You don't even seem to understand the basic premise of purchasing power so I won't even bother going into it at length. Do you actually think owners of a $10K new car care much about purchasing power in the first place? I don't. Many times the money you saved by paying less than the competition upfront would far makeup for the difference later. You seem confused. ... Read More...

Not sure where you are getting your numbers, but they are wrong. According to Edmunds, a 2001 Elantra GLS 5-speed with 45K miles w/ cruise, keyless, and alarm sells at PRIVATE for $4723. Even a 2002 model with the same features and mileage sells at private for $5500. You charged your sister practically dealer retail price...nice guy. The point of my original post ... Read More...

I dinstinctly remember Backy that you "sold" your Elantra. Had you traded it in to a dealership, especially a non-Hyundai one, you would have gotten a fraction of that number. According to Edmunds (far more realistic than KBB), a 2001 Elantra GLS is worth a mere $2957 as a trade-in. Whoever paid nearly 6K for your car seriously got taken. The fact remains that Hyundai's ... Read More...

They do make the Yaris, which is the replacement for the ECHO, but it still didn't make Edmunds' Most Wanted list, or even the runner-up (that was the Versa). CR also rated the Yaris behind--WAY behind actually--both the Accent and Rio in their recent comparo test. Both Hyundais I have owned, a 2001 and 2004 Elantra, have given dependable service. My sister bought ... Read More...

Hyundai Accent Real World MPG

RE: Hundai Accent: REal World MPG

Written by: norm14 on Nov 22, 2006 06:07 PM

I own a 2001 Accent, bought in January of 2002. My mileage on it is 40-42 MPG highway and about 38-40 mixed driving. The car's mileage drops markedly in winter to mid thirties. I like passing dead Mercedes' on the side of the road. Car currently has 90,000 miles on it and I have spent close to nothing on repairs. For value, I just don't think you can beat it. I have no problems ... Read More...

Also, with respect to residuals, what do they mean in actual dollar values. For example, I buy an Accent and a Yaris for $14,000, after 5 years what will the value be for each of them, assuming they're in the same condition at 75,000 miles each. For example, I just went to KBB to see the private party selling value for a 2001 Corolla LE with 75,000 miles and it's $7085. ... Read More...

I see that since you can't make a case for the Yaris, other than it has a very good chance to be reliable and it has excellent fuel economy, you turn back to your same-old attacks on Hyundai in general. How about backing up your arguments with some facts, as I and others have done? Your attempts to extricate yourself from your errors of fact used to be amusing; now they ... Read More...

Please show me where I described it as anything but more risk? OK, how about this from a few minutes ago: Historically, even as recent as the last 5 years, you'd have far less to "risk" [emphasis mine] if you went with a Yaris. Not sure what buying with cash has to do with this. Since the Accent costs less up front than the Yaris, why should taking out a loan be a problem ... Read More...
