I’ve always liked the design of the Santa Fe and finally feel ready to make a move. There’s a 2024 Santa Fe Limited (gas model) at a local dealer with a $10,000 discount because they’re clearing out 2024 models.
I want to go for it, but I’ve heard some stuff about transmission issues (DCT problems) with the 2024 gas models. Apparently, it’s just a software fix?
Should I go ahead with this deal or spend more on the 2025 version?
Exactly! That’s why I’m trying to figure out if there are any risks before I commit.
Don’t tell anyone about the deal until it’s yours. Someone might snatch it up! I’d go for it, especially at that discount. Just make sure the dealer isn’t sneaking in extra fees.
You should consider the hybrid instead. It’s only about $500 more, has better gas mileage (great for city driving), and the start/stop is super smooth. Also, I’m skeptical that a transmission issue can really be fixed with just software.
