Thinking about buying, need Opinions
Hi everybody. New to the forum. A little back story. I used to own a 98 Elantra, but sold it and got a 2001 Sebring two years ago. Needless to say, I made a mistake. The Sebring has been one problem after another. Anyway, I'm looking at a 2006 Sonata and wanted to get some opinions on what the car is like. I've read mostly good reviews online, but wanted to see what people on here were saying.
The Sonata I am looking at is from a rental sales agency. It has 34000 miles on it and is the Sonata GLS with 6 cylinder engine. A couple of things. 1. The warranty should still be good on the car until 60000 miles or 2012, right? Would being at a rental agency cause the warranty to be void? 2. Are there any problems with the 2006 Sonata you can alert me to? 3. What are some of the things I should look at when inspecting the car? 4. Just would like to know the general opinion about the Sonata. I really loved my Elantra and think a step up to a Sonata would be great. I don't have too much money to spend but think I have found a good deal but wanted to see if anyone had any warning signs for me. Really appreciate it and if I buy it, you will have another member of the forum. Thanks. |

The Sonata is an excellent car and the V6 version is great. I'd be leary of a rental but you can get them cheap. It probably had good maintenance but I don't know how well it was taken care of otherwise. The warranty for the second owner is 5 years and 60K miles from the original date of purchase. So if it's a 2006 the warranty is only good until 2011 or 60K miles whatever comes first.

A great car but have a mechanic check it out first. If it's been a rental you'll want somebody to check it over for signs of abuse. Plenty of people drive those cars hard.

Thanks for all the information. I really appreciate it. I ended up buying a used 2008. Really nice. Looking forward to driving it after my last car.
Again, really thankful for the comments and if the mod wants to delete this thread, I'm fine with it. Hope to be on here in the future....just not asking about any problems. lol Thanks |
