What do I do, how do I not get ripped off.

I'm thinking of buying a 2010 Hundai Elantra for $7800, with about 75k miles on it from a local dealer. Is this a bad deal?

I'm a Hyundai fan. I had a 2001 Accent that went 320,000 miles before I sold it. I'd say that this is a fair deal if the car is in great shape, and 75k miles is nearly new for a Hyundai. Maintain it well, and it will go to the moon and back.

i just got a two-door '98 Explorer with a manual(?!) transmission and only 88k miles for $500. It looks basically new, even the A/C is cold. I don't even need it I just couldn't pass it up for $500 with working A/C. I guess I could carry a jetski in the back when I get one

but yes don't buy a car, esp prolly not hyundia (they make good cars now compared to the 80s/90s but still) with 75k miles for 8k

Actually, Hyundai Motors was not even formed until 1998, so good luck finding those "80s/90s" models!

old toyotas are what you want, thread is giving consistent advice. It will be cheap, when it needs repairs parts are easy to find and affordable, will go up to 500K miles probably if you're nice to it

This is a reasonable and acceptable comment, but you should expect Toyotas to not fare as well as Hyundais when it comes to maintenance costs and fuel economy. Toyotas are fine vehicles, though. I would order the three major Asian automobile manufacturers as (1) Hyundai/Kia, (2) Honda, and (3) Toyota--in terms of bang for the buck.

$1000 for a slammed MKII Golf GTI 8v. done. make sure its already got a sub woofer. the sub is very important because it tells you about the kind of person and the modifications they may have done. then use what you saved for sticky tires, a roof rack, a new oil pan, cherry bomb exhaust, anti-sway bars and a ridiculous cam. there is a chance it will already have all of those though so just roll the dice.

Buick isn't luxury, Oldsmobile is. Therefore I suggest a Black and White 1990 Oldsmobile Silhouette. Comfort, and style.

gently caress that, if you're getting North American luxury iron you gotta go classic. but you can go cool without going massive. like this Black 1961 Oldsmobile Cutlass; compact luxury for easy parking.

Umm. Hyundai Motor Company was founded in 1967 and first came to the U.S. in 1986 with the Hyundai Excel.

It should be noted that Hyundai, while an OK brand, uses old tech from other manufacturers. I'm not sure what they are using in the 2010s but last decade their new cars were using engines and transmissions that had been used by mitsubishi in the 1990s. So they've generally been 10 years behind on technology, plus they use the same tooling the old company used.

Now kia uses (used?) old Hyundai tooling Which means their brand new cars were on 15+ year old tech.


And my friend has gone through two elantra transmission on his 2008. Take that as you will.

Nah, if you're going North American built, you don't go luxury. You go performance and style. Which is why I suggest a Black Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am Speed, style, and even better with the T-Tops.
