Okay, I've read the threads...
Looking to buy a vehicle in the next few weeks; settled on a Hyundai Santa Fe. My first choice was a Chevy Equinox but after weeks/months of study and homework, it was learned that the Equinox has major issues (heater blows cold air; A/C blows hot air) and GM will not recall the vehicle! Any-hoo, I know to stay away from Brad Benson Hyundai! I got a call from some woman at Lester Glenn Hyundai, she asked me what exactly I was looking for in terms of engine, trans, AWD or FWD (I want FWD). I'm not buying brand new mind you, but '06/'07 and I understand that they buy from the big auctions (Bordentown, Manheim) Is LG a good place for a deal? I was actually considering Craigslist to do my shopping...
Only thing is, no matter what I look at, the CARDINAL RULE is that I take the car to my mechanic, and he is in North Jersey - no mechanic lookee, NO DEAL! End of story!
I used to sell cars upstate...but I had a few problems dere. Florida, NY. Yeah, I grabbed a guy he sez he dont know if he wants to buy I push his head right into the hood "you buy this effin car or I'll break your effin head" I had problems up there, Rick.

Can't comment about Lester Glenn, but I can tell you to steer clear of Freehold Hyundai and Brad Benson Hyundai. I don't know if any dealers would be buying 06/07 cars at auction. If they have those years on their lot I'm thinking they took it on trade.
you should find out what a good deal is before you go to the dealer.
this is probably overstepping but I wouldn't buy an suv for use in nj and choose fwd. my brother got a ford edge fwd and about a year later he replaced it with an awd edge.

Gonna agree with that, I've known a few people actually who've purchased a fwd SUV and replaced it. Isn't that really the point of getting an SUV, the four/all wheel drive? If my Jeep had awd, it wouldn't be my Jeep anymore.
