Elantra - look them over and bargain hard for a FANTASTIC price on a superb
car.

 

First thought is the Elantra. Even an upper end model at that price.

Second thought is hook up with a Sugar Daddy and get a Genisis..

 

I dont think my sister would go the sugar daddy route for a Genesis ;
but i too had thought of the Elantra or Tucson.

 

I have an'09 Accent HB that I really like. They really got this car
right. A '10 will come in nicely under your price. In retrospect, I
would probably get an Elantra. It is only $2K or so more. The slightly
larger engine gives it better performance that the Accent, but mileage
is pretty close. The Accent has some wind noise at highway spped that
I suspect the Elantra doesn't have.

 

I'd look at the new Sonata with the 2.4L 35 mpg and no timing belt ! Do not
buy anything with a timing belt !!!!!!

Striker

 

Then it has a timing chain ?

 

Thats pretty good if you can get an Elantra for $12 k. I knew
someone who racked up 270,000 miles on his ELantra without any engine
rework . And it didnt burn oil either. Original clutch too boot !

 

it has to be a chain if it doesn't have a belt, it certainly wont have
a whip

 

No, it could have gears.

 

As did the beetle.

 

Orrrr Gears!
