I have a 2012 Hyundai Sonata 2.0T Limited, with all the options (floor mats, trunk mat, rear bumper applique). It currently has ~ 7,3xx miles on the odometer. I currently owe ~ $6K on it.

I'm thinking about switching it out. How much do you think I can get for this vehicle if I trade it in?

What's the kbb market value with that mileage?

Which car are you trying to get hyung!?

speedemon90

I'd say go to carmax to see what kind of price they throw out at you. See how much your gonna lose and decide from there??

Why are getting rid of it so soon?

Carmax -> Dealership -> Private

I think he wanted something a little more sporty.

I know I'm going to take a hit if I do trade it in...the car is a nice car...just not "sporty", which is what I prefer. If I don't get a decent deal on a new car, and a decent trade-in amount, I'm going to keep it for a couple more years.

Is anyone going to throw out any #'s? Is $26-$27K realistic? Optimistic?

Do da right fing.

Is yours with or without premium package?

Checked around.... local dealers are selling used 2012 Sonata 2.0T Limited models (of which there aren't too many, btw) between $26K (1,500 miles, no premium pack) and $29K (6,900 miles, premium pack).

If yours is without premium pack, don't think you'll get $26-$27K as trade in or private party. If it has premium pack, I'm thinking maybe $25K-$26K trade in and maybe $26K-$27K private party.

What are you lookng to get in its place?

Get a WRX or step it up a little bit to STi Sedan. They can be had for like $33k these days. Do you need to install a kid seat for your daughter? I think the backseat is pretty good size too.

What are you trying to get? Budget?

Did you research a lot before you got that Sonata? I don't think I've ever seen your thread before. All the reviews of Sonata Turbo that I've read for the past year were just so-so. The reviewers complained that it wasn't sporty enough.

Weren't you trying to get a GTI or something back then?

speedemon90

I'd take a guess that if he went with a sonata that the interior is important to him so the wrx/sti is a no no.

3 Series? G37, G25?

Actually if you can wait, maybe wait for the new fusion? If its as good as it looks it wont disappoint lol that might be overly optimistic though

koreans! before i bought my tls my parents tried to hard to convince me to buy a hyundai..but i had my heart set on the tls. im korean also by the way...

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, I think he wanted something that is more mature or something like that.

Both 3 Series and G37 cost substantially more than Sonata. I was assuming his budget is under $30k.

The only Fusion I will ever buy is the Gillette Fusion.

I'm Korean too. I told my parents to get a Genesis sedan since it's such a great car for its pricing, they both told me to shut up.

Should have bought the Optima.

korean parents still have that mind set that korean car = utter complete shit.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Yep. And no matter how hard Hyundai/Kia try to convince them, it won't work.

But Hyundai/Kia don't care about the 1st Generation Koreans though.

jjashaa

iTrader: (23)

haha yes.

i asked my mom if she would ever buy one.. she was like.. i'd probably buy a used Lexus..

-_-;; lol

My buddy's returning his '12 Mustang GT to Ford and getting a '13 Genesis Coupe 3.8 R-Spec.

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

I spotted the new 2.0T one yesterday actually. It looks much better in person imo. The front end didn't have that gigantic fog lights, and it cleared up the front much better.

Moog-Type-S

I saw my first 2013 Gen Coupe about 2 weeks ago. Dark Blue....could not see the rear so did not know if it was 2.0T or V6.

Either way it looked very nice. Much better than the current version.
More aggressive looking....more refined looking.

pttl

He lemoned it?!?!?!? I forget the details. What thread is this in?

JS + XES

iTrader: (1)

Seriously. I didn't think much highly of it until I spotted one in person. It looks matured.

It was in: https://acurazine.com/forums/car-talk-5/unleash-your-inner-mustang-848714/

I didn't post any details about it, but basically Ford agreed to buy his car back minus a small amount for mileage and depreciation (much better price than resale) and in the meantime he placed an order for the R-Spec, white with red interior 6mt with track package, a few weeks ago. The 'Stang never ran right after the blown engine and in a few instances would cut all power off while cruising at highway speeds.

He's going to love that 3.8 R Spec! The car looks much better than the pre-facelift version.

I don't think so. One problem is the financing offered by car companies when buying new.

Well, I'm trading emails with several dealers. $26K-$27K is what I told them that I was looking for. We'll see. I might trade for a VW. Anybody have any serious connections in SoCal for VW?

Truecar.com is the best!

Maybe Tony. I know he has Audi and Mercedes connections... maybe he has VW too?
