Hi Jack,
I'm looking for a family car with high reliability and also good looking on shape. Found this i45 on trademe.
http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-cars/hyundai/i45/auction-407957304.htm
Budget is around 30,000. Not keen on accord, civic or camary.
Is this a reasonable price for this particular i45? Generally speaking, are i45 reliable cars?

It sounds like a real good deal considering the new price is almost $50K. A good example of the amount of depreciation one suffers when buying new and selling within a short time.

The i45 has had some very good reviews and is considered by many to be an equal to the Honda and Toyota you mention.

It would be nice to know why the car has been traded back to a non Hyundai Dealer but I’m not sure you will ever find out the real story there.

If it passes an independent pre purchase inspection and suits your lifestyle etc then I see no reason not to purchase.

Thanks!

But unfortunately, someone has got it before me. :-(
I think I'll have to keep looking.
