Thanks for the feedback guys.
We've been looking for a 2006 Sonata for around $16000 for the past few months. I was getting quite frustrated that the only cars that ever seemed to be available were former rentals with about 20,000 miles on it. I was finally contemplating buying one against my better judgement. I know you can find great used rental cars, but I also know they are more risky and I know how I've driven them.
This morning, I decided to expand my search beyond a 100 miles. Then a big stroke of luck (and they never happen to me.) I find exactly what we're looking for. 2006 Sonata GLS with only 2,100 miles on it for $15,999. Call and get the story on it. It was a older woman recently divorced who just got a big settlement from her husband. She traded it in for something sportier and more fancy. Carfax checked out, remaining manufacturer warrenty was transferable. They actually had it on their lot since last October and it was dropped from 17,999 to 16,999 then finally to 15 this week. Spent the day driving down and back.
Man, I feel like I just scored big. The same car goes for 18 easy in my area. I think I'm going to start buying all my cars out in the sticks.
Pick it up next Saturday
