used accent? - Hyundai Performance Forums

nihonbound · 02-19-2003, 11:29 AM

Ok...

I need a car, I want a Hyundai, and I'm broke as hell. I'm thinking of getting a used Accent with high mileage and doing an engine swap or something? Anyone have any suggestions? I'll be paying in cash, and I want to keep it around 5k. I've got a hardon for a Tib, but that'll have to be after I get lots of money =(

yea, you can prolly even get a 00 with high miliage for around 5 grand...
Any thing below that in years is a givin...Just search locally or the online car sites.

who would 'want' a tib? get a x3

: you can find one for under 3k easily and swap it and that'll be a little over your 5k mark.

uzzled: I like my car a lot and all, but if I had a choice on a car, I certaily wouldn't pick any Hyundai. Whatever works for ya, I guess.

I want a Hyundai...in most every aspect of life I shoot for the underdog, and love it. Besides...quality cars, great warranty, and awesome pricing...I can't say no!!! Also, would an engine swap be absolutely necessary? Thanks guys!

boost or nitrous is always an option. do some reading through some threads and get an idea of what you are in store for. not saying it is hard or anything, just a little harder to come by parts.

All of my family and friends told me I was crazy to buy a Hyundai. They claimed the auto company does not make cars as well as high priced cars. I haven't had any problems with it yet, and it looks as if I won't.
