Santa Fe only comes in gas version.
Never have seen a diesel version...especially here in Canada, maybe a diesel version is available in the DR.
Almost bought one myself back in 2007, everybody I know who has one is happy with it, seems to be an excellent car.Hey....
Anyone own or know someone that owns a Hyundai Santa Fe Diesel want to share their experience? Good, bad, worth it? Cheers.

Do they have the diesel version? I read it gets 38mph.

38 miles per hour... what more could one ask of their car?
Is it customary for a car dealership to keep or have maintenance records? Also, does the heat in the DrWith the proper care, easily. The same can be said for just about any diesel. But maintenance is key. I made the mistake of running water in my cooling system on my Land Rover, because I didn't want to pay 100 dollars a gallon for the special antifreeze they require.
Guess what? The water ruined the intercooler. That was a nice little $3000 dollar mistake.

Have negative impact on diesel engines? The car I'm looking at is a 2008
Santa fe diesel asking price is $750k.
Sounds like a fair deal, just make sure to check the engine and maintenance record.
If you take it to a mechanic, would he be able to tell the health of the engine? He would have to connect to the computer correct?
I am seriously considering the Santa Fe diesel CRD. The new one has a 2.2ltr high pressure rail turbo diesel engine and over 130bhp with over 300 lb/ft of torque.
I read an article about an Australian who drove one from coast to coast of OZ and AVERAGED 50mpg. Okay that's imperial gallons, but very impressive nonetheless.
My research has shown up gearbox problems, but only with the petrol versions in the US.
I'm guessing that the most important thing would be regular fuel filter changes with original Hyundai units, with it being a diesel.
Yes, that's the one on supercarros.com right?If the maintenance work was done by the dealer, and the vehicle was bought at the dealer, yes, they'll have records. I wouldn't be surprised if you could take the VIN number to the dealer, and see the history.
As long as you keep the engine compartment somewhat clean, and the radiator filled with the proper coolant, heat shouldn't be an issue.
The 2008 for 750K isn't an incredible deal, but it ain't bad if it's been taken care of. Are you looking at the pearl white one with 82K kilometers?
