Hyundai Elantra: replacement key cost
Answered by Graham Smith · 09 May 2019
Hyundai i30 or Accent 2012: Good second hand cars?
Answered by Graham Smith · 10 May 2019

They’re quite reliable with no major issues to be concerned about. The main things are the overall condition of the car, the kilometres travelled and the service history. If all those boxes can be ticked the car should be fine.

Hyundai Elantra 2000: Max milage before engine replacement
Answered by Graham Smith · 31 May 2019

Is that 360,000 miles or is it kilometres? I’ll assume it is kilometres given that’s what the odometer displays. It’s impossible to answer your question with any accuracy, but you have already had a good run out of the car and I wouldn’t expect that you would get another 360,000 kilometres out of it. But if it has been well serviced with regular oil and filter changes the engine could conceivably go for many years yet. You could have a mechanic give a health check, take a compression reading for instance, and that might give you an idea of how much life is left in it.

 

What hatchback should I buy?

Most small hatchbacks have similar width footwells, so I would suggest you try the most popular ones, Toyota Corolla, Hyundai i30, Kia Rio etc. to find the one that’s best for you.

What wagon should I buy?

Your choices are limited. An i30 of around 2014 would handle your towing needs and fit your budget. You could also look at Holden Cruze or VW Golf wagons.

 

Hyundai Elantra 2014: How do I sell my car privately?
Answered by Graham Smith · 24 May 2019

The registration needs to be transferred within 14 days of the vehicle being sold. On sale you need to complete and sign the seller’s section (Part B) of the Vehicle Registration Transfer Application (F3520) and have the buyer sign it as well. Keep this as proof of transfer until the registration has been transferred out of your name. The buyer keeps Part A of the form and is responsible for submitting it to Department of Transport and Main Roads.
