Used Hyundai Santa Fe for sale near Ridgeville, SC under $30,000

My situation must have been the most difficult situation ever at a Carmax, even though it was tough and the Managers and Myself got frustrated at times Ed, Dave, Eric, and Chris (Carmax Charleston Managers) never gave up on me and worked hard to make this thing happen. I came to them looking for my dream car, the Mitsubishi Lancer RalliArt or Evolution on a limited budget. They found the vehicle and brought it in, I bought the vehicle and there were a few problems with it, the guys took the car back no questions asked and found another one, even though there were some other issues that occured the Management staff at Carmax stuck by me and helped me make it happen. Anyone new to the car buying process should go see the team at Carmax, Charleston, as they will guide you through the process and explain it to you the whole way through! That is the way Car Buying should be! Thanks Guys for all you help and hard work! Chris G.

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.

Went into the Carmax store just to look for a car for future purchase. I was greet immediately by Mr. Carl R Emery and from there things went smoothly. We asked about cars and he talk to us a little about them and told us to have a look and call on him if we need to look in, test drive or just ask question about any of the vehicles. We end up buying a car! Customer service was great and now we will have to drive the car for a little while before I will make any comments. OVERALL the experience.

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.

Richard, who helped my fiance and I, was extremely knowledgeable, patient and honest with us. He really helped us narrow down what we want and made our visit very enjoyable.

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.

Very comfortable, very solid feeling, love my Santa Fe PHEV, around town get about 88 mp gallon, often much more. Some controls confusing, especially heat/AC; buttons and dials would be better than touch screen. Would like forward drive gear button to be in front with rear behind, a safety issue.

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'm sending a shout out to Stacey in the service department of AutoMaxx. Recently, the seatbelt buckle malfunctioned on my BMW 530I that I bought from them. I frantically went to the department to get the buckle repaired. While getting my car checked in, Stacey decided to take the initiative to look at the buckle herself. Within five minutes, she ameliorated the problem and I went home feeling grateful and ecstatic. THANK YOU, STACEY!

We have had the 2022 Santa Fe Calligraphy for one year and have been very satisfied for the most part. We learned early on that a front seat passenger can not use a seat pad and have the passenger seat air bag light go off. We met with a regional customer service advisor at the dealership and were told all new cars are that way. It’s unfortunate if you happen to be under 5’ and want to sit higher. Now that I know that, I am sorry not to have checked this before we purchased. Now that I do know I will consider this at my next purchase. Only three other issues, terrible gas mileage 22-24 mpg, occasional failure of the doors to unlock without pressing the key fob and street noise. As far as comfort is concerned, we have been happy with the ride and handling.

I have to come on here and brag about my service advisor Jessica and the shop foreman David. Hands down one of the best experiences with both of them. Jessica and David have done everything possible to make me happy when it comes to servicing my vehicle. There was a few things that my car needed after I bought it and they have been so professional and great about it. This whole experience at this dealership has been great! If u need your car serviced def come here and ask for Jessica and David to make sure u get the best experience! I can't thank them enough for everything they've done for me! Thanks again Jessica and David!!

I have a 2023 Santa Fe SEL with the premium package. Overall I am very happy with this car. It has a lot of tech, very comfortable interior and has enough power. Can’t really rate reliability as I only have 1,300 miles on it. The one big let down is the blue link system, while it advertises a lot of tech features half of them don’t work. Customer support is really non existent.

Great experience! Purchased my second vehicle yesterday from this establishment. Caleb had the vehicle waiting on me when I arrived and showed me every bell and whistle it had. Another sales guy Chris showed amazing hospitality while I was there. Jose in finance was well organized we got in and out. Rang the bell and Johnny and Caleb helped transfer my belongings into my new vehicle. Top notch!

I was the first one in America to own the 2021 Santa Fe limited, or any 2021 SF actually! I’ve never owned a Hyundai but I am loving this vehicle! I have Stormy Seas with the leather trim interior. Every feature possible in this baby Palisade, I can tell you it has features I thought I’d never use in AZ and I’ve used them all from parking assist to heated steering wheel and cooled and heated seats! The window shades in the rear windows help in 115* heat. I love the cameras and everything that came with it. I love to open the roof and let the sun in without getting blown all over the place.

I purchased a 2020 Honda Accord from Automaxx Summerville on May 23. My salesman Justin B. was phenomenal. He made sure we were taken care of and he was very patient with us. He took care of everything seamlessly. Thank you Justin!

I wanted a nice car at a value price at a great price so I got the 2019 Santa Fe and it had 30,000 miles on it and this thing runs and drives as smooth as glass

Molly was fantastic she deserves more than 5 stars for her hard work highly recommend automaxx

Had since new. Over 92,000 miles and I just replaced front brake pads. Did rear pads at 65,000. Never had any issues. Very comfortable. Actually got over 31 mpg on highway for the 2.4 which is rated at 22-29 mpg

Made buying my car alot less stressful! Would recommend them to any body looking for a car!!!!! Can't remember the name of the gentleman who helped us but I will be buying there again

Had a 2020 Santa Fe Limited for almost 4 years and 84,000 miles. Loved that car, but as I plan to work 5 more years I was thinking about getting a new one. I drive a lot and did not want to push the old car to 200,000 miles. Was waiting to see what the all new 2024 model was going to be like. Well, after seeing the pictures and reading all about the new model, I decided it was not for me. Not a fan of the new look and don’t need the 3rd row seating. So, I decided to look for a 2023 Calligraphy model in the same color as my 2020 as that model is the only one that has all the features my 2020 Limited had. Once you have features like the HUD you don’t want to lose them. Here is the rundown so far. Keep in mind I was very happy with my 2020. Found this 2023 demo with 3,000 miles and pulled the trigger. Exterior Looks: virtually the same with some important changes. I love the full body color look of the new one compared to the black trim around the wheels and lower sides of the old one. I prefer the 20” wheels although there is a slight degredation of ride quality compared to the 19” wheels on the old car. The front end design is slightly different. Note the 2023 loses the front fog lights that the 2020 had. Not a biggie for me. Overall I like the exterior look of the 2023 very much, especially the body color accents. Interior Looks: again very similar to the 2020. Leather is nicer with diamond quilted look on top of the seats that is all the rage now. Tan leather is more of a saddle color than the light beige of the old car. The console is the biggest change. Not in love with the push button transmission but getting used to it. Not as much topside storage as old car but huge new storage area below the top front area of the console. Full digital dash replaces the partial digital dash on the 2020. Infotainment screen is larger and I prefer both the new dash and the larger info screen. The headliner is black on the new one as compared to a tweed look on the old car. The material is suede like. Would love to say it is Alcantara but seriously doubt that at this price point. It does look very nice. Features: Tons of features that equal or exceed the 2020 model. That’s one of the selling points of this car-it is incredibly well equipped at this price point. I did get the HTRAC AWD on this one as the old car was FWD. Drive: The 2.5 Turbo in the new car is more powerful than the 2.0 Turbo in the old car. The difference is noticeable. I like the increased power. Going to AWD did reduce the MPG slightly but I expect some improvement as I put more miles on the car. Have not driven in snow or heavy rain yet so cannot comment on AWD capability. As I mentioned before, the ride is slightly firmer due to the 20” wheels compared to the 19” ones on the 2020. This car is exceptionally quiet with the acoustic glass and rides very well, like the old one did. Seats are comfortable in both rows with lots of adjustment. I really like the driver seat bottom front extension due to my long legs. Intangibles: I am 6’4” tall and really appreciate all the room in this car. Plenty of legroom in both rows and the giant moonroof does not impinge on head room either. Cargo area is large with lots of under floor storage as well. Note that the AWD model has no spare tire, and that increases the under floor storage compared to the FWD model I had. Conclusion. I loved my 2020 Santa Fe Limited. So far, the love continues with the new 2023 Calligraphy. This one should last me until I retire. I’m sure the 2024 will appeal to many, but it just doesn’t appeal to me. I won’t buy a car that does not have a look that I like. Maybe in 5 years the new boxy look will have grown on me, time will tell. I’m glad I decided to get the newer version of what I had and loved and will report in again as time goes by, like I did with the 2020.

Bought this vehicle from Daytona hyunda on Nova Rd. Ian was are sales person I will never go anywhere else. We bought a 2020 Santa fe and traded it in for a 2022 Hyunda santa fe limited 2.5 turbo best in the world. 30 miles PG.

I HAD GIVEN UP TRYING TO GET A NICE CAR FOR A LNG TIME WHEN MY CO WORKER PULLES UP IN A 2016 CHEVY MALIBU. I KNEW HIS CREDIT WAS LIKE MINE SO I ASKED AND HE TOLD ME TO GO SEE BRANDON AT PAYLESS CAR SALES. I DIDN'T HAVE HIGH HOPES BUT SITTING OUT FRONT OF MY HOUSE IS A 2014 HONDA. THANK YOU BRANDON

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 !

What an upgrade! ALL the bells and whistles! We highly recommend Chad Hickey, Sales Manager; Lori Kirwin, Vehicle Specialist; and Adrain Blaylock, Finance Manager. Very helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. They made our purchase and trade in painless and easy. We highly recommend Hiley!

Saw a car on a random used car web site, called to inquire, on week later I'm driving off the lot with it. If I had had the down payment it would have been the next day. Mikey and the team at Hudson Nissan made the experience easy and stress less.

I originally owned a 2021 Santa Fe SEL, it was wonderful and problem free for 3 years but I gave it my daughter. I bought a 2023 Hyundai Tucson limited, had it for 3 months, and I found all the extra "features" in the limited Tucson to be unnecessary and problematic So, I traded it in on a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe SEL, and I love it. Reliable, everything works as it should, comfortable, more space, better turning radius than Tucson. I have been getting great gas mileage as well . The SEL has plenty of features, safety, comfort, space and convenience. I love my Santa Fe!

Great car, love driving it. It is under powered but once you get to highway speed it’s fine. Had a great service rep but he left so will have to see how new one pans out. I have had zero problems with this car.
