Used Hyundai SANTA FE for sale near Brentwood, TN under $30,000

I hesitated to write this but the dealer asked me to review them, so here goes. I went there to possibly trade my current car for a newer one. My wife drives a Mercedes, a car I love to drive, and I used to own one as well for my own personal car. The cars are high quality, very nicely appointed, and not as expensive as you might think. Bottom line, I like Mercedes vehicles. My sales person was Autumn and she is outstanding, making for maybe the best car buying experience ever for me. Josh, her sales manager is also very good. So we made a deal on a car I wanted and I then headed to the dreaded finance manager whose job is to get financing done at terms favorable to the dealer (not you) and pressure you into buying high priced/high profit margin things you don?t need or want like Extended Warranties, paint coatings, etc. First, the sales manager told me my interest rate was one number, then the finance manager raised it half a point, hoping I wouldn?t notice. Second, I was offered a two year extended warranty that started when the mfr warranty ends next year. It was a little expensive but getting three years of mfr warranty on a used car at a reasonable price sounded like a good idea. So, I bought the extra warranty, 2 yrs extra after mfr warranty ended?or so I thought. I later discovered the car included the one year remaining on the original warranty and one more year because it was a Certified Used Mercedes, basically getting 2 yrs included for free. What I was sold was ?one yr left on original warranty? and two extra years for $2000. What I really got was two years already included with the car, and one extra year at a high price?a total misrepresentation of the offered terms. I am over 70 yrs old and have bought many new and used cars over the years, and I know the Finance Manager position is almost always the one high pressure, sort of shady part of an otherwise high integrity auto sales operation. It?s no different here. But with that said, they do sell great cars and have top notch sales people. My advice when it comes to signing the contracts and finalizing the financing is to do those two things only with the finance manager, then get the heck out of there.

I have owned or leased about 12 new Hyundais and about 40 new cars in my lifetime. As I am getting on in years and don’t drive that much I think this will be the last car I will own. That said, I am more satisfied with this car than I have ever owned. The only thing that I am not happy with is the push button transmission. I much prefer the conventional shift lever. If something should happen to this car, I would replace it with another exactly like this one. A niggling point is the placement of the charging pad. It is easy to lose something down there but can be retrieved with a shop vac. No big deal.

Kylie was helping me with buying a Mazda, great communications, attention to detail, very knowledgeable on getting the deal done, strong care to customer, and she was making sure each steps are taking care of with excellent followups make it a great experience ! Highly recommended Kylie and is one of the best to buy a car with, 10/10 star !!

We are in our 70's and wanted a car that had blind spot protection with great window visability, a good sized GPS map, keyless entry, and good fuel economy. Also, it has good space in trunk with fold down rear seats. At 51,000 miles we have had no issues.

Cindy Dunning and her staff are professional, and proficient. The level of customer service is second to none. I would recommend her and her staff to all of my friends and family.

I've owned about 20 new vehicles and sold cars for 22 years, did a ton on research and ended up with the Caligraphy, it gives you so many features I wanted for a reasonable price. The engine is great and has plenty of power, great stereo, great highway cruiser as well. I have 32k miles, Hyundai has covered all my maintenance, and no warranty claims so far. Great Value! I have normally owned Toyota and Honda but wanted some features they either didn't have or I would have had to go to Lexus or Acura and pay way more for what I wanted.

I bought our Palisade from Murfreesboro Hyundai and it was a great experience. Everybody was knowledgeable and patient enough to answer all of our questions. They made it really easy. I prefer the no hassle, no haggle approach. I don’t have time in my life to make buying a car a part-time job. Thanks to everybody For the fast, friendly experience.

We’ve put 85,000 miles on our Santa Fe, including a trip from Maryland to Idaho and Utah, and have consistently been happy happy with it. It’s needed no work/repairs, other than routine maintenance.

I got the pleasure of buying a car from Mickey Dolan! The service was great, I test drove multiple vehicles, found the best one, got the best possible price (checked multiple places), and just had a great overall experience. I have now had the car for a couple weeks and have found nothing wrong with it whatsoever.

My 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe ultimate is been awesome. I love it . I’m the second owner regular maintenance no problems at all. Happy owner.

We first went to another Carmax, told salesman what we wanted and he Then tried to sale us something else. We then came to Rivergate Carmax told them what we were looking for and the ynpointed to a part of the lot and said salesman will be the shortly. No pressure in and out within 90 minutes with new van. No money down. Will definitely come back when get ready to buy again.

I have a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.5 turbo. I have driven this vehicle for 22500 miles with absolutely no problems rides great and gets 30 plus miles per gallon highway

My salesperson was Brady, and just like his name he lived it up to be the goat just like Tom Brady. Such a pleasure to work with and he helped me get just what I wanted at the price I needed it to be at. I would highly recommend his service.

This is my First time ever buying a Hyundai I sold a Acura RDX and purchased the Hyundai Santa Fe. I have no complaints. My Acura had everything in it and so do my Santa Fe. The difference is my Santa Fe is very comfortable and I really love it. As of now I have no complaints.

Awesome customer service and was quick with their response to questions I had about the car and the whole process of purchasing the car and the home delivery option.

Great SUV ! Worth the price! Very comfortable and smooth riding with excellent fuel mileage on the front wheel drive model ! Will look forward to buying another one !

I just bought a 2026 Sportage Hybrid SX Prestige from KIA in rivergate. They are always very professional and make the process quick and easy. This is the 6th KIA we’ve bought. We’ve had a Cadenza, Sorento, K5, 2 Tellurides, and now the sportage. I’ve loved them all and have not experienced any problems with them. KIA continues to exceed my expectations.

Cannot reach under the console, Blindspot on the passenger side and seats are not very comfortable. Otherwise, the car is a very nice car and has decent pick up power for just the four-cylinder.

The trunk gets stuck it closed on my fingers. The gas mileage is great and it’s never ran out on gas on me before and the GPS system could use a little work but all in all a good car if you have 2 kiddos.

Purchased a 2018 Ford Explorer from Bates Ford in Lebanon, TN . Everything went well and the staff was polite and helpful, everything went smoothly and no hassles.Thank you!

This is my 3rd Santa Fe in 10 years.Great car for the price. Body integrity not so great as chips in paint appear. Same issue with other 2. Biggest complaint is heat system. Don’t expect to put in auto at start. Will never warm cab. Must manually get cab warm then you may be able to use auto. Auto directs heat to extreme downward location.

Great salesman! Only down side was they hit me extra hard for add on warranties, service plans, etc. But it was an enjoyable purchase overall.

I have owned probably 70 plus cars in my 70 years when counting company vehicles. I bought an old 2007 Santa Fe for my kid and loved it … got a 2023 for myself. Bought my Fiancé a 2023 Rav4 hybrid at the same time as I had one in 2021 for myself. This car is much quieter, better ride and a 20% better value. Just look at the warranty difference. Toyota will be losing market share when the word gets out. Hyundai is making a much better value.

I cannot recommend Kia of Murfreesboro enough! From start to finish, the team was patient, helpful, kind, and never pushy. They truly listened to our needs and worked within our budget, helping us leave with a car that far exceeded our expectations. They took the time to walk us through every detail of the vehicle and made sure we felt confident before driving off the lot. Every staff member we interacted with was welcoming, friendly, and eager to help. Thanks to their exceptional service, we’ll be loyal customers for life!

When shopping for our Santa Fe, we looked at many different models brands and sizes some smaller some larger and felt very comfortable with the size of this vehicle. The interior is beautiful and lacks the big TV screen that many of the SUVs have that I didn’t care for. After driving it, I was impressed with its cornering handling breaking an overall driving position. I now have 15,000 miles on it and I’m totally impressed with its comfort and all of the safety features. Some of the smaller SUVs we drove were noisy, and I felt every bump on the road, some of the larger SUVs were just too big. I was impressed with how quiet this car was and how it smoothed out lot of the rough roads that we have here in California. We have the SEL model with a 2.5 L turbo charged engine that has plenty of power and decent fuel economy. I get over 30 miles per gallon on the highway and 25 miles per gallon in town. This is an amazing vehicle that drove nicer both in town and freeway than many other SUVs costing thousand more.

Highly recommend Robert Abel at this dealership. He helped get everything just right for a very quick purchase. I love my car. I love that the process was so easy.

This is a great place to buy a car with good honest place. Give them a try

We have a 2013 and it has 230k on it and runs like new, body is in excellent condition, been normal wear and tear things but we have gotten our money’s worth out of it and would buy another, we have the turbo model so it’s fun to drive and has the power on the high way.

Great staff, very willing to help and explain in detail of the autos they have for sale.

Agree with the other reviewers. Great car all around. Best bang for your buck. Until my wife's car I was not familiar with Hyundai. She has a 2015 sonata sport and it was so dependable and nicely equipped that I was sold on the brand when my wife's car hit 130k and she never did anything to it except brakes, new tires, and oil changes.. not to mention that one is still going strong today as well. So anyway... Bought the 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe limited ultimate awd used a year ago with 50k miles on it for similar reasons others seem to have bought one. Dependability, comparable or better features than competitors in its class, not bad on gas mpg, tons of cargo space, great tow capacity, pano sunroof, heated and cooling seats, standard plug in trunk, second row captains seats that recline and move forward and back oh not to mention are heated, heated steering wheel, great v6 power house, privacy shades in second row, nice touch screen, awesome 10 speaker audio system with subwoofer, high intensity headlights, oh and a limited slip rear locking differential that is on vehicles like the new genesis suv or my ram 1500, both are around $50kish new with those options. The only thing I wish it had which my one year older 2015 ram 1500 Laramie longhorn has is front sensors for parking and led lit side door storage areas but that truck was $10-15k more brand new than the Santa Fe was new... So moral of the story, pretty impressive Hyundai.

Just purchased 2013 VW CC. Very happy with the deal! Cars are clean, reliable, trustworthy!

My has been perfect untill now something is happening to it ,it keeps running my battery down bad enough it kills the cells in battery nothing on in the car but still doing this

Very professional. Their used vehicles are very nice. It was a great buying experience. No pressure sales tactics.

Performance is not what I expected though. But everything else is very nice and smooth ride. I would buy again until the day I die.

Everyone was very nice and accommodating. Murdock was helpful and helped us find the car that she loved. We are grateful. Would definitely come back.
