Whats the better deal?
I'm looking two Santa Fe's at the dealer and am having some trouble desiding.
They are a '04 GLS AWD with 60,900 miles for $10K and a '05 GLS FWD with 30,500 miles for $11K The problem I am having is that the wife LOVES the color of the '04 (Dark Red) and that it's AWD but likes that the '05 is an '05 (Silver) and a lot less miles for only $1k more. |

'05 GLS FWD with 30,500 miles for $11K '04 GLS AWD with 60,900 miles for $10K |

P.S. If you do buy the 04, regardless of the engine it has, it is due for a timing belt replaement. Do not scrimp on this service as a broken belt is fatal for Hyundai engines.

Well we are the new owners of a
2004 Santa Fe GLS AWD..... I asked the dealer about the timing belt and he said that the 60K service was done. How do I know that it has been done? Will it be in a database somewhere? Or what can I look for to see if they actually did change the belts? |

ORIGINAL: ken99 You can try looking at the bolts on the timing cover to see if there are signs that they have been worked on, but I'm guessing the engine bay has been thouroghly cleaned for sale on the lot. Short of dismantling the engine, I think you will most likely have to rely on trust. |
