With Hyundais getting passed around so much on the low end market, it's kind of hard to say. Similar to how old Hondas, Toyotas, and Subarus were passed around in the late 70s and 80s until people realized what a value they were. I don't think it will take too much longer before the resale value starts coming up.

We've had two of them in the driveway, a 98 Elantra and a 00 Sonata. Both were very reliable cars, great price/feature ratio, and we were very happy with them.

 

Gee this is just great folks, now you can pick and choose whichever car you like the most and you wont have to worry about not looking like the other persons vehicle...

I agree very much so about your statement here also..

 

I would say that I will more than likely buy this new model of Hyundai when it comes out...Here's another thing Hyundai gives you when you buy one of their cars..at the end of your final deal after the price has been set..you tell them that you are a Hyundai Owner and they give you an additional $1500.00 off the price for whats called Customer Appreciation , How do I know this? Well WheelBrokerAng also Owns (paid for ) 2 Sonatas already

[sm=smiley32.gif] Thank You for Reading This

 

I must say that the new Santa Fe has us looking pretty closely at it.

 

And that Tex is a fine looking SUV with all the bells and whistles..I drove a couple of those already also and I too, like them...

My gal's son & daughter in law have one. They drove down here over spring break in it (700 miles on the clock). I looked it over VERY closely, drove it, and I think it's a winner. Long term reliability is up in the air on a brand new model (from ANY maker)I must admit but the track record is good. We are tempted if we can swing the moola.

 

I just got 3 words.......sonata....good...car

 

And so do I have three good words ...I ...Also...Agree

 

sorry i meant sonatagoodcar (not a good car) but actually they are starting to make a pretty good car. And I believe they are made in north america so I have no problem buying from them. The only real problem is that their resale value is worse than your average GM, Ford, or mabye even Chrysler product. Everyone copies everyone else in this day and age. How do you think honda got to be so big. They took the big 3's idea's, copied them and made them better so they don't break all the time. So I guess I agree with both sides.....copying sucks but it is inevidable and sometimes it makes for better products.
