Used 1998 Hyundai Accent Pricing
1998 Highlights
The Accent GSi replaces the Accent GT this year. New front and rear fascias, and new engine mounts, which reduce engine vibration and harshness, are the only other changes to Hyundai's smallest car.
Pros
- One of the least expensive modes of transportation on the road. Hyundais are more reliable than you think.
Cons
- Interior upholstery can be unnatractive. Strange rear end.

100,000+ NO PROBLEMS ! Still Going!!
This car has been no trouble. For less
than 5 years old and 100000 + its been
great. I have replace tires once, spark
plugs once. Regular oil changes. This
car has never been serviced other then
what was mentioned. I have driven this
car hard the whole time. (Shifting at
5500 rpms most of the time) If it can
endure me like this car has I call it
either a fluke or a great car. This car
was in Minnesota for 4 years of its
life and was wonderful in the snow.
A Love Affair
I bought my 1998 Hyundai Accent hatchback in 1999 with 11k miles on it. I wanted something compact,with good gas mileage, and above all, reliablity. If you don't care too much about bells and whistles, this is the car for you. No, you won't be impressed with highway performance or torque. No, you won't be impressed with the plasticy look of the inside. But, you will be impressed with the reliability of the car. I've now owned it for 8 years, it's at 192k miles (I use to do delivery jobs), and it's become the old beat-up teddy bear that I can't seem to part from. I've had only 2 bigger repairs on it. I waiting for it to die but it doesn't seem to want to do it any time soon. Love this car!!
Not Happy (Throw away car)
This car only lasted me a year. I bought this car for $2,500 on a payment plan and on my last payment the transmission went out. It went forwards but not backwards. I wasted money. When I go to car menchanics they tell me it's not worth fixing because the parts are too expensive and hard to find. I got oil changes and tuneups regurlary and it still broke down on me. It's hard to try and trade this car in because the dealerships want to only give you a couples of hundred dollars for this piece of garbage.
