Hey Everyone! I'm in the process of considering purchasing a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe, 2.7L V6? Anything I should strongly be considering before I continue with my Purchase? As I have heard through the Grapevine that Santa Fe's are quite expensive to fix and that they are prone to Transmission Problems, also are certain years of Santa Fe's prone to more repairs than others? Such as a 2003 compared to a 2004? Thank You Everyone For Taking The Time To Assist Me!:) I Appreciate The Assistance!

HI Santa fes are good cars thay just are very touchy when they dont get there fluilds changed. Every 30,000 miles change the coolant and trans fluild. Also the timing belt has to be changed every 60,000 miles or around that. im not saying if you go a mile over bad things are going to happen just keep up on it and it will run forever. I have seeen tham will 200,000 miles on tham and still going strong.
