Question: I'm thinking of trying to buy a hyundai elantra...?

It is a used car, year 2006, with 22, 600 miles and is $7, 995. Does that sounds like a good deal. I had a rental car a couple years ago. In 2007 I rented a Hyundai Sonata (full- size car) and took it 1/ 3 across the country and back. Good little car. Hyundai Elantra is an intermediate sized car. I don't know... is that Japanese or Korean? I think it sounds like a decent deal. Good mileage too. The pictures look good. I might go test drive it this week. Thoughts? Car experts out there?

Hyundai is a South Korean car company. The Elantra is a decent automobile and that is certainly low mileage for a 4 year old car. Take it for a test spin and see how you like it. If you like the feel of it and decide to go for it, make sure to have a pre-sale inspection performed at a shop or dealer or YOUR choice. Spending a few bucks now on a pre-purchase inspection can save you hundreds, possibly even thousands of dollars on unanticipated repairs.

Well the figures seem nice but it depends if car has not met any accidents or has suffered some great damage.....check for all that and if u cant ....take a mechanic with u for inspection....

The Elantra is a good car and well worth considering. It's impossible to give you an accurate appraisal without actually seeing the car first hand. The price seems a bit on the high side depending on which trim line if it's an automatic. It's probably at least $1,000 too high if it's a manual.

$8k for a 4 year old Hyundai? Are you NUTS???? It's not even worth $6k. Hyundai is more reliable than American cars but still far behind the Japanese. Only reason to buy a Hyundai is its low price thanks in part to their horrible resale value.

Plenty of good ones for $8k.
