I always have liked Hyundais, that one looks quite nice. Congrats!

[Paladin Skylark]

I have always hated Hyundai's but honestly, you've got a good first car!

[ddrd]

I have always hated Hyundai's

This.

[Milli]

Only 3500? D: Bloody hell... those things let me so down. :(

 

Congratulations though.

[Ryzza5]

Nicely done mate.

[ScoobSTi]

Hyundai's are getting better, admit it. This was a a teeny bit before that, though. :hmmm:

[Ryzza5]

Better than getting an Excel or Getz though :)

[Prophecy]

Inline 4... werent these a v6?

[The Compensator]

Nice, but I hate Korean cars. (except Genesis)

I thought you had a Dodge :confused:

[GTAMADDOG]

I think you could get a V6, but most of them (in England anyway) appear to be 2.0L. Not suprising considering fuel prices in the UK.

 

Looks like a tidy first car though.

[RRacer]

Great first car, only one thing... Y automatic?!

[RX_37]

Yeah man, automatic? :( It's just wrong.

[The Compensator]

He's Canadian. People in North America like automatic gearboxes.

Nice for a first car!

 

over here, most first cars are 1L or 1.2L Vauxhall Corsa B/C's, Ford Feista that are around 10 year old or so! I'm hoping to get my first car thats 100% mine & insured for me! xD

[Beav]

Nice man. Your lucky you don't live in the UK. The insurance on that would be a killer!

[Broseph]

Dont have pics tho from that far back

1996 Dodge Avenger ES

2.5L 24v V6 auto

55,000 miles

$550 usd

Purchased back in 2003

I baught it off my dads boss that's why I got it so cheap. That's why it's Hyundai and an auto and a 4 cylinder. But I don't really care it's a good first car that gets me to work, and back and to friends houses, and I'm going to keep it till I have enough to buy, and build my 77' f-150 stroker, and I'll probably keep it then still. And my insurance is cheap too only $110 a month so like £70. I do have a dodge but it's my parents I was driving it until I got my own

Update: Car needs front axle seals, tie rod ends, 3 drive belts, tranny and coolant flush, power window fuses, sunroof fabric panel. and while in the auto car wash one of the washers scraped, and dented the rear quater panel. going to take apart brakes tomorrow morning clean them up see from there on getting new ones. about 2k in parts and labour. Cheap car isnt so cheap anymore. Im going to fix it and pay it off then either selling, or trading for a 73-79 F-150 with either a 400 big block o,r a 460 and im going to start restoring it. Going to be expensive but when you have 2k coming in a month and one bill bascially it wont be too bad.

Nice car. It's a shame Hyundai didn't move to RWD until much later, and also a shame that it's a slushbox, but still - not bad. :)

That's a generalization! :p
