12 years no trouble - then sudden death

I bought my 2000 Tiburon April 2000. It was my first brand new car. All I did was oil changes and gas and go for 12 years and had few problems with it until it died. The car looks fast and is fast enough to pass and get plenty of tickets but will not win any races so don't try. It has been a good car for the most part. The timing belt wore out. Now they tell me it's gonna cost at least $4400 to fix it.

I love this car. I have had numerous problems and I can't figure out for the life of me why I still love it. Having said that let me talk about all the problems: faulty seatbelt and radio recalled, 7 bad headlamps in first year, passenger window stopped/started working, bad relay on fan blower, dead battery at 40K, new battery dead at 42K. I think there is a fundamental electrical problem, but 4 dealers can't find anything. So why am I addicted to this car?? I can't explain it. But I would buy it again still. go figure...

NO RESALE VALUE

Bought it brand new in 2000, seemed like a good deal. Sporty, but the interior leather is junk and starts to wear right away. Not comfortable if you are tall.Forget trying to trade it in even at the dealership where u bought it. They will just tell you the market is dead and that they will give you 3000 below wholesale. The paint is garbage too it chips if you look at it funny.Never had any mechanical problems but I only had about 15k miles on it when I got rid of it. Under no circumstances should you pay over DEALER INVOICE for this car! And do not buy if you dont plan on keeping it for a long time.

Well I've had this car for 2 1/2 years now. It is still going good. Lots of rattles and problems with dealerships in Canada. I've had a few problems with cracked door panels bad spark plugs and o2 sensors. But I haven't had much mechanical problems. Squeaks and rattles a plenty, actually the car has squeaked from the second I drove it off the lot. It doesn't seem to like the cold of Canada though, the engine idles really rough, the brakes bong and clank and there is lots of squeak in the clutch in the cold. Eveything goes away in the summer months though. I wouldn't buy another one even after the mechanical stability as I find the fit and finish to be sub par.
