Ok, that's it, I'm closing my business and going to work for Hyundai
Just a few short months ago, an acquaintance told me she purchased a
fully loaded V6 Sonata. We were on the phone so I felt free to express my contempt by shaking my head in disdain. What did I know about Hyundai then? Absolutely nothing. It was a perception, as someone else pointed out, more of a prejudice. Then I saw the car. I was taken aback because it was so attractive, allowing a slight opening of my mind about Hyundai. That's when I found this NG and Hyundai Connection, and have made a complete turnaround. Even though I haven't purchased my car yet (that will happen in April when current Accord lease terminates), I am more than enthusiastic about Hyundai, I've become a crusader and feel its my mission in life to save future car buyer's everywhere :). I post on a women's shopping board where anything and everything is discussed. One woman posted a request for recommendations for a used car. Her mother only had $5,000 to spend (to which I later learned the poster was going to contribute to), fixed or lower income bracket, the car absolutely had to be reliable. I made quite a presentation, and all the reasons why to consider a used Accent and told her, under no circumstances, is she to listen to anyone's opinion who does not own a Hyundai. (I may have even repeated that a couple of times :). I also provided info about this NG and Hyundai Connection, and Edmund's. Other posters, of course were recommending used Honda, Nissan, Toyota, warning her about reliability and resale value. Look what she posted today: current topic: Re: Thanks to everyone for your car advice! :) 1. Thanks to everyone for your car advice! :) Posted by: VAMPGIRL on 1/29/2004 10:04:37 AM I would like to say a big thank-you to everyone for your wonderful car advice. My Mom decided to get a 2002 Hyundai accent.It's got everything except the power windows and locks and is a beautiful car,she says...It has 29,000 miles,so the bumper-bumper still has 31,000 miles or 4 years left. We got a good deal paying about $8,000.00(about $1,000.00 less than the blue book),so I was very pleased with that...It really pays to buy at the end of the month,to get the bargains. A special thanks to Robin for suggesting we look into the Hyundai and the other Hyundai owners,I don't think we would have even considered it,without you. I read every online review that I could find and every single one was positive and the most important thing is that my Mom is very happy with the car....Thank-you all again from the bottom of my heart,we could'nt have done it without your help....My Mom would'nt be able to get to her treatments without a reliable car,so I can't tell you how relieved I am...Love,Vampy and another poster, a current Toyota owner, responding to the one above: 4. Re: Thanks to everyone for your car advice! :) Posted by: OKIEGAL on 1/29/2004 10:20:06 AM Vampgirl -- I need a new car and I was very surprised at all of the favorable reviews of Hyundais. I'm looking at the Sonata. -------------------------------------------- Ok, I did a good job, but I'm bothered that Vampgirl's mother paid $8,000. That's what I would expect to pay for a new one with some negotiating skills. I was hoping her mother would benefit from this horrible resale value I hear so much about.

Although I haven't checked KBB. Buying privately would have prob saved more money. My *brand-new* 04 EGT is probably not worth much more and it only has 250 miles on it! Neil. |
Re: Ok, that's it, I'm closing my business and going to work for Hyundai
horrible resale value??????? heck I just traded in my 2000 Hyundai Elantra
Wagon.. and its on the lot for $14,999 the same price it listed for brand new 4 years ago.mind ya it only had 38,000 miles on it.. but it was not loaded with options by no means.. basic car.. 5 speed , no air, not PW, nothing... go figure.... but I do love my new 2004 Elantra GT....

Also concerned that prices will rise once they start manufacturing in Alabama (or are they doing that already?) where labor costs are higher. -- Do not email if posting response.
