Given how poor their after sales service is, I would stand clear from them and that brand. They are by far the absolute worst after sales service I ever dealt with and I had to deal with them all...

Seems like you had a really bad experience. My experience on the other hand was quite different. LSM after sales service was pretty descent. The worst I had ever experienced was at Southern Sales (hands down).

Cool... don't ever buy a JEEP or a Porsche from LSM though. Commit suicide instead... Less headache

Still hasn't arrived yet lol was supposed to be here in June and they said it went into production in April but then we got another delay to July then August lol. But just two weeks ago we got another confirmation of it being put into production so they said end of September but we got a call yesterday saying end of October so it's definitely upsetting when we could've been in a new Sorento all now. So that's been 650k+ down the drain since February. Hopefully we do get the Santa Fe by the end of October. I know the shortage of semi conductors was a problem but it's a bit weird this long of a wait. We're also looking at getting the new fully loaded Tucson for me or the Mini Countryman S All 4, as I just got my license but that may come later in the year as they don't have any at the moment.
Let me know what y'all think of the Santa Fe situation and the choice of first car.

Choice for first car I always recommend something where parts is easier to come by. Especially if you’re a tinkerer. I have no remorse for people who pluck at kia and Hyundai sadly, too many burns and bad experiences yes.
That Santa Fe…. I was getting my refund and taking business elsewhere too.. 650k is too much for me personally not to get lifetime reliability
I researched the korando a bit and apparently it's using an aisin transmission, we all know aisin is owned by Toyota, so I'd say I'd trust it more than any Hyundai or kia, I fraid those Hyundai and Kia trans and engines, too many recalls, Al though recalls are meant to fix issues.Capleton wrote:nick639v2 wrote:tris_786 wrote:Hey fellas, especially @agent007, we spoke on this back in Feb, just giving an update on the Santa Fe we ordered back in Feb.

Lifestyle now has the Ssangyong Rexton (7 Seat SUV), which is a direct competitor to the Santa Fe and Sorento. 2WD starts from $450K and the 4WD version starts from $500K. I got a little look at it, and it is really well equipped and quite the looker. Seems to built on the Musso Grand ladder on frame chassis.
They also got the smaller Korando which is aimed at the Sportage and Tucson. The prices were:
- Entry Level 2WD - $245K
- Mid Spec 2WD - $280K
- Fully Loaded AWD - $320K
Again, these units are properly well equipped for the price. Could see this Korean brand giving Kia and Hyundai a run for their money in the T&T market.

Based on Massy's pricing that would start at 300k or something.
Still to wrap my head around the fact 5 years ago a 2.0l engine Qashqai started at 250 - 255k and today a 1.3l Qashqai starts at 285k.
Sales Rep say forex is a reason for higher prices but Gervase Warner not buying US$ on the black market or from shady Chinese businessmen. Massy getting Forex at the same 6.78 to one as they always had.
