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

Hey Pete,
Being an owner of a Hyundai Elantra 02 myself, I m happy to read this
and would like to believe it to. But edmonds.com and kbb.com do not say
the same thing! They show the values depreciated by at least 50% after
4 yrs! My Elantra 02 is as clean and well-maintained as it can be. Only
has some dents on the sides from the doors of cars parked adjacent to
mine in the carport (can't help it!!!) Any suggestions on what you did
to get such a good trade-in price?

well I traded it in on an 06 Santa Fe from the same dealer I bought it
from... and was the 3rd I had bought from them so they prolly gave me a
above average trade in...

And often you pay more for the vehicle you are buying when you have a
trade so you lose a little on that end of the deal also.

well considering I got it less than list price, I doubt it..;-) it was to
make me feel better after the Elantra.. had 14 problems with it in 18
months.. including having a new clutch put in it at 12,000 Kilos... bent
throughout bearing.... 4 different stereo systems.. but the last straw was
them telling me that the top end needed to be done at 21,000 thats when we
decided to trade it in....
