    2008 Hyundai Elantra

    mom and i picked this up for her commutes to visit shut ins and so we have something to tow behind the rv on the tow dolly. her van and my 06 town car only get about 18 mpg combined, and neither would tow well due to size and weight. something also if gas prices get insane. i love to just drive around and look at stuff, well this thing getting decent mileage will allow me to do that, driving around on the back roads is peaceful to me.
    stumbled across this last night looking at facebook marketplace. figured better look at it quick and jump on it if it was decent
    it's a 2008 hyundai elantra gls. 2.0 dohc with a 4 speed auto. 137 hp iirc. it's got 166,600 miles.
    book value for the mileage is 4000-5000 dollars, got this one for 2695 cash. it has tilt, cruise, a/c, power windows and locks, keyfob entry, rear window defrost, electric power steering, and a very adjustable manual drivers side seat. the pass seat just reclines and goes forward and back.
    i took it for a good hour long test run, only problem i noticed are the brake rotors are warped badly, car is getting new pads and rotors asap.
    put about 100 miles on it today, drives real nice. it had one tire that was at 3/32 so i had that replaced with a tiger paw touring.......the other 3 tires are imported, one is a chnia maypop and the other two are indonesian maypops....those have like 9/32 of tread.
    will update with more pics soon, very busy.

      Wife had one just like that. Bullet proof while we owned it. She said she liked it better than the 2017 I just leased.

      Good luck with it.
