Hyunda- sisters car, newer, lower miles, less expensive and still under factory warranty.

If she can get past the badge, the Sonata is a great car. Has a 60k mile warranty (100k doesn't completely transfer) ... That's cheap as hell.

GF's Dad is a dealer so we would get the Manheim price. The Altima was being sold private party by someone.

Drove a Sonta on a business trip as a rental a few months back. Very pleasantly suprised by it. Great value.

Warranty is a good thing for a woman to have. Then the dealer won't take her to the cleaners for a while.

A friend of mine has an 06 Sonata with the V6. It's an excellent car, I'd have no problem buying one to replace my TL if I had to....buy it.

The Altima is a great car, but for the price, miles and warranty I would get the Sonata.
