Default Going to be a new Hyundai owner

I'm going to pick up a 2002 Accent GL 4dr w/75k miles to retire my 2000 BMW MZ3 as a daily driver. I was looking for an affordable and reliable car with decent gas mileage. I'm glad that this car still has some warranty left just incase something comes up in the next 25k miles.

Has anyone had their cars repaired under the 10yr/100k miles warranty? Is Hyundai strict with it? ...trying to say that what is wrong with the car is not covered.

Sorry to tell you but the 10y/100K warranty is only for the original owner. Secondary owners only get a 5y/60k mile warranty. And since this car is 7 years old and has 75k miles, you get no warranty (unless you purchase an extended warranty).

Thanks for your reply. I just learned something new today...unfortunately not good news for me
I'm going to look into the extended warranty. However, I have a feeling it's not going to be worth it.

Also, get the timing belt looked at. It should have been replaced at 60K miles. If it wasn't, get it changed ASAP because it if breaks, it will destroy the engine.
