2005 Elantra for 11K? Good deal?
 

Looking for a decent car for a 21 yr old college kid

Came across a 2005 Elantra at local dealer

I don't know anything abt Hyundai

We drove it and it seems like a nice vehicle

Had 19k miles on it..... AC... power door locks and
windows

Nothing fancy.... just basic accessories

Advice?

That's about right for used Elantra pricing around here (Central NY), but
most of the listed Elantras have quite a few more options. I'd look a bit
more, or work on driving a couple thousand off that price. Have you tried
looking on Edmunds.com to compare dealer asking price to what's out there?
Where are you located?

What model? GLS, GT.
5 speed or auto? 4 door or hatchback?
Should also have power steering, power brakes with ABS
CD. Power mirrors. As another poster suggested, try Edmunds.
