2004 tiburon gt by salival

I went and looked at the car and it has alot of little scratches on the outside and the passenger door handle is scratched up. Also in the engine compartment there appears to be a hole that a squire or rodent of some sort is living. I offered him 10500 and he said he will only go as low as 11500. is this a decent deal for the car? Anymore posts will be very appreciated

And you have asked for / reviewed the maintenance records correct?. I would, especially since this is a manual car, as many have had clutch issues. And with the hole you say is in the engine compartment I would ask him if something was living in there. Squirrels and mice love to chew on wires (and the little critter may be what cause all the little scratches). Perhaps you should take it to an independent mechanic or Hyundai dealer to have it checked out. Also, you may want to do a Carfax on it.
 
If it all checks out, maybe you can base your price on the repairs you will have to make on the hole & the scratches. ?I think you original price is fair, but in the end it's your decision.
 
Don't want to state the obvious or be a nag but I'd rather spend a few bucks on finding out the car's history than be stuck with a multiple thousand-dollar problem.
 
Good luck

I have to agree with the Carfax idea and having the vehicle checked at a dealer. The clutch issue is a very costly repair, if done at a dealer. They have to take out the engine to do it and the hourly rate is stupid. The Hyundai dealer I worked for had one in the shop for a new clutch and instead of fixing it, the owner let it go back to the bank.

If i bring the car to a mechanic can they tell if the clutch is bad? Also i was wondering how much a new clutch would run?

Not sure the exact cost, but it will be a bit expensive. They have a dual friction clutch standard.

2007 Tiburon Clearcoat cracking by rwmalchow

Does anyone else have clearcoat on a 2007 model Tiburon already cracking? We have taken the car to a automotive paint shop and they used a magnifying glass to show us the spider web cracking of the clearcoat. We then went to the dealership in Southern California where we purchased the car, and they said that it was fly droppings destroying the paint. Automotive insurance now involved, sending us to another body shop, which asked us to check web sites to see if this is a common problem. I can find all kinds of stuff on 2004 and before Hyundai Tiburons, but nothing on brand new ones.

HYUNDAI WILL NOT BACK THEIR PRODUCTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  
TODAY WAS ONE OF THE HAPPIEST DAYS OF MY LIFE I GOT RID OF MY HYUNDAI TIBURON. IN LAST 5 YEARS HAVE SPENT $12,000 IN REPAIRS THAT HYUNDAI WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY.

IF I CAN STOP ONE PERSON FROM BUYING ONE OF THESE CARS I WILL HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB

Call Hyundai directly. The engine has a 10year, 100K mile warranty for the original owner (are you the original owner?)
 
Otherwise, 5 years, 60K.
