    Hi all,

    My name is Derek (handle MegaC) and I am new to this group. Nice to
    meet everyone :)

    I am interested in purchasing a 2001 Hyundai Accent GS-I (low miles).
    It seems like a sweet deal, but I nervous as I don't have a lot of
    experience with these cars. This one is going for $7995 and only has
    70,000 kilometers on it. However, I am relunctant. Are these safe
    cars? I read something about Brake clutch problems.

    Thoughts, Comments?

    Thanks (in advance)
    Derek

    These are reasonable cars, but it sounds like the price may be a little
    steep. I'm not terribly familiar with currency conversion, but consider
    that you're buying a car that isn't all that low in mileage (9-11k miles a
    year). Also consider the price of the car new. With a 5-Speed, this car
    was probably around $11k USD when new.

    I just purchased a 2001 Accent (with 66,000 miles) from a private party.
    Paid $4900 US. This is our 2nd 2001 used Accent. (The first one got
    totaled) They both have the 5 speeds and the new one is the GS model. We
    had no problems with the first one. The one we have now is in mint
    condition and runs like a top.
    Good Luck!!

    You can buy a brand new 2005 for around $9500 (US).

    i think its a tad steep concidering the warranty's about to expire and in
    roughley 25 000 kms you'll have to go through the major tune up and timing
    belt change.....
    buy it with a extended warranty or better yet buy a new model and get full
    warranty...
    Are you in Canada i noticed you used kms's? Right now you can lease a 5 spd
    gs with soundsystem for 132.00 a month or just a tad more to buy..
