Default We Bought 2!

Hi All,

First post here.

Two weeks ago, the transmission went out on my wife's '95 Accord. I wasn't going to dump that kind of money into a car that old, so we found a 2009 Accent GS Hatchback (Auto trans and power options) and bought it. It is a Hyundai Certified car with 4800 miles on it, so we still get the balance of the 10 yr/100000 mile powertrain warranty.

She loves it. We had the oil changed the next day to synthetic. As you can see we don't trade often.

I liked the car enough that we went back today and traded my '94 BMW with 194,000 miles and bought another Hyundai Certified 2009 Accent GS Hatchback- this time no power options, but only 1600 miles on it- obviously less money than the first. It's my first automatic since i was in my 20's. (i'm 43 now.)

We are both hoping that by keeping up the maintenance, we will be able to drive these cars for many years. (Actually, I have a long highway commute so I figure in 6 years, mine will have 180,000 miles on it, hers will have 60,000- so I will take hers, drive it till it has 180,000 or so and trade mine in on a new car for her.)

Also, Holler Hyundai in Winter Park Florida (Orlando area) was great to work with, easily the easiest car buying either of us has ever had.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the purchases. You seem to do a great job at maintenance so I see no reason why your Accents wouldn't make it to 180K.
