2002 Elantra warranty (maybe)
My neighbor just bought a 2002 Elantra. It was in an accident and it has a
restored title. It has 15,000 original miles. Does he have any warranty left on this Elantra??? |

There are salvage titles, but I've never heard of a restored title. I would doubt (but I sure don't know...) that a salvage car would have any manufacturer's warranty. -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |

If your neighbor is okay with you posting the VIN, I can run it and let
you know what Hyundai says. |

Thanks Hyundaitech, He is driving it to Memphis right now, when he gets
back I will ask him for the VIN. (I guess it is called a "salvage" title) mule |

In that case, there's probably no warranty, but it cannot hurt to check.

I have an original '04 GT Elantra with 38,000 mi and they will not honor any warranty on anything so far! They tell me most everything is only 36000 mi. warranty. Paint is peeling off, stereo dials turns up the volume when turning down, sun-roof leaks etc etc etc. They tell me it is supposed to leak. ;-) Edmond, Oklahoma Hyundai |

They only cover what is specified in the warranty agreement. Kinda sucks, when something like paint fails, but that's the way it is. I guess the upside is that you can be glad the real warranty coverage hasn't been needed. -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |

However, if you first report an issue prior to the expiration, they will usually honor it past the warranty period if they weren't able to address it adequately prior to warranty end. Were all of the problems listed above things that cropped up in just the last 2000 miles? That seems incredulous to me, but I guess anything is possible. Matt |

Salvage titles mean one thing - the car was declared to be junk before it was fixed up for sale. -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |

Also, I strongly suggest bypassing the dealer and going right to Hyundai Customer Service. You'll get more out of them than you will out of the dealer. |
