mid 90s corolla....
my 92 has 392km on it.. only this that has been replaced in its ENTIRE life are ... struts, front braks onces, exhaust manifold (my dads fault), and slave cylinder for clutch.. otherwise everything on it is the same as when my parents bought it 14 years ago. Back brakes are still the same from the factory, and had about 25% life left in them at 370km :thumbup: |

Honestly, if you're considering those cars why not go with a domestics of equal year, say a Sunfire/Cavalier, and get one for a lower price where parts are available at a lower cost?
I'm not a fan of Hyundai/Kia when buying used - they depreciate as fast as domestics, if not faster.
For 10K, if you want a factory warranty, I'd suggest sticking to the Neon/Sunfire/Cavalier family. I don't think you'd find any jap. imports (Echo, Civic, Sentra) at that price point with the factory warranty. |

personally, i dont think youd be getting any good car with warrenty for 10k. i just dont like korean cars in general, and with domestics, you might get warrenty, but how longs it going to be in the shop for?
if i were you, id just get a beater, or get a cheap civic or corolla for around 10k. you might not get warrenty, but you know those cars are built to last. |

There is a difference between Armani -vs- Armani Exchange is there not?
Hyundai = cheap but good (after years of crappy)
Kia = cheap and crappy. |

Stay away from these vehicles. Every single one we have at Derrick Dodge is screwed beyond belief. We have a nice selection of Hyundai's and Kia's that run amazingly though. Yet again, do not buy one of these heaps. We've had 3 Neon's this week alone that needed full engine rebuilds at under 100,000 KM. I think that speaks for itself. |

| obviously the people driving the neons have not kept the maintnance up on them...sure they are cheap...but u pay for what u get.....you import a 15 year old jdm car..and alot of shit has to be fixed on them...its normal..all vehicles have wear and tear...my grand parents own a neon and it hasen't missed a beat...when they first bought it about 7-8 years ago they have had to replace a headgasket...thats all...i say..look to see if there is records on the vehicle if its used..and look for signs of well proper maintained cars..the shitty lancer im stuck with has lasted since 87 and finally factory parts i have had to replace...little minor things tho |

Considering the sheer number of high mileage neons/cavaliers/sunfires on the road with very high miles on the original engine, I'd say that speaks for itself.
Remember, the original poster wanted a warranty. There are only a handful of cars that could be found for 10K that would still have the factory warranty left. |

after the warrenty runs out, hes gonna be in trouble if something major breaks down. and he'd probably have a year or so left on the warrenty anyways, so it makes more sense to buy something like a civic |

| Buy Tom's SIR in the marketplace.. his price is extreamly low for the quality of car. Plus there are a bunch of mods which are not listed like the fact its rebuilt with CTR pistons and has ITR cams. |

Newred,
Just by the way it was phrased, I am going to assume you have close to $10,000 cash?
Lease a new one! Get a lease, cost is only a bit more and plan on buying out the car at the end. Drop big cash on the front end of the lease to reduce the payout and the payments while still stretching out the lease for 3~4 years. You will need to drop around 50% of the price down to make this work.
$12,000 lease = $6,000 down and $6,000 financed over 48 months = $125/month. This is guess math so you may have to flex the numbers around and you should decide to buy or lease depending on the better % rate.
You get a brand new car with full warranty with easy monthly payments (150$) and you can sell it a year before the warranty is up...Isn't Hyundai 7 years?
Builds your credit at the same time...it's all good.
Url.
Edit: If you have no cash do the same thing anyway but be prepared to buy the car out at the end of the lease. Either way you are still better off than buying someones problems. This is a car to get you to work, which pays your bills...don't puck around with used crap.

They are for the same reason that the ford F series is the best selling line of trucks in the world. Most people are retarded and they buy the cheapest shit they can find thinking that they are getting a "DEAL"
It seems that the guys at top gear completely agree with me

More words will make you not sound like troll. Can you say why?
I was thinking about people who know they will buy out the car at the end of the lease and may be looking to an alternative to high interest bank loans. |

| Your kidding right.. You could get a new one for that. Hell for 3 more you could get a base civic brand new. |

Don't knock Korean car makers. They have caught up and passed ALOT of companies.
For example the Sonata was CR's car of the year. Check out a new Hyundai/Kia and you will be surprised. Don't base your old world thinking on new world cars. |

Thanks guys, for the help.
The big reason why I ask about Hyundai & KIA is that, I know I can get one cheap. I Just bought a new (300k) House so, I need a car around 10k, so I pay half & so I will have cheap payments. If I had more money, or if my G/F was working yet, I would buy something better, (like Honda, or Toyota, etc...). However, I cannot, so I am stuck with a Hyundai & KIA. There cheap, they have good warranty & they have been making better cars lately... So will see what happens.
Nevertheless, my luck I will get one that is a shit box.
In addition, I do not want a neons/cavaliers/sunfires, because I had one before, there shit & they do not have a very good warranty…
:dunno: :drama: |

Don't the newer Kia's have a 5 year warranty? Perhaps a 2003-2004 Rio would be in your price range, and would come with a longer warranty than the spectra (Since you'll get a newer one)? |

| how about like a base lancer with a 10 year warranty? i wouldnt think their too expensive, and they probably have 0% financing |
