Sorry to start off on such a sob story.

This weekend it finally happened. My Elantra has now been sold to someone who will appreciate her. I feel really empty that I have sold her.

The reason I thought it was time for her to go was because I never drive her and really just liked looking at her. I've had so many great memories with her. She was my first car and the car I got my driver license in. She was the car that I moved out of home with and start my own life.

9.5 years later I can say she will always be my favourite car.

The reason I decided to sell her was because I mostly drive the i30cw and being diesel it has been a very practical car to own. I do like the i30, but it doesn't get babied like my Ellie. I have always been over cautious with looking after her beautiful black paint and still looks like the day she left the showroom. The i30 on the other hand is very and easy to wash and Im not all that fussed about seeing it get used.

So everyone, I'm sure I have made an area of myself, but it was a hard decision to make.

Have a great time with your new owner Ellie Elantra

Hey Dean... thanks for the post. If it makes you feel better just remember two things...

One... you keep Ellie looking nearly new for almost 10 years and you took care of her with pride...

And two... you apparently sold her to someone who will do the same.

Awesome.

Sorry to hear that you finally sold her. I'm sure she's moved on to another owner that will care for her like you did.

I'm sure the car will bring the same joy to the new owner that it did to you.

She left this evening for her new life in Geelong.

The new owner is absolutely wrapped with her and promised she would be well looked after.

It was just as emotional as having your child leave home ... lol what are shocker I am... now it me and the iTurdy

Here in Canada the i30cw is an Elantra, the Touring.
I find ours great.

Sad day indeed. At least you treated her properly for a VERY long time and she will be enjoyed by someone else now.

Better late than never...

This little 1.6 CRDi Diesel is a beast! We have done a few trips with her now towing the camper and does an outstanding job! Camper weighs 1100kg fully loaded. When did a 6hr trip to Eden NSW and it climbed hills with the air conditioning running on a 40 degree (Celsius) day without a problem.

Have also done 2 trips along the great ocean road.
