Originally these belts were beginning to crack at about 3 years/30k miles,
but they appear to have been lasting longer more recently. Unfortunately,
I haven't reached a conclusion how long the newer belts have been lasting
because I haven't seen enough in poor condition.

I called a local parts store regarding the serpentine belt for a price, they
said $17.00 why is the dealer sticking it to me, at $70?

Dealer markup. I'm sure Hyundai Korea sees little of that $70.

Re: Serpentine Belt Sonata 04
 

My guess would be that Hyundai America sees about $35 of that $70. That
would be pretty much the standard markup in the high rent districts. I
know it's a little less than $70 at my dealership, so I'm sure you're in a
high price area.

I'd suspect the $17 belt costs the parts store around $8 to $10 of their
own money.
