Here's an example fault on the HYUNDAI Sonata (1994 - 2001)
What to look for:
On cars that are less than 5 years old, check the paperwork to ensure the car has been serviced on schedule throughout the period to date. This will ensure the car's warranty is valid.
What it means:
One of the key elements that helps hold any Hyundai's value is the five year warranty. In the Sonata's case it is especially important because the brake fluid must be changed within this schedule to ensure the continued safety of the car.
What to do
Negotiate a significant discount for a car without a valid warranty. Have the brakes serviced before driving the car.
