Oldie but goodie
When we bought our 2008 Sonata, it was July 2010 and the car had about 30,000 miles on it. We thought we’d get 5 years out of it before trading it in, because we don’t like to get stranded, and we don’t like the depreciation of a new car. Currently we have about 140,000 miles on it, and while making “normal” repairs and consistent maintenance, it’s still cost us less than $100 per month and nothing serious has happened to us.
