rear wheek drive that I can control some of my repair cost, Ilike my
Sonata and have taken good care of it but I'm going to let it rest a
little more!

Do you really think that buying and maintaining a second car is cheaper
than maintaining your Sonata?

Re: 2001 sonata timing belt times (2) 3 1/2 hrs.
Re Matt; My sonata has been one of the most dependable cars, not the best
but close after owning around 45 cars and trucks, in my 70+ years.I bought
a new mustang in 1966 drove it 6 years with a point condenser and plug
change.1984 Dodge 4cyclinder 5 speed caravan I wish I had back, no trouble
except for a coil 4 years.a 1951 chevrolet got near new drove 6 years no
truoble.It's like they say if you own two pair of shoes and you wear one
pair one day and the other pair the next day they last longer.(a No
brainer!)In other words if my Hyundai fuel pump goes tomorrow and I don't
have $350.00 bucks at the time I will drive my retro with fuel pump of
$20.00 _ thanks

But having two pairs of shows still costs you more per day than one pair
as some deterioration is age dependent not just mileage dependent. Same
for cars.

I was thinking more of rubber and plastic parts, etc. Now, I realize
that when you go back 75 years, the plastic was steel or wool or some
such material! However, I believe even the Model T had rubber tires and
other rubber parts that deteriorate over time from UV, ozone, etc.
