Hyundai and Kia suffer from one specific disadvantage in resale value: their
warranty. Your shiny new Hyundai is a used car the moment you drive it off
the lot. That means when it's sold, the 10/100 powertrain warranty
evaporates, leaving you with the basic 5/60. Ever tried to purchase a 5 year
powertrain warranty on a used car? That is the equivalent value lost in the
transition between new and used.

That's still better than the 3/36 on many new cars. I am more inclined to
believe that Kia and Hyundai take a big depreciation hit because many people
still think of them as being junk, they're not anymore, at least not all of
them, But that reputation is hard to shake. That coupled with the fact that
for whatever reasons, it seems like Hyundai and Kia dealers bend over
backwards to try to void the warranty and make you pay for everything. My
sister has a 2000(?) Kia Rio with 15,500 miles on it that has been trouble
from the day she purchased it, and she swears she will never buy another. I
have a 2005 Hyundai Accent, My first Hyundai, Probably will be my last,
Great little car, lousy dealer. My brother lost one Hyundai in hurricane
Katrina, and traded the other one in shortly after, Neither replacement is a
Hyundai. In my opinion, Hyundai has come a long way but needs to clean up
its act with many of their dealers, It's hard to build customer loyalty when
the dealers try to screw everybody.
