My first post on this forum. I've been researching the Santa Fe Sport after seeing it in person at the Sacramento International Car Show.

I've found a new, unsold 2014 online with less than 10 miles on the odometer at a great price.

What would be suggestions when speaking with the dealership, as it's too far away for a preliminary test drive. I'm wondering about the battery, potential rust on the brakes, etc. Thanks in advance.

 

I wouldn't worry too much about those things as the dealer will have to prep the car and inspect it before he sells it. However, I would still want to drive it first. I'd suggest calling the dealer and tell him that you are interested but you have some concerns and want them addressed before you drive the distance to see it. If the dealer wants your business, he will address your concerns. If you go there and they aren't addressed, then that will tell you he's not serious and I'd walk away.

 

Thank you for your reply.
