"Hyundai's Accent affordably decent"
 

Hyundai's Accent affordably decent
Having spent the past decade rehabilitating itself, this Korean
carmaker is now turning out some very decent product at a relatively
affordable price.

Re: "Hyundai's Accent affordably decent"
 

The time to buy a new one: Imho: If you can wait toward the end of the
year.

At the un-bait & un-switch type of close-out sales (of the dust
catcher/shop-worn merchandise that costs the dealer interest-payments),
and sometimes its hard to tell what the deception in the ad is.

One or two Accents (etal models)
--at a dealer--with automatic & air might become available at maybe
$10,000 or less, as they have seemingly been in some past years--I've
seen 'em for $8000 with air5 & automatic a couple years ago.

The trick/problem/gimmick/reality is that the dealer certainly needs to
make it back, so the maintenance fees particularly at 30,000 & 60,000
miles aren't gonnabe such terrific ideal consumer bargains of course.

Think $500--$800 more or less for each 30,000 & 60,000 timing belt
service.

Imho: to feel secure about the car's/your future, also buy their
extended bumper-to-bumper service contract, $700--$1200, more or less I
suppose.

Finance thru Hyundai's 0 percent or whatever, or perhaps through a
credit union rather than the usual suspect banks in order to save a few
hundred bucks per year.

It's a jungle out here, so bring your micro elephant weapon--more
information and better resistance to intimidation & lies than should be
allowed.

Re: "Hyundai's Accent affordably decent"
 

re: 60,000 miles is timing belt change (not 30,000 miles)

Yes, and at 30,000 miles, the required services would amount to
approximately $400--$800. at a dealer service dept.

I've heard (hear-say) it's more expensive for Ford F p/up maintenance
requirements, tough its something we customers don't like to think
about w/o heightening of blood pressure.

If anybody reading this has some kind of link that compares servicing
requirements/prices for the various makes & models of all or of many
vehicles/models, then it might be "fun" & velly interesting to see.

Re: "Hyundai's Accent affordably decent"
 

I did not find the Hyundai list on line soI wouldlike a link or
pointer if someone has one. I did find a brochure (several really)
for various dealers. The one in Ohio that I read was 200 - 300 for
the 30K service. Looks like the coolant change and Auto transmission
oil change stack up. A DIY like me will do it for under 100 and
probably under 50 as I don't buy automatics. That said I don't
begrudge the dealer this price, he has to eat and pay his mechanic. A
fair chunk is probably going for disposal of the coolant. 400 to
$800 says you live in NYC or are being gouged. (Same thing, really)
