Your in denial. Detroit and quality are not synonomous it sucks...until they stop focusing on profits and more on quality, rice will continue to prevail. Just like Toyota did last year. Detroit parts will always cost less because they have to sell more of them to keep their vehicles going.
Whats the diffrence between a ford and a golf ball?... you can drive a golf ball 200 yards.

Nice car! It'll definetly be a lot better on gas mileage than your old truck. Sorry to hear ya wrecked it.
I'm also sorry you had to sell ur reef to pay for it!!
Hopefully, you can set up another reef tank someday.
Biggest thing to watch with the Hyundai is replacement parts. Most can be found easily, but some can be harder to find, as Hyundai has many production plants in the D.P.R.K. (North Korea) and being as relations with that country are getting worse and worse, and with possible economic sanctions on the horizon, be careful. Don't wreck this one, as you might not be able to find the parts!

The body from the pictures looks good. How does it drive? How much wear on the tires and have the brakes been replace. You don't want to pay 3k and start replacing consumables right off the bat. Did you say it was an Auto or manual, if auto, smell the trans fluid for a burnt smell (that is bad) and look and see if the engine oil is dirty/foamy or clean.
Look at the air filter, most dealers don't change those as part of prep-ing a used car for resale. This will give you an idea how well the previous owner took care of it. Wait till the end of month to buy a car or end of quarter as most dealers are willing to be more flexible to make their monthly/quarterly numbers. Also, look for the new guy, the general manger may be easier on them to help the new person sell a car. The guy may not always be the youngest looking

I didnt forget, yes I know they have merged, but there is a distinct difference in quality between a Mercedes Benz and a Mopar. Even the 300M dosent compair to an equally priced Mercedes, C, CL class.
When Diamler merged with Chrylser , Mopars customer base was rapidly expanding due to new and creative designs such as the PT Cruiser, Durango and the recently introduced new body styles for their trucks, i.e bold grills and fenders. No other American MFG could compair, (now the others US MFGs are playing catch up to Mopar). Mercedes Benz saw this as an express lane to a newly emerging customer base paved by Chrysler innovation. Chrysler had a new reputation for creative body styles, MB had a strong reputation for quality.
Because of this merger, MB sales have gone through the roof without any degredation in quality. It has remained unaffected by the merger and continues to this day. They have not adopted any mechanical changes or benifitted technologically from Mopar. Conversly Mopar quality remains unchanged as well. Bosch parts are still used in a Mercedes. The only similarity these two companies share is the name Diamler/Chrysler seperated by a / mark.
If you inspect both of them closely the vehicles differ significantly in quality. Especially the powerplant and brake systems. Apples and oranges straight across. To this day most folks dont purchase a Dodge as a replacemet vehicle for their Mercedes CL class.

personally i would go with 04mach and buy a mustang! im not a big fan of tuner cars and in fact i cant stand them. i think that any car that runs down the road sounding like a weedwaker sucks, but i heard hundai makes reliable cars check the carfax and if its a good price go for it!

If your looking for a good car with good mpg rating, get yourself a Toyota Yaris. I got one a hile back its a 2007. Awsome car for the money. I get about 400 miles off a tank of gas, it drives solid, good breaking, and a good stero, what else could you ask for! :jumping:
