Replying to: fezo (Jun 19, 2009 6:59 pm) turns out tv is covered under an extended service plan, so was my mom's car (about a month left). my wife brought the computer to some of the great computer geeks she works with. they think it is fixable and are thinking the heat sink got disconnected from the cpu, so it overheated easily. we hope that is what it is.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jun 22, 2009 4:27 pm) For your sake I hope it is fixable. However, I never heard of a heat sink that became disconnected. It's not an electrical component that is electrically connected to anything. It's a passive mechanical thingy that absorbs heat from electrical/electronic components so they don't burn themselves up. They are finned something like a like a radiator so they have more surface area for the space they consume. When the right size is used for components that generate heat they are usually quite effective. I think something got lost in the translation but like I said, I hope it is fixable and without great expense or loss of memory (computer memory that is).  jmonroe

Replying to: mako1a (Jun 23, 2009 5:00 am) Not sure what he's talking about. Honda outsells Hyundai by about a 4 to 1 margin in the US, and builds a million more cars worldwide. Wouldn't exactly call that "eating" their lunch.

A reporter from a large newspaper is looking to speak to consumers who is considering purchasing a Hyundai or Kia or have purchased one this year. Please send your daytime phone number and the vehicle you own to ctalati edmunds.com by Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Thanks, Chintan Corporate Communications Edmunds.com |

I read that the carmakers closed some dealers to cut inventory down. Extra cars have to be sold for losses to cut the 'sales bank' #'s. Dealers make most of their $ on trade ins, but not automakers.

Replying to: mako1a (Jun 23, 2009 5:00 am) That $36K is the window price for the V6 with the Premium Plus option package. That's very nice car and by no means would anyone consider it 'stripped'. The V8 loaded, windows for $42K. I got mine for $38K and change in March. Like I posted a little while back, the dealer I bought from in Ohio now has their internet price for the V8 at an even $1K more than I paid and I’ve noticed that their price has gone steadily upward (each month on their internet page), since I bought. So, I think I bought at the right time. Even if I didn’t, I got what I wanted when I wanted it and at a much better price than I found anywhere in the Burgh area. However, it’s still a Hyundai so it ain’t on no competing level with a Honda.  jmonroe

Replying to: jmonroe (Jun 23, 2009 9:56 am) I agree. From the reviews I've read it's probably more accurately competing with an Acura...

Replying to: jwilliams2 (Jun 23, 2009 6:46 am) Honda might sell more than Hyundai in US,but worldwide Hyundai sells more than Honda or Nissan. For the record the worldwide sales leaders are : 1.Toyota 2.GM 3.VW 4.Ford 5.Hyundai 6.Honda 7.Nissan 8.Peugeot 9.Chrysler In 1999,Hyundai was # 11 in worldwide sales.Just shows the dramatic rate at which they have improved. |
