1990 Hyundai Excel GLS 4dr Sedan
Great running car after fixed. As long as the vehical is properly maintained then you should have no prolems with it. For what you pay for it is a good deal. I have had the car for about a year and love it. I have had need to repair it as you will have to do with any used car reguardless of make. it is unfair to ding this vehical because of the previous owners lack of care and … mainteance.

1990 Hyundai Excel GLS 4dr Sedan
I bought this car not knowing what i
was about to get into, The starter
went twice, the cv joints replaced
numerous times, major oil leak, i hadf
no heat so i replaced my thermostat,
then my car would over heat when it
was negative 10 outside, the manual
windows and door looks at problems,
the power sunroof once got stuck open,
i thought i was buying a good car for
a … kid still in school with all the
money i spent in repairs i mine as
well of took a loan out on a newer car
