I just bought a 2012 Hyundai Elantra with a ton of miles and I'm pretty damn excited.

An Elantra with 165k is not even broken in yet. No offense but that Elantra will still be on the road long after your Mercedes is dead in the scrap yard. Awesome car. Hope you enjoy it.

Would you recommend buying a 2011 Elantra like that with 140k miles? (In 2020) looks just like that. (I checked it out today, in good shape) I’m debating. He says he won’t go lower than $5,500. Thank you for any advice.

Good buy. Bought a brand new elantra in 2016. Have 193k miles and am only in it a fuel pump, driver side window control unit and two trunk latches beyond regular maintenance. They are great cars. Update: now at 217k miles. No more repairs. Hearing some bushing creak. May finally have to replace the tie rods soon.

I am sorry to say the transmission died at almost exactly 250,000 miles. When I took it in to fix, found out there were no new, renam or parts to fix mine. The new cars have cvt transmissions. Figure with covid they decided not to make repair part. I sold it to a mechanic friends so he could get a junk yard trani and fix it. Bought a hyundai venue as a replacement.

LOL I'm a car guy yet I was only excited about whipping around this same model elantra with like 22k on it as a rental. It felt like a go cart compared to all the family sized sedans my family owns, and a huge difference from my mercedes in ride/comfort. It was a pretty shitty car though and our mazda 3 which had some accident repair is a much better car than an Elantra. After posting this comment I did realize what you meant though. He is way into the details on this Elantra lol.

Hyundai & Kia are great cars today. My 2011 Hyundai sonata base model has more options than a base Mercedes, BMW, Acura & Infiniti of the same year. Style, comfort, gas mileage, power, tech package & great long warranty all for a cheaper price than the so called "luxury" brands; Bluetooth, Xm radio, mp3, steering wheel radio & phone controls, tire pressure monitor, power mirrors, telescopic steering, leather seats...the list goes on in the base model Sonata gsl. Camry, Accord and Altima are way overpriced for the same options.

it's because of the high mileage. High mileage deprecate a cars vaule very quickly. My 09 Prius has a 164,000 miles on it and it's currently only worth $4,000 compared one with 89k miles on it would be worth 6k-7k

I've had two Hyundais and I'm convinced they make a great car at a very reasonable price. I've never owned a German luxury car but have many friends that have. They were very expensive to repair once the warranty expired. I'm talking thousands of dollars a yr. Some have switched to Japanese Luxury cars and I'm not hearing nearly the complaints. Me, I'd rather sock the money I save and retire at 55.

Congratulations on a low cost reliable Elantra! I paid just over 20K but had it for over 8 years now w/ no issues. It's a 2013. I put one extra package on it which for 2013 they added heated seats w/ that package. My son in law had a 2013 new. Other than no heated seats, I saw the difference in the way his car steered compared to mine. But unless you have a 2013 you might not be unhappy w/ the steering at all. A great deal for you!.

Other than the rod bearing issue, it was fine. Decently comfortable, sufficient power for its size, great gas mileage, and for a compact, it had a TON of space.

[@mynameisphil401]

It looks like that car had minor rear end damage in the past. The rear bumper looks like it may have been painted, especially when you go past the rear corner on the passenger side @ 3:56. Also, those tires are the WORST thing I ever had in my car. It came with them when I bought it and, even though they were brand new, I had to change them a day after buying it for a set of Continental ContiPremiumContact 5 because they simply couldn`t handle even a minor puddle at speed

[@photilal1960]

I agree with the rear end thing, and the condensation in the light is another hint

[@rxcdeath1]

condensation is normal in taillights of hyundai's! lol my genesis coupe had tons, i literally had to drain the taillight and re silicone it. now its good though

[@BeanyB0b]

Bumpers often look different colors from the rest of the car because they are plastic, but since it's a metallic color it could also be changing in the light. At around 3:52 you can see that it's the same color as the trunk but the trunk fades to the color of the side of the car.

[@nicologarcia]

yeah, the trunk too looks a little misaligned with all the wide panel gaps

[@tysonb8328]

MyNameIsPhil nah. My 2016 accent both front and rear bumpers are different shades of silver where my whole body is silver. Just how the paint lays on these bumpers. Look at any newer car very closely you'll drive yourself crazy trying to figure out why. That's just how it is unfortunately.

[@SDav21]

Yes the steering wheel looks good because it is not leather. It is a polyurethane wheel which is used for lower trim levels. Also, I don't think you should compare interior build quality in that way. Maybe the cars you bought in the past weren't that well looked after. This car isn't that old. It just has a lot of miles so I don't think the amounts of use correlates with the miles. A car with one owner who maybe had no passengers who also looked after their car will obviously look better than one who did.

here's the funny thing. you're probably not old enough to remember when hyundai came to the US with the Accent. a total shitbox. It was like 6k or 8k in 1985 or so. one of its primary marketing strategies was to emphasize that it had a Panasonic stereo as if this meant he wasn't a cheap shitbox. in the intervening 30 years the Korean brands have really stepped up their game. a close friend had a bad wreck in a Sonata and walked away from it (turned in front of a speeding Mustang gt and was t-boned...in Florida). since your wife doesn't sound like a car person (yet) this is a good starter.

[@MrJerry8159]

Tires are SO much better made today, that IMHO feeling you need a spare tire is more for your own peace of mind. I've been driving for 52 years and have yet to put on a spare tire while on the road. Even if there is an issue like a nail etc, you can get it to a tire shop for repair almost all the time. I've had that once or twice. I did buy a double cylinder tire pump that connects to the battery which will pump up a flat time in 1 1/2 minutes for more asssurance. It fits on my 2013 Elantra in one of the two impressions where the spare would be. The other impression (closest to the bumper) has a nice charged up battery starter if your battery should run too low to start. I feel w/ those two items I won't worry about breakdowns. I also maintain my car w/ hoses and belts etc. Cars are much more reliable now days so I'm good to go on a trip out of town w/ little worries. And yes, got good tires as well!

Very nice purchase, guy~ I have a 2011 Elantra GLS with 6-spd manual that I use to deliver medical goods across my state. I bought it when new in June 2011 and I drove it to 371k miles with very little in the way of problems and ZERO breakdowns. So you've still got quite a lot of miles to put on this car before you can worry about anything failing at all. The 1.8L produces 148 HP and 131 lb-ft of torque. I've never heard of those tires, but mine came new with the Hankook Optimo H426 which is an Environment rated tire designed for Low Rolling Resistance to provide an increase in fuel economy on highway driving. I've gone through four sets of them and have driven between 70-80k miles on each set for 85-90% highway miles. You and your wife enjoy the awesome car!

I have the same car, in grey. I love the body shape of my 2013 versus any newer one. I’m adding mods to the body only, not messing with the engine at all (maybe add a K&N filter ) nice car dude !

[@kaibaumgartner7721]

I dare you to put a trailer hitch on it and tow that trailer in the background

[@Mr.Worf63]

Yours is the GLS and has a 1.8Ltr 148 Hp motor . I think being a Florida car heated seats wouldn't be necessary . I have the 2016 Elantra GT / GL Auto . Great car !!

[@dylanw9412]

Mr. Worf I have the same car in Grey! How do you like it?

[@Mr.Worf63]

Dylan Wodrich Loving it !!!

[@Mr.Worf63]

Dylan Wodrich Still enjoying my GT , its Silver / Grey . I put 17" Rims & Tires on it plus LED Headlights , Taillights , Turn signals and interior LEDs . The H7 LED was the toughest to install . 😎

[@superflyingyoshidude]

I drive a silver 2012 elantra, good stuff. Only thing mine needs is some alloy rims, the steel with plastic caps really isn't cutting it.

[@therealken_7962]

How’s it going now?

[@xldeadsniperlx3219]

I got an Elantra with 150k miles it currently about to hit 210k and my boii is still going strong minimal maintenance just regular oil change every 7.5k miles works amazing air conditioner and everything

[@Selawii47]

why are people hating in him some people forget that cars most of the time is just to get you from point a to point b not all people are car enthusiast

[@IonutAlexandruConstantinescu]

Rear bumper was charged , check the colour difference , also the water in the stop light is an indication that is was hit from behind.

[@uncreativename9936]

Nice! Honestly I'd take this over your Merc lol. Apart from towing what can the Merc do that this can't?

[@tavarish]

Be a Mercedes.

[@jamespatrick6939]

have leather seats, slide on the highway and its german not korean

[@matt4398]

you must be thinking of old kias, every model kia have front and rear disk brakes for years now and stop faster than their honda, toyota, Chevrolet etc... competitors in class. the cheapest $13,000 rio had rear disk years ago

[@7privet_]

cooled, heated, massage seats

[@Carcentralknowledge]

uncreativename we have an s class and the difference is day and night buddy. Learn cars and then come back

[@claddagh1000]

Why are people saying the bumper looks repaired/Repainted?? The Bumpers on these are plastic and have Flex in the paint which sometimes looks a shade diff color. I see it a lot. Jokers

[@Elantrakid]

I've had those tyres before and they're actually pretty good tyres in the rain. And I think it has 400 threadware so they're fantastic for highway driving.I've mostly had Korean cars and I can safely say they're more reliable than people think so dont listen to people telling you it won't last and what not.That model Elantra is one of the best ever made and it should give you a hell of alot more miles without issue. Also this particular model actually has the 1.6 Gamma engine that produces 143HP and 138 ft lbs of torque.

[@marcusmacdonald2442]

I have a 2015 GLS Elantra, she drives like a dream, 2.0 L engine has noticable torque and power. Great car, closely comparable to my Subaru Impreza torque wise!

[@ryanrohauer5940]

a big reason cars don't come with spares is because they can test it with out the spare. no spare= less weight = better mileage. every bit counts and they save money by not including it and by offering to sell it to you after sale

[@troy9er]

They omitted the spare to save weight. That car can get almost 40 MPG on the highway!! I bought my wife a Limited w/o Nav in 2015. I purchased the spare tire kit just to be safe in case of a flat. The pump it came with includes that can of fix a flat! We love ours and I got it for the same price a Hyundai employee would pay. It was almost $6000.00 off MSRP

[@alansmith2162]

I liked the Elantra so much, I bought it twice. Both my wife and I have one. No cheap chinese tires, Pirellis all around for us! Good to see it'll break 150K miles without any major issues.

[@bnsf981]

Owns Aston, Mercedes, Dually, pair of Lexus' and a Porsche... buys wife a high mileage Hyundai. Trollololol.

[@jaguar123987x]

his out of money lol+ her wife is new to driving so if she crashes it he doesn't give a shit because it's a Hyundai!

[@pmvaldez1]

No woman is worthy of a new car.

[@mohamedshour4529]

the rear bumper is resprayed but probably the previous owner just resprayed it because of some scratches or so, not necessarily because of an accident damage. enjoy it

[@DaveGringo]

267k miles on my '99 camry that I bought when it was a year old with 14k on it... No engine or transmission issues aside from 2 valve cover gaskets and a throttle body complete cleaning off the car, 3 timing belts, 3 radiators, 2 cooling fan motors, 1 set of struts and motor mounts and tie rod ends. That's about it.... Original alternator, starter, AC parts (live in FL) and a repaint...

[@williamfarmer9896]

I had a 2007 hyundai Sonata and I traded it in 2012 when it had 170.000 miles, it still ran great and was a amazing car. I only got rid of it cause I wanted something new. I regret that decision all the time. It was such a great car. I now have a 2017 Hyundai Elantra and I really love it a lot. Hyundai and Kia have now become one of the big boys. BTW the 17 elantra's do have spare tire

[@roberttownend406]

Liam Rowe

[@jdawg9481]

This is just a GL model. GLS has Leather wrapped steering wheel, heated seats etc. Also In Canada we do get the spare tire at no extra cost. Must be something in our laws that they have to have it in ours.

[@loveslife7334]

I'm a owner of a 2012 Hyundai Elantra limited. Hyundai's are great car's!! The can of S**t sucks for the spare tire. When you use it you will have to replace the tire anyway. The tire form eats the tire insides up. I've been driving Hyundai Elantra's since 2002! I've had a 2002, 2004, 2007 and two 2012's. A VERY SAFE CAR!!! My 2012 saved my life 3yrs ago when I was hit head side on by a drunk driver going the wrong way! I had a 6 month concussion and a broken hand..I still walked away with my LIFE!! You will enjoy the car. I have 65,000 miles on my 2012 limited now!!! Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to the Hyundai Family!! Cheers😊

[@ashleypate6460]

It looks like it’s smiling at you. Haha Makes me smile too.

[@brad3201]

It's been 6 years since you made the video, I'm curious as to how the Hyundai held up

[@dlaroc]

I got an 09 Elantra with 169 thousand a year ago and it’s holding up so far. Except for the damn TPMS light. Keeps coming on when my tire pressure is fine.

[@gabel4038]

DLAROC you just gotta replace the tpms sensors, just buy a kit with 4 sensors from amazon, and ask for an tire shop do the service thanks

[@rondeb7708]

We just bought a 2015 Elantra GT at $12,998 with 37,000 and has all the bells and whistles. We have had it for 3 months and drives smooth wife is over joyed. Stopped buying new cars since 1989, and every one of the used cars we have owned were excellent cars. Just can't see buying a new car and loose 10 to 15% in blue book driving it off the lot after signing the deal.. With the Carfax able to tell everything on the history and a good 1 week option at CarMax if not happy with the car after 7 days return back for total money spent on it. My man here got a great car at an outstanding deal. Shows used cars purchasing and good history check and you to can find all kinds of great deals!

[@rondeb7708]

Well August 11,2017 the Hyundai 2015 GT Elantra is still doing great. Just over 3,000 miles, will keep post updated.

[@Nicholas_1988]

This guy now plays with lambos, ferraris, McLarens & Aston Matins. He started with making videos on Hyundais. Everyone needs to start somewhere… what matters is where you want to go!!! 👍

[@danielweinstein6018]

Freddy, I love watching your videos. Definitely a big fan. Anyways, I recently owned a 2009 Hyundai Sonata (Limited?) that I bought with 138,000 and sold with roughly 150,000. For the $4000 I paid for it, it was definitely a steal. Quiet interior, very ergonomic, heated leather, XM, larger factory discs, etc. These are excellent cars and very capable of going into higher mileages. I've noticed that Hyundai engines tend not to sound so great to the trained ear, but I've learned that most sound like that at higher mileages and it doesn't tend to be an indicator of the actual mechanical health. Congrats!

[@xkrnxboix]

Easiest way to spot a Limited trim is that it comes with a sunroof.

[@xkrnxboix]

If I remember correctly, 2012 Hyundai Elantra has a gas reimbursement rebate thing from HYUNDAI because of their misrepresentation of their advertised MPG.

[@banstaman]

Limiteds also come with leather and a smartkey

[@UnitedRecording]

2012 limited has turn signal mirrors, leather, heated seats, moonroof, and available navigation, and standard low profile tires with bigger wheels. smart key wasn't available in 12. this has a newer model year front end... the 12 did not have that type of grille.

[@dhruvdogra1491]

for 5500$ it's a good deal.For that price you get 2001 civic which have 100k on their odo

[@dhruvdogra1491]

part of the reason might be that Hyundai Elantras resale value is low

[@nafiztube]

Why would he want a 2001 year car when he can get a 2012 for the same price?-.-

[@redey1290]

100k on Honda civics are nothing for the motor, they can go 200k easy if you maintain it well

[@litdoe7021]

Redey1290 i have a 2012 elantra gls 60k miles and an 08 civic lx with 207,400ish miles and engine and tranny r in great shape. only problems i have on civic r cosmetic and struts problems ,engines quiet

[@Yondaily]

Redey1290 I had a lot of problems when I purchase my 2001 Honda Civic it was a huge pain transmission problems

[@wesleyjones1169]

165,000 miles on a 2012 Elantra that's unreal. I have a 2007 Volkswagen New Beetle that just turned 32,000 miles and had it when I first purchased it new with only 12 miles. Unreal!

[@Albertolemus]

Freddy, the tires are just good enough. Don't waste your money on more expensive tires when you don't need them. These aren't the best, but they're good enough for your wife. I have the same tires on my Mazda 3 for over a year now and they're great to daily drive

[@photilal1960]

I absolutely agree. I understand the importance of good tires but if its got excellent tread, is still pliable, and not cracked or rotting then why the hell not?

[@ns9743]

Hyundais are soo reliable tbh
