| Price of the Ford Escape: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 171-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed automatic AWD |
Lowest |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.0L V6 6-speed automatic AWD |
My price paid was much smaller than Toyota and Honda similar models I researched. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed automatic AWD |
The price was within budget |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic AWD |
Compared to Honda, Toyota and GM, much more "bang for the buck"! |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
lower than the mazda |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.0L V6 4-speed automatic FWD |
Reasonable price for 1 year old lease return |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT AWD |
Not much. Pricey for what you get. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT AWD |
Part of the deal was getting top dollar on my trade in. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
At my purchase price of $15800 I think my Escape is an unmatched value. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 127-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual AWD |
Bought vehicle with low interest. And price of 19,600 was very reasonable. Especially by SUV standards |
| Price of the Ford Escape: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
Hybrid was quite a premium over the V6. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT FWD |
It is not economical when comparing standard engine vs. hybrid engine. You have to do it because you want a hybrid for the environment. However, it is 10K cheeper than Toyota Highlander Hybrid, but it is a lighter car too. Tow capacity is 1000 vs 3000. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 133-horsepower 2.3L I4 Hybrid CVT AWD |
As a hybrid, expect to pay a premium price. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Hyundai Santa Fe
| Price of the Hyundai Santa Fe: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV 276-horsepower 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
One of the lowest priced vehicles in its category (similarly equipped). Excellent interest rates. Dealers willing to negotiate. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
balloon financing, can get a loaded car for far less than other SUVs with the same features, low financing rates |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Most available standard features which are extras on other small SUVs and jack up their price. Got it for less than the advertised price. Had about 15 vehicles to choose from at below the advertised price unlike most dealers that have only 1 or 2. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
With high residual value, monthly lease payments for full-loaded model were comparable to base model Honda Pilot and Nissan Murano. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Good price for a mid-size SUV. Much better priced than a Honda CRV or Toyota RAV or Highlander |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Best value in class, about $3-5K less than Toyota or Honda. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 148hp 2.2L I4 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
I was able to get a good deal using a salary sacrifice process on a leased vehicle. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Low price for such a vehicle. So many features standard, special safety features. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Great value. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 185-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Well priced below $20,000. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
More features for less than competition. Zero financing. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 148hp 2.2L I4 Diesel 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Lots of "Power, without the Price" |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Good price for what you get inside out of the vehicle. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Great rebate and the sales person was willing to meet our price range. I was able to get a really good price for a car with all the bells and whistles. The long warranty helped a lot also. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 173-horsepower 2.7L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
very fair price for entry into SUV segment |
| Price of the Hyundai Santa Fe: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
unsure about their captive lender financing, did not want to apply and be turned down for a loan |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Price was fair when I bought it.. Has come down since the drop in auto sales. Just hope it can go 150K or more on it. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 242-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Lease rates were completely ridiculous compared to the Mazda. Wanted you to buy, but did not have good interest rates available. |
