hey all,

you guys know that i had rust issues in 2004 elantra and was losing peace of mind with all whacky sounds and tranmission miss now and then. Scared to the core.

I walked to a dealer just to ask him the trade in and process etc. Walked out with a 2013 Elantra GLS Sedan PZEV silver.

I know i signed a little high.. but it was 1425 ( tax,title, registration included) down. monthly 259 plus they will pay the loan on my 2004 which was 5200.

I opted for dings,dents,tire,maintenance,total loss etc for additional 20. So 279 for 36. 12k Miles per year

ya ... but now only option to keep myself happy and enjoy the ride

break down.. some saying its good deal.. this might be helpful for others


Total OTD = 21450

Supp package in lease (tire,maintenance,etc) 20*36 = 720

Tax,title,registration,doc fee etc ~= 1500

Loan (5281) - trade in (3500) = -1781

Approx MSRP = 21450 - 720 - 1500 - 1781 = 17449

NICE!

My 2004 GT is dinged and rusty, but it is paid off. It needs a flex pipe, which is throwing a CEL, leaks 1 quart of oil every 3,000 miles but still gets 30 mpg and gets me from point "A" to point "B" without ever letting me down. I REALLY want a new ride, but I think I'm driving her 'til she can't go no more!

Hey-Time to trade it in, pronto. lol. That's probably some minor surface rust where water collects. I always dry the engine compartment after washing the car. Door and hatch areas too, that you only see when their open.

Hey-I'd try to remove it myself. It doesn't look too bad. Maybe just using a damp cloth will work or some car cleaner.
