I’ve owned this Elantra since new, and it’s been a very reliable car. There have never been any oil leaks or transmission issues — everything runs smoothly as far as I know.
I’ve only done routine maintenance over the years — oil changes, filters, spark plugs, etc. — nothing major or unexpected. It’s never given me any real mechanical trouble. I’ve also kept a simple maintenance log since I bought the car. Most of the mileage is highway — I used it for my daily commute from Salinas to Pacific Grove for about 12 years, plus occasional trips to San Jose once or twice a week.
Serious inquiries only — if your budget is close to the asking price, feel free to email me to schedule a test drive.
