Bought my Tiburon with 13 miles on it, 9/9/00. Kept it through 131,xxx approx 7/10/10



Bought my Genesis with 12 miles on it, ~7/28/10. Gonna be mine for a looong time. Don't know the exact date, as I bought it, waited for delivery, then drove it before final paperwork was signed. So I guess i could pick any of 3 dates.

Bought the 03 Accent new...don't remember the miles or exact date. Got it out of their delivery lot and had to remove the shipping plastic.



Replaced the engine at 152k miles because the timing belt snapped and bent valves. Now at 162k miles.



Both other Hyundais are 2nd hand.

our dealerships are pissed off that 6 of our last Hyundais have been bought used. none of ours are new. if you can buy a good Hyundai for $500-$3,000 and have a comparable car to some of these new cars then why not? screw loans and interest, especially on a Hyundai.
