The Accent is down to $700. Do you think that is negotiatiable?
It is a 5-speed, but depending on the engine it is either rated 24/33 or 23/34, so not technically it doesn't belong here, my apologies.
Okay, technically only HX Civics from 1996-2000 belong here. The non-VTEC (DX?) one is rated 27/33, the SOHC VTEC (LX?) one is rated 25/32, and the DOHC VTEC (EX?) one is rated 22/29.
Technically I should compare the 2001 Civic, but I am unfamiliar with that generation.
Let's say that you can buy the Accent for $700 and average 27 MPG or a Civic for $1,500 and average 30 MPG. FuelEconomy.gov says the Civic would save you $100 a year over the Hyundai, so it would take 8 years to break even, but what are the chances the Korean car will still be running in 2028 compared to the popular Japanese one?
How would maintenance on either be?
The owner calls the Hyundai ugly. Can I fix that and flip it?
