On the Road Again

Here it is.  This is our 2008 Hyundai SantaFe CM Elite!  It is a  "Flagship model with seven seats, ally wheels, side steps, full leather interior, roof rails, sunroof and roof mounted dvd player." These pictures are of the actual vehicle that we bought. *Edit*I forgot to mention it only has 40,000KM"s. We got it for $28,500 and believe it or not we got a smokin deal.  We bought it at the Alfa Romeo dealership.  Not only that our salesmans name is James Bond.  True Story!
Most people don't look for Hyundai's at this type of dealership.  I'm sure they wanted to get it off the lot. The owner also has the Lamborghini/Porshe dealership next door I found it on-line and we didn't get over to that dealer until after 8, by the time we put in the offer it was after closing and they just wanted to go home.  It was originally listed at $34,990 and reduced to $29,990 on the weekend.  We drove right by this dealership on Saturday and of course didn't even consider going in.  We still have to pay stamp duty on the car which will be around $1000.  The government sends a bill to us directly.  It is just such a relief to have found a vehicle, not only that but it is also the nicest car we have ever owned. Also it was one of the cheapest options we had and certainly the best value for money with what is available on the market here. Now we can return our car rental and stop burning up that money in the fireplace.



 Believe it or not this vehicle has three rows of seats.  The back row has two seats and is very comfortable, the middle row has three seats and is still pretty roomy, each row has air conditioning which is a huge bonus.  The other types of vehicles we looked at only had air in the front.  Not an option after our 37degree day!  The only problem is the leather seats. Ouch.  I will be looking for seat covers tomorrow!  We pick it up on Friday!
