Just traded my '02 Santa Fe with 160,000 miles for '07 with 10k, what can I expect from the '07?
 

I just traded my '02 LX for an '07 GLS. Got 160,000 miles out of the '02 and still running strong. I would have kept it for another 160,000 if I didn't get such a great deal on the '07. What kind of issues I should be on the lookout for with the '07. I have seen some talk of rear brake issues. Anyone have any advice?

I've not heard of any serious problems with the new Sante Fe. What engine is in it? The 3.3L is a vesrion of the Lambda whish has been known to have timing chain tensioner issues. There is a TSB about it and it may have already been taken care of by the previous owner.

Good luck with it and enjoy.

MIne has the 2.7, which they have apparently improved upon since the 2002 version, increasing the HP by a few points. Thanks for the well wishes. I got 160,000 miles out of the '02 and would have gladly kept it for another 160,000, but this was just too good a deal to pass up on.
