I went with my aunt to a dealer near us this weekend because shes picking up a new 2016 Sonata. As she was doing the paper work and talking with the sales guy, I walked around the lot to check out the cars they had. Tons of Sonatas, Elantras, Santa Fe's, few Gen Coupe sedans, only 1 coupe that I saw, and this one specific car that stood out from the rest. A black 1999 Tiburon, with only 31,600 original miles on it. Not a single scratch anywhere, leather interior, shark wing, clean 16" black Enkei RPF1 wheels with Bridgestone tires, tinted windows, and cosmetically flawless. Didn't see any mods done as it was still the factory height and had a factory muffler on the back. The dealer had a sticker price on it for $10,899 and didn't list any other mods done other than the wheels and tires. I don't know if a 17 year old Hyundai is worth that much but you absolutely do not see Korean cars that old in that mint of condition driving around.

That's pretty cool. Not $10k cool, but pretty cool.

I dont even think blue book is half that much. Pretty high mark up there.

What state was this in by any chance? I've been looking for a minty RD1.

A few hundred miles to DC area isn't that bad. Make sure you do a *proper* inspection and pay half of the sticker but it could be worth a trip just to go see, if you're really in the market.

I didn't see the DC area part since I was checking from my phone. But I agree the 10k mark is ridiculously high and was thinking 5k would be a more suitable number. Now if I can just find out this dealership name.. Haha



But in all reality, I am looking for another tib since mine wants to be a rust mine.

But, you're going to tear up a "mint" RD1 just to throw a DIY turbo into it?

SpoolinShark

What's wrong with boosting it? Everything in my setup has been done correctly.



I take good care of my cars.. The former owner of my tib, that's a different story.

If it was me, I would leave it as is. Boost is great and all but a non raped virgin low mile Tib in factory condition is just so

JonGTR

Because this.
