MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
15 years old. 150000 miles on the clock. Seems Ok . . .
We need something with 4wd for winter and this had come up for 2 Grand.
Fingers crossed . . . .
Its Korean, should go forever, don't overthink it....it will be fine 😯
We bought a 1993 Renault Twingo with apparently 25k kms on the clock - its as good as gold apart from a rattle from one tappet which I CBA to fix at the moment.
Good luck
I'm hoping if I look after it, it will be good to me!
I'm not familiar with second hand 4WD prices, but that sounds awfully expensive...?
It could be expensive by UK prices. This is in Spain where there is a painful shortage of second hand cars because so few new cars were sold during the Spanish Crisis from "2008 until a couple of years ago"
Over here its the best price we've seen for this sort of thing.
Have a 2004 Santa fe Diesel .Only issue really has been corroded front brake pipes at NCT(MOT) time,track rod end .Plus oil pressure switch failed which was good a least spraying oil everywhere but at least the underside got a good corrosion resistance coating .
Does on average 40 to the gallon n pulls like a train .
I had one between 98k and 120k. The diesel injectors were probably sour when I bought it as it ran a bit rough on low revs and slight exhaust smell under hard acceleration.
Net: at 150k the injectors are possibly waiting to fail. One Hyundai dealer I spoke to said anything after 80k is a lucky draw visavi injectors.
Apart from that loved it. 7 seats, powerful, heated seats etc
Sounds like it should be good for a while then as long as I keep an eye on it and do anything that comes up.
Had a Terracan. Failed at 80k due to injectors. Wasn't worth repairing due to a raft of other faults including the low fuel light not working which led to running out of diesel and started off the injector problem. Brilliant offroad though! Bought it through a maindealer and they were so incredibly incredibly shite to deal with that I would never consider another Hyundai
Sold a 05 Tucson with 100000 recently, similar think.
Cheap, big wafty tank that feels cheap but it'll do the job
injectors are a limited service item on every vehicle . its just that most folk ignore.
muzz - we had a Tucson in South Africa and we'd buy one here if we could find one at the right price.
Hands down it was the best new car value for money wise that we ever bought.
Our neighbours had an ancient Hyundai 4x4 - the thing was bomb-proof and fantastic in the winter snow. This reminds me it's probably time to sell my 2WD station car and look out for something along the same lines...
