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.

Replying to: backy (Jan 16, 2009 6:13 pm) Just like the car mags emphasize different factors when rating cars, maybe the used car guides weigh things differently. The CT general statutes provide: "Sec. 38a-353. (Formerly Sec. 38-175y). Calculation of settlement amount on totalled motor vehicle. Whenever any damaged motor vehicle covered under an automobile insurance policy has been declared to be a constructive total loss by the insurer, the insurer shall, in calculating the value of such vehicle for purposes of determining the settlement amount to be paid to the claimant, use at least the average of the retail values given such vehicle by (1) the National Automobile Dealers Association used car guide and (2) one other automobile industry source which has been approved for such use by the Insurance Commissioner. For purposes of this section, "constructive total loss" means the cost to repair or salvage damaged property, or the cost to both repair and salvage such property, equals or exceeds the total value of the property at the time of loss." (Good luck keeping warm. We're up to 17* at 12:30 pm. You guys have been getting clobbered  .)
