Re: If your mileage is greater than 80,000 tell us if youve neededrepairs
 

My 2001 elantra VE had 140,000 miles on it when I traded it in for a 2006
Santa fe.
did all services, (oil, timing belt etc as per dealer)
Changed the brakes once, and the front wheel bearing were started to go when
i traded it in.
all and all a great car for the money

Re: If your mileage is greater than 80,000 tell us if youve neededrepairs
 

My 1996 Hyundai Accent now has 208,800 miles on it. As you would expect,
there are parts that have worn out or gone bad, some twice. The gas tank
has been replaced. The water pump twice. I have no complaints.

Re: If your mileage is greater than 80,000 tell us if youve neededrepairs
 

1998 Sonata 111,000 Miles

replaced/work done
Brake job, battery, tires, normal wear and tear stuff...(wiper blades :)

CV Joints
Main Pulley/Harmonic Balancer & belts
Engine Mounts
High pressure A/C hose.
Valve cover gasket

Might need to replace a hose in the power steering, starting to see some
leakage.

I'm the Third owner, was originally leased to a rental car agency, so I'm
sure it was abused or driven harshly. If that were not the case, I think it
would be in better shape, but is still a solid car.
Car rides nice, handles ok. If properly taken care of, it should go another
100,000+ in my book.

Dave,

We have a 1989 Sonata with over 310,000 miles on it. Rebuilt the
cylinder head at about 250,000, replaced radiator at about 200,000,
and replaced two timing belts over the life (yes, yes, I know that's
way too long an interval between timing belt replacements, but they
made it!). Other than that it's just been brakes, muffler, etc. --
normal wear items. We still drive it with no current problems.

We have a 1999 Sonata with 94,500 miles that has had rear wheel
bearings replaced and two recalls -- one for transmission
reprogramming and one to replace O2 sensors.

We have a 2001 Sonata with 54,600 miles on it that had the A/C
condenser coil replaced (under warranty).

The overall cost to keep all of these running (even the '89) has been
about a half cent per mile (we do the brakes, etc. ourselves). We
couldn't be happier with them.

Is this an auto or manual transmission vehicle? If manual, how long
have your clutches lasted?

Re: If your mileage is greater than 80,000 tell us if youveneededr...
 

'1997 Elantra, 1.8 Beta engine, AT, presently has 227000 miles. Biggest
repair bill I've had was a rebuilt trannie around 160000 miles.
Everything else has been just wear and tear items. timing belts, fan
belts, brakes, tires, front wheel bearing. AC still works fine. The
engine uses maybe a pint of oil between changes(3000 miles). I'm a
courier and I use my Elantra for my job'

REPLY: This is quite remarkable indeed. The motor hasnt needed a valve
job yet ? Does the car see mostly in town driving with you being a
Courier ? Thanks.
