Aren't the new Hyundai's being offered with 10 yr warranties? Not sure what
the mileage limit is - but it's probably too low.
I'll take a 15 year old MB w/250k first.

Okay, so a new Hyundai will reach 80 with relative ease... how

an older MB to an older Hyundai. (BTW, I had an older excel as a first
car, it needed a rebuilt engine when I got it, and it loved head

going downhill and barely mustering 20, I started looking for a

My wife had a new Hyundai Excel when we first got together. It went
138,000mi and the engine was smoking and leaking, steering rack shot,
caliper stuck and the transmission (4spd stick) started squealing and
acting up. She hit a deer and saved me from putting way too much into
a car that cost $5,000 new.
It served its purpose and I would consider it a disposable car. I
forget now how many years it lasted but it had to be right around 5.
Nothing ever went wrong prior to all the stuff that basically wore
out at the same time. It felt like junk right out of the dealer.
She had been driving my 1984 190D 2.2 5spd for a while and loved
everything about it, so I gave it to her. She's owned MB diesels for
12 years now and shows no interest in any other marque.
