundai right now.

The loan is undoubtedly secured by the car so you can't sell the car and leave the loan outstanding.
And guess what happens when you go to sell the car when you have a long term? It is worth a lot less than you have left to pay on the loan, so you have to come up with additional cash to sell your car! It may feel great paying $350 a month to drive a new car now, tell me how it feels to be paying the same $350/month when the car is 7 years old.
I understand the math of interest rates, but there is more involved than that including loan to value and human nature.

Consumer Reports just came out rating the Hyundai Elantra as the #1 small sedan above Nissan Sentra, Subaru Impreza, Toyota Corrolla , Mazda 3, Kia Forte (all those cars still get their recommended check-mark).
Predicted reliability was Very Good.
In their annual car issue they also rated
Sonata as the #2 Sedan - Family entry level behind Nissan Altima
Sonata Limited as the #3 Sedan - Family behind Altima and Accord (above Legacy, Camry Fusion)
Genesis as the #1 Sedan Upscale ahead of Lexus ES, Avalon, Acura TL, Maxima
Santa Fee was #4 midsized SUV behind Highlander hybrid, Kia Sorento, Highlander V6
Thats not all of them, but it is an impressive showing.
