Honda Bumper Backs Into Elantra Bumper
 

OUR 2003 ELANTRA BUMPER IS THE LEAST DAMAGED--minimal--the Honda is
reportedly showing damage.

This is not a controlled scientific test, while there should be some
other smiling Elantrans seeing this note.

They will not be smiling at trade in time. When they find out a Honda is
worth 3 times what their Hundee is.

now that I find funny.. considering when I traded my 2000 Elantra wagon in I
got almost what I paid for it 4 years later and they sold it for what it
sold for BRAND new..;-) bought a 2004 Elantra GT and traded that in 18
months later, again got almost what I paid for it and they sold it for what
it sold for BRAND new.. bought a 2006 Santa Fe.. because the colour I
bought is no longer available, I have been offered MORE Than I paid for it 5
months ago. GO FIGURE.. and YOU say Honda's hold their resale BETTER than
Hyundai???? hmmmmmmmmmmm might wanna recheck that..;-)

Depends on how long you keep your vehicles. I keep mine at least 10
years or 200,000 miles and at that point they are generally worth next
to nothing anyway. And three times nothing is still nothing.

If you are one of those folks that trades for a new car every two or
three years, then, yes, the trade-in value can be a significant issue.
Even so, a Honda will hardly be worth three times more than a Hyundai.
Maybe 1/3 more...

I've never had to worry about the 10 year issue before I hit the
200,000 mark. :)
