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.

 

 

Looks like a 2013 Hyundai Elantra is going to be purchased.  Any specific issues with this year/model I should be aware of?

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.

Good to know, thanks!
