If only they could make an engine or transmission that doesn't blow up at 80,000 miles.

- pixl97 4mo agoLuckily they have a 10 year 100k mile warranty.
- linksnapzz 4mo ago...which AFAIK isn't transferable. IOW, used Hyundais are cheap for a reason.
- glitchc 4mo agoAre you sure? The warranty is on the car, not the owner. Almost all manufacturers (except Tesla) transfer automatically and are based on mileage.
- linksnapzz 4mo agoWho told you that? Unless you buy your Hyundai new, or CPO from a dealership, the powertrain warranty is 5/50.
- ranger_danger 4mo agoOnly if you happen to be the second owner. Third owners get nothing.
- linksnapzz 4mo agoOf the important life-lessons to have before one turns 18; "don't ever be the third or fourth owner of a Hyundai" is right up there with not eating the yellow snow. There's no shame in being broke, of course-it is merely a catastrophe. The fourth owner of a '11 Sonata is gonna have a different outlook than the fourth owner of a '73 Mercedes 600 Pullman.
- sgerenser 4mo agoTheir much hyped 10 year 100K mile power train warranty is only for the original purchaser. Once sold the warranty reverts to a more standard 5/60K term.
- qwerpy 4mo agoYou have it backwards. Hyundai, KIA, etc will knock it down to 5yrs/60K for used car buyers.

- dyauspitr 4mo agoWhy would they do that? It just seems like such a bad business move without really affecting anything.
- qwerpy 4mo agoSome MBAs probably calculated that it saves more money than they would lose by pissing off used car buyers. And they want people to buy new cars.
- Marsymars 4mo ago> And they want people to buy new cars. Seems like the effect would be to take off a significant chunk of value off your used car in a way that makes it more difficult to buy a new car.
- AngryData 4mo agoMBAs don't care about what happens a few years from now, they only care about the next quarter or two. By time consequences come back from consumers they will have already been cheered for their contribution and possibly given a bonus for it.
- jerlam 4mo agoAlthough confusingly, the battery/motor on a Hyundai EV is covered under a different 10-year/100K warranty which does transfer to used car buyers. Important because of their unfixed ICCU problems.

- mikestorrent 4mo agoSo true. I hear they replace more engines than any other brand. I'm surprised they sell so well; a used Toyota would be a far better choice than a new Hyundai
- kristofferR 4mo agoHyundai EVs are great though, the Hyundai Ionic 5N is probably the best EV there is (for car enthusiasts).
- BHSPitMonkey 4mo agoSame goes for the ICCU, I guess! (Mine hasn't blown yet, knock on wood...)
