I'm looking at buying my first SSR. There's one that I really like at North Freeway Hyundai in Houston. They claim to be "well known" in the SSR community.
Anyone done business with them? Any experiences you can share? I live in AZ, so it would be a long distance purchase for me.
Yes, many on this site have good experience with them.
There's also a decent size SSR crowd in the Houston area, I'd be willing to bet you could get someone to go thoroughly check it out for you, but knowing that dealership, it will probably be a worthy SSR. I'd still have someone look at it and take pics just because....
North Freeway has now sold (best recent guess) is 650 SSR's - all just premium stuff, so yes trust them
Many of our members have purchased and sold with them
I am a primary purchaser for them - just bought my #210 SSR.
Through my involvement with SSR Fanactic I became an agent for North Freeway
The fact is, Paul (Nfwy owner) loves the SSR
I guess I am pretty much unbiased - but I am involved in most of their inventory - can vouch for the history etc.
I am firstly an SSR guy - would never mislead you
Everything they have that I have been involved with is prime
Call me if you want info on history - I will likely know

I bought my '06 SA FPR going on 5 years ago now and I still am OBSESSED with it. :wub: It had 18k miles then & I now have 21k. The folks at NFH are super to deal with. There are many others on this Forum that got theirs at NFH. :59:
I bought mine there----before I even knew about this Forum!!! I would highly recommend them, plus you could possibly buy an extended warranty if thats your thing!!
I bought my '05 from them a little over a year ago before doing much research here. I planned to fly out and inspect it first, but took a chance and bought it sight unseen (except for internet pictures, which can lie). I took the chance based on the fact that they are the #1 reseller of SSRs. I figured if they misrepresented the SSR, I would post here and their reputation would be soiled. Very happy with my SSR. They arranged shipping too.
Cash buys for them, I now totally trust NFH and Cash.
Incorrectly mounted front license plate bracket was removed and facia holes were filled and facia repainted. Happy camper now.
Hey, thanks - every now and then! HaHa! :cigareta:
A few wound up with the plate hangar on the top 2 rather than the bottom 2 - pretty much an original dealer delivery problem I think - in fact pretty sure.
If you have viewed as many build sheets as I have, you would recognize the RPO for the plate hangar was not required in all States, ergo will not be on the build sheet of State of original destination
In Canada, it was mandatory
My first 05 (a US build) did not have it and got away with it here in BC for I think 5 years
My #2 Kate must have required it in WI, where I bought her from - not loving it (the plate hangar that is) but at least it is positioned properly
I saw one that painted it Red, thinking of doing that - looked nice I think
Saved a picture in my Brazilian SSR pictures - can't quite come up with it right now
I also purchased my Pacific Blue 2006 FPR almost 3 years ago from them. I took a flight down to look and purchased. Had it shipped home. It was easy doing business with them.
When purchased it had about 29K on it and now has about 47K. Love it. Took 2 round trips to Florida so far.
I purchased my 05 from them a little over 2 years ago. If I remember right the SSR salesman's name was Tony. Sent me pictures and walked me through the whole process. They stood behind it and what I mean about that is the top didn't work and they told me to bring it into the local Chevy dealer and for them to contact NFH. It was fixed and North Freeway Hyundai took care of it. Of course I bought a yellow with 32,000 miles and now have 38,500. NFH is the one who told me about SSR Fanatics site. By the way they arranged to ship it to Florida at a reasonable price. Good luck.
I'm interested in the silver 06 automatic. Exactly what I'm looking for. I noticed that the price on their website is $34k. Seems a bit high, but hoping they are willing to negotiate.
One major point to consider . . . Arizona has a relatively unique Used Car Purchase Law.
Unless the law has changed recently, if you purchase from a dealer, regardless of "In State or Out of State" you must pay the Arizona Sales Tax plus local City / County sales taxes under certain circumstances. If you purchase from a Private Party . . . NO SALES TAX.
If I were in your shoes, the Sales Tax would definitely push me towards a Private Party if at all possible.
If it was me and if I really wanted the R, I would definitely make the dealership aware of the sales tax disparity and include that fact in the negotiations.
I bought my 2005 AquaBlur from them in April. Drove down from Shreveport LA and had 10 SSRs to choose from. The experience was very positive. Worked with Ryan.
Your First SSR - Call Me - You need to see this one!

You need to drive and see this local car from a private party. It will save you tax $$$ And is a real nice SSR. Silver and Grey Fancy Paint, Wheels and Tires new, etc.
Bought mine from Tony in 2014. I dropped by for a visit recently to see their new digs and got the VIP tour including a shoot the bull session with Paul. They are great folks and won't steer you wrong.
I know of a private party selling a well optioned 2005 6sp in the aqua blur color in the Phoenix area. Call me at 847-828-6505 and I will give contact info.
I sold them 5 SSR all Were 06 ,low mileage, always keep in doors and a couple were F. P. R. This year I bought I bought a yellow 05 in Jan. Kept it less than 2 months ,then noticed they now had a yellow 06 F P R with only 29,000 miles & we traded for a small amount. I will recommend them again !!!! Furykay :smile2:
