Just bought a new 2020 Red Hyundai Santa Fe. Had to unfreeze my credit with Equifax for a $10k loan that I will pay off in 91 days. It gave me a $1.5k savings to do that so I figure after any small amount of interest during that time I will be at least $1k ahead of the game. I also plan to charge the payments on my CC if possible. That should get me a lot of points for an airplane ticket somewhere.
The deal was good and I would have needed about $3k or more to correct the issues on my trade-in that was at most a $7k trade value.
Now I don't have to worry about repairs, new brakes, etc. for quite a while. The drive train is good for life. I tend to keep my cars a long time and only drive about 7 - 10k miles a year. I hope they are still in business when it comes time for a new engine or transmission.
For now it is all I can do to just drive the car without being distracted with all the electronic gizmos. Sensory overload to a person that has deficient technology genes.
Seems to be a nice car.
Cheers!
