All late model Hyundais /Kias 2006 and above are terrific value.But the base Accent and Rio ,, I think ,do not have the ABS ,though.
A used 06-07 Hyundai Sonata is a great bargain,, a good sized sedan,good reliability and fuel economy!!

GM has a 100K warranty that is transferable. And GM cars depreciate almost as quickly as Hyundais.

Yes, used Hyundais can be a great value because of the horrible resale values! Just don't buy a new one unless you plan to keep it a very long time!

What are repair and maintenance costs like on Hyundais or Kias?
 
Are these costs more expensive compared to other imports or domestic cars?
 
And are there problems finding mechanics (other than Hyundai dealerships) who know how to fix Hyundais/Kias?

The G20 is the Infiniti version of the Nissan Sentra.
 
Primera, actually - a somewhat larger FWD platform, available in Europe as a Nissan. I had both an older Sentra and and a G20 (both manual), and the drives could not have been compared (G20 much nicer.)

I am in the process of searching for a used vehicle for my daughter. She wants something sporty. Price range of 7000-9000. We have been looking at Chrysler Sebrings (2004) any one have any advice? Thank you

That would likely not be it.
 
Do you have an age range or mileage constraints? Are any features manditory? You might be interested in anti-lock brakes, stability control systems, and various air bags to help young drivers stay out of trouble and mitigate injury should it be necessary. Does it need to be a sedan? Automatic or manual? Do you have a target fuel economy in mind? Does it snow where you live?

Used Lexus IS300.
 
Nothing's going to be more reliable and provide a "European" type feel that's just right for the average driver. I't's the only car in the last 5 years or more that I drove and it reminded me of the old 1990s Volvos. Tight, controlled, and a great car to drive.
 
The IS250 is underpowered and pricey for what it is.
The IS350 is more of a muscle car - it doesn't have the same light on its feet feel as the older IS300.(plus is hugely expensive, even used)

Good example. Built to last 15-20 years, so 7-8 years old isn't a problem at all.

Huh. Ummmm..... huh.
 
Sooo... when you say "sporty" you obviously have a very different definition than me. Can you be more specific?
