did you do a full vin check before buying? If so, congrats anon.
If not,
>le one owner trick

>>16736194
considering a compact like a cruze or a civic with 50-70,000km runs about 10-11,000$ CND I say you did good (even if its a subcompact).

cheap cars, decently reliable, cheap to run

wouldn't wanna crash in one tho

>>16736297
wouldn't want to craush in an accent? or a subcompact in general?

>>16736231
I only did a deposit and they're giving me that official document in a few days

>>16736231
also how the fuck can two owners on a 6 year old car even compete with 30,000 miles?

>>16736194
no. a civic for 5k (3k usd) with 5x the miles would've been a better purchase. korean cars are shit.

>>16736315
>not checking the carfax before giving them a dime
>buying a shitbox from a dealer
you dun goofed. it's a salvage title piece of shit.

Anon, while the car is decent and will last forever, Accents are the bottom barrel Hyundai car; you could've gotten a hatch from 2013/2014 for the exact same price or right near that price range.

When i input my criteria into autotrader this was the most attractive option

my criteria was less than 8K, less than 150,000 km, hatchback, and year greater than 2009

>>16737060
You're fucking retarded. Who cares about the year? who cares about mileage? How it was maintained is more important. and a korean car from any year is bad.

>>16737060
Boi, I paid just under 8k for a 2013 with 30k miles, you gotta haggle bc dealers will hike the prices up but you can easily jew them down.

>>16737081
It was serviced at the dealership for every service

Mileage matters for wear and tear of the engine

I got to sit in and drive the car and it appeared to be maintained

Viewed engine also and was recently at hyundai for a tune up

>>16737108
a 2013 accent is not what i'm looking for

i don't want a 4 door car and 2011 is more compact

good jarb guy. its going to last forever. now get a whistler on that vanilla so you can pick up chicksss.

>>16737139
It's a five door hatch, It only had a few scratches here and there but nothing deep

>>16736297
>>16736304
I was a passenger in a 40 mph collision in one of these. Hit a Saturn Vue from behind. The Vue was unharmed, the Accent's front end was unrecognizable.

It still ran like a champ after the crash though. Got driven like that for over a year lmao.

>>16737160
okay that's good for you

I meant to say 5 door (didn't think of trunk)

I only have 10K right now and my brother owns the same car so we already have experience fixing it

You overpaid BUT the car is a pretty decent reliable shitbox. Wife had one (2010 iirc) 3 door hatchback auto and it was passed on to a relative. The car has giving no issues and doesn't ask for much. Nothing outside of the maintenance schedule.I believe it is at 120k now.

>>16737207
overpaid by how much?

and it is really fuel efficient

>>16736194
>hyundai
You fucked up OP, both of my friends with hyundais have had major issues
>2012 sonata had engine failure at 60k miles
>brand new 2016 veloster had transmission fail at 3000 miles

>>16736194
Yeah, that's a decent deal. You'd be lucky to find better in that price range and year.

If you're lucky, you could -maybe- have gotten a Mazda 3, but it'd predate Mazda's current Renaissance so it wouldn't be much better.

>>16737232
Ya I remember it being decent on mpg. You have the 5 door model so atleast you got a car with functional space to it. You paid probably a 2k premium cause it had very low mileage which does not mean much when looking at a budget car. It's the wrong mentality to have for a car or that criteria. It also brings the maintenance schedule into question because either the parts weren't replaced cause it wasn't at mileage yet but are due cause of age

>>16737311
All gens of mazda 3s are top-tier econoboxes

>>16737337
But the 15/16/17 Mazda3 is god-tier.

There really should just be an extra post added to the stickied thread telling everyone to buy a Mazda3.

>>16736194
without a carfax I'd assume altered odometer tbqh familia

>>16737593
>altered odometer
lmao this isn't the 1980s when you had analog odometers you could roll back

>>16737747
>being this innocent
>getting the boeing digits
rolling back odometers is easier than ever, provided you have the right equipment

bump

any other thoughts

>>16737978
