159,000 miles, it is only rated 26/33, but the owner claims that it gets 39 MPG.
How does that tiny useless thing only get 33 MPG on the highway?!

New battery, registered, tagged, ran fine til 4 days ago. Needs camshaft position sensor. Gets 39 mpg

Registration and tags are more than the Civic hatchback has, and that scrape all of the way down the very short side means that its value is slashed!
Am I supposed to believe that this thing would be worth $800 without that scrape?!
AutoZone and O'Reilly's don't show those sensors in-town, but RockAuto will ship one for $18.38 and it says "Hyundai." Amazon has a Geniune Hyundai [who's impressed?!] one for $30, so I should check part numbers or something.
RepairPal and Your Mechanic say this would cost $200. I forget how much the shop wanted to swap the one for my Forester, but each of them is one wire and one bolt, right on top of the engine.
