 We purchased our santa fe used off of an older gentleman whose wife had passed away and it was her car.  It had 39000 miles on it when we purchased it and 5 years later it is still going strong with 140000 miles on it.  It has been hit by deer and a few horses and the insurance company wouldn't total it so we had repairs done and keep on going.  Everything still works great on it, just like it did when we first purchased it except for the gas gauge doesn't always but as far as dependability it definitely has our vote! Would highly recommend!  We travel a lot with our kids for sports and never had any problems!
