My Hyundai 2001 Elantra has 58000 miles. On recent visit to dealer, they told me that my belts are showing cracks and advised me to change them and timing belt along with other belts. They said Timing Belt should be changed either at 5 years or 60000 miles. Do I need to change the timing belt or the belts - A/C, Alt. and one more I don't remember, which as per them have developed cracks. What is normal life of the Timing Belt. Do I really need to change? Thanks

Replying to: elantraowner (Jan 16, 2009 7:45 am) I never said it was. I said the other belts should be labor-free. I've done timing belt replacements several times and have always had the other belts replaced at the same time for nothing more than the parts cost. Agree on the warranty coverage. That was my main point in posting - you need to provide adequate maintenance as prescribed by Hyundai (not necessarily the dealer) to maintain warranty coverage. Basically RTFM. |

Hi, Im about to purchase a MINT condition in and out 2005 ELantra GLS in Beige with only 16700 miles on it!. The final price was $9400.00, plus NJ sales tax. This car looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Is this a good deal??

Replying to: nodule (Jan 16, 2009 2:51 pm) Assuming it's an automatic sedan (most common type of Elantra) with no other options, KBB for a car with those miles in excellent condition is $9885 retail and $8010 private party. So if you are buying the car from a dealer, the price is pretty good. Not very good if it's from a private party. Used car values are depressed right now, just like new car prices, so there may still be some room to negotiate if this is from a dealer. While shopping for a used car recently (including Elantras), I found many excellent units at well below the KBB value.

Replying to: backy (Jan 16, 2009 3:31 pm) N.A.D.A. has equal recognition (or better than KBB). KBB usually, but not always, lists higher prices for the "same car" than NADA does.
