DirtyDigz 1,812 Posted May 25, 2022 Yep, I know the used car market is UNSANE. Trying all avenues. Trying to budget at ~$8k. Looking for a used car for GF's daughter's first car. Looking for safety and reliability first. Performance, aesthetics and prestige dead last. Not in a rush. Must haves: - Auto trans - Fuel injection - All Factory Airbags Appreciate any leads that don't end up at a car dealer's lot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyDigz 1,812 Posted July 20, 2022 Looks like a 2013 Hyundai Elantra is going to be purchased. Any specific issues with this year/model I should be aware of? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jackruf 7 Posted July 22, 2022 We had a 2013 Elantra for our kid’s first car. Keep it about 6 years, ran great, no issues. We later sold to a friend. Still a friend!. Only suggestion would be to purchase the aftermarket spare tire kit. These did not come with a spare tire and jack from factory. Only a can of resealant. At the time the kit could be purchased on Amazon. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
