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

[@airthrow]

You can tell a guy is a car nut when he's geeked for an Elantra with 160k

[@carsaregood911]

I was thinking the opposite lol

[@iknight1]

Nah. I think it depends on the person. Side note nice name.

[@Saleen5000]

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.

[@airthrow]

Samamah Mohammed Sure the Mazda 3 is a much better car, but my wife is a new driver too and immediately got into an accident, wish it was in some beater Elantra -_-

[@treylennon4858]

airthrow I guess I am too cause I chose this video over a video on a Koenigsegg

[@dougn2350]

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.

[@yeahthatshouldwork]

Soon as you pointed out the USB charging cord that was included I knew you made a really good purchase.

[@lawrencehodge6273]

$5500 bucks? That looks like a 13 grand car. You got a good deal.

[@eman0828]

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

[@calebniederhofer678]

5500! is way too high with the miles , I wouldn’t even have touched it unless it was around 3k.

currently fixing my 2013 elantra, i just got in a crash and they were telling us to total it since repairs were over $5k! me and my dad instead brought it to his home garage and are almost done fixing it completely for under $1500-1600. great experience and the car’s reliable daily drivability is completely worth having

[@andrewmutters8338]

I have those tires on my 2015 Azera , they are good in rain and dry conditions, but suck in any ice or snow. You’re in Florida, so you’re good. I just bought a 2013 with 167,000 miles for my daughters first car.

[@alexp6016]

Damn! My mom has a 2013 with 48,000-ish miles. Nice to see how they hold up well after 166k miles. Looks in about the same condition as hers! By the way, it's a 1.8 liter with 148 hp and number of torque that's probably so small it doesn't even matter.

[@johnfarnham7288]

Government got involved and hp claim was later downrated to 145 on my 2014. Torque is decent at 131 lbs-ft.

[@NorthernForester]

How has it held up over time?

[@alexp6016]

@@NorthernForester Lol, funny story... rod bearings were noisy as hell at 80k miles. Short block was replaced under warranty. By the time it had reached 99k, it wasn't sounding the best, but it was still running fine. Sold it with no time to spare on that powertrain warranty and replaced it with a Volvo XC90 V8. That has been great!

[@alexp6016]

@@NorthernForester Don't get me wrong, the Elantra was a great car, but they can have their issues. They can be very good, or they can have issues like my mom's did. 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.

[@guitardude0909]

I owned a 2011 Elantra just like this one .. It had 90k miles on it and drove amazing. I got in a car wreck with it and got about 10k from Insurance for the vehicle. these cars are designed to perform well and the quality for the money ratio is outstanding.

Nice car! I sold my Honda Civic 2003 EX for $3,500 in Mexico with 190,000 kilometers. With new shock absorbers, new wheels, new motor support and transimision repaired.

[@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.

[@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

Good on you mate! They're not a bad car at all. I had one of these as a work car and they do their job well

I actually just bought a 2011 Hyundai Elantra GLS 6MT but since I have a Canadian Market car, I have heated front and rear seats and a sunroof in addition to everything on your wife's car.

[@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

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...

[@GreenDovesIRL]

4 years ago I bought a 2007 seat cordoba 1.4 tdi for 1.700 euro with 157k miles on it. from a nissan dealership, no service history. No national car testing cert for 2 years. only needed tyres and 2 front control arms (costed about 400euro) it got tested without any problem at all after that. drove it for almost 2 years and sold it for 3.700euro :) clearly the dealership took it in as trade in and wanted it gone asap so got it at the same price they offered the customer when they brought it to them :)

Great buy. A high mileage highway driven car is always better than a low mileage short journey moms car.

[@rave2600rave]

Would have been a good opportunity for a "how to buy video" I hope there's one coming up

[@t4705mb6]

Highway miles are the best. That's what was on my '16 GT. Nice car. No problems at all after I upgraded the horrible hard stiff Asian tires and ultra cheap brakes.

[@josburd6429]

Good video Interior on vehicle starts at 5.30

[@IKhanNot]

Ehhh it's all highway miles. No biggie. Had a 1999 Toyota Corolla which had 412,000kms (or about 257,000 miles) when I gave it away to a family member. He ended up crashing it not too long after but it would have still been going today. 5000km oil changes, 4 new shocks at $65 a piece and 2 new CV axles, and plugs was all I did to it. Even the AC still worked.

[@624radicalham]

This isn't a Corolla God knows how this Hyundai will fare overall with even higher miles. Not to mention the transmission.

[@IKhanNot]

Radical AM Any basic 4 cylinder car will do fine. Probably an Aisin tranny in this car anyway so it will be solid. If you want to be concerned with transmissions look no further than the units installed in many Hondas and Acuras. Between clutch pack failures to TC chatter no brand is void of issues. With Hyundais it seems the trim falls apart on some but mechanically they hold up just fine. Shit, I've seen high mileage Cavaliers on the road.

[@Yondaily]

Djonkie Bonk ehh no biggie 1999 Toyota Corolla 412,000 is nothing your so boring go away

[@IKhanNot]

yonda ila Did I put salt in your coffee? I was reassuring him he'll be good for the long run as my old car still ran well at higher miles.

[@NoPointOfThis123]

Djonkie Bonk I'm the second owner of an 03 Accord and it's at 259k miles now

[@hunglukenguyen]

Check your suspension, old cars can have bad tie rod ends (very dangerous if in bad or loose condition), I just checked my Honda CR-Z at 130k miles, $300 for the shop to replace. Also, struts and coils

[@emmexfyv]

I had one similar as a rental and it was not a bad car. 160k would not scare me at all if 2 things: (1) the price was right and (2) there were records on carfax or on paper of regular oil changes and at least two trans flushes in that time. If so, good to go.

[@dzonikg]

I have renault laguna with 340 000 km on the clock which is 210 000 miles...replaced turbo but engine already drinks lot off oil so soon will need total rebuild or to be sold..but in my country you can turn back the clock on the car ...its not a crime..90% off people do it :D I like this elantra but for year 2013 here cost 10 000 euros which is 11 000$

[@tazrugby]

I have a 2010 Elantra with 428,000 miles.

[@DiyDadFL]

Honestly, if this car is well taken care of, you can double the mileage on this car without any major issues. Hyundai's are very solid. My friend has a 2016 Elantra Base with a 6 speed manual and I have a 2015 Ford Focus SE and I prefer his car over mine. I have 17k miles on my car, he has nearly 30k. I bought my car about 6 months after he bought his and I've already had to have service work done on my car.

[@Stressless2023]

Never had to have any service work done on my '14 Focus hatch, lease is almost up with about 28k on it. I'd pick a Ford over anything Korean.

[@DiyDadFL]

My rear passenger window was broke two weeks after I bought the car and the clutch has been giving me issues. But this one has been a lot more reliable over my 2012 Focus I had. I traded my 2012 in with 23k miles on it. Also, my 2015 has a recall on all the door latches that could fail. Waiting for the parts from Ford to get my doors fixed.

[@Stressless2023]

haru Cars and household appliances are not the same thing.

[@Stressless2023]

haru Lol. Goodbye.

[@aquaticko]

I've thought that, for a long while now, Hyundai have had mechanical reliability taken care of. Now, seeing how well the trim bits have held up over so many miles, I'm even more sure that when my 10-year old, 133k mile Subaru Forester dies, I'll be getting a used Ioniq.

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.

[@marcdobin]

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.

Bought my 2005 Elantra new. Been 16yrs and 336k miles. Still going strong. Now, if I only take care of myself as well as my car.... lol

[@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.

[@Fuckingenius]

5500$ and its like a new car... its only 4 years old.

[@NamingGaming]

but 165,000 is not new

[@egonbencegabor3615]

it will do fine for taking home the groceries... its a petrol engine, no huge repair cost will be imminent in the close future.

[@TheJBMasterpiece]

+josh mcbride yes it is. That has another 165 left in it easily

[@TheJBMasterpiece]

+J Smith lots of highway miles in a short time isn't a big deal if it was maintained well

[@TheJBMasterpiece]

+J Smith Sometimes true, but unless it's a major engine or transmission problem, parts are a lot cheaper than payments and depreciation

[@calebniederhofer678]

5500 is high with the miles , but I agree it looks like it’s been maintained very well.

[@angelmaldonado5657]

A 2011 elantra with 120k miles that looks like it’s as clean as his both inside and out, clean title etc. you think it’s worth $6000? That’s how much he offering me

[@magsmaggie4862]

the tires are not that bad, they are not premium and they are not junk

[@Aku112811]

@ 8:50 correct a 1.8 4 cylinder. Produces 148 hp and 131 torque. Nice car and such a great price! You should replace the shocks with that Milage. Trust me ,you'll notice a huge difference.

[@BC2249]

With 165K, an upgrade in tires, new KYB rear shocks and new rear brake pads / rotors will transform your car. It's a car you can easily get excited about!

[@davidhildebrand8894]

The real question is, “Why did you buy such a piece of junk?” I got rid of mine last week, and I’m glad it’s gone! Wait for knocking and piston slap to set in. Dude, get something better like a Volkswagen Jetta TDI. This thing is a rolling junkyard.

[@twinkeez2003]

I have this same car but mines is a 2013. I bought it with 40,000 miles and paid $7,200.... I love mines so much!

[@JasonT2300]

twinkeez2003 how is it so far? Still going strong?

[@Bimmer624]

did you have to replace the engine?

[@artvuilleumier5702]

Have a 2004 Hyundai Elantra GT with 230000+ Miles runs great with only regular maintenance

[@ferndog1461]

Bro, what Hyundai model years do you recommend? I need to buy a 7-10 year old car for ~$6000. Thanks.

[@neidajr]

How expensive are the regular maintenance services?

[@mrobles801]

I have a 2002 Elantra GLS 5 speed manual with 298,000 1 clutch replacement and regular maintenance it has been extremely reliable

[@Major_Mason]

ferndog1461 I recommend a 2011 Hyundai Elantra. Awesome safety, economy, luxuries, quality, etc. If you want a newer infotainment system get a 2013-2014 model year.

[@ferndog1461]

@@Major_Mason thanks for heads up!

[@Dufas46]

I just a bought a 2013. You have a very nice car. Just a FYI my son found a cabin filter behind the clove box that was filthy affects air flow to vents.. My car has 46,000 miles on it. Car is a 1.8 liter 148HP i believe.

[@davidmcclellan2786]

I just picked up a 2018 Elantra with 34k on it, only paid 7500 for it. I will agree with him about the AC in these cars, best AC I've ever seen.

[@jeffymathew5190]

That's crazy deal. where did you buy it from?

[@MrJerry8159]

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!. My 2013 GLS w/ 86K might be worth 7K if I were to sell it. Well maintained, looks great and same color as yours.

[@daddygiadaddy_daughter7542]

Just got the 2013 and i hated it at first bu now I love my car save on gas good power for my city in Vegas

[@supremo6415]

That's a STEAL!!! The salty comments here are hilarious! jelly much i guess?, LOLOLOL!!!!

[@Lestergreen77]

Supremo for that high of miles... hell no it ain’t

[@rickjones2022]

I have an 08 Elantra with a quarter million miles on it. It runs terrific and takes me anywhere around the country I wish to go. I bought it 4 years ago for fourteen hundred bucks with 180 thousand miles on it. It seems to run better now then when I bought it! I only do basic fluid changes When needed and 1 tune up done last year.

[@dezzux]

Looks great, no wonder you're excited!

[@ronaldderooij1774]

That is the kind of car that interests me most. A lot of qualities for minimal cost.

[@kaibaumgartner7721]

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

[@bigboyindaho0d]

5500 bucks ? You could have gotten a 2005 Acura MDX with 140,000 miles 10x better then that thing
