- My neighbor was ready to retire his 2007 Hyundai Sonata. I told him I'd give him $300 which was more than the junk yard was willing to pay. The engine had been replaced early in its life so I'm assuming this engine had around 300k on it. I sold the car to someone who took an interest in it.

These old Hyundai Sonatas from 1999 thru 2010 are great cars that wont suffer of engine issues that the newer models have. I own a 1999 Hyundai Sonata GLS fully loaded with the 2.5 Delta V6 engine and the F4A42 Mitsubishi built automatic transmission and it's been a great car. Currently has 152k miles and it has never left me stranded. I'm keeping it till the wheels fall off.
Oh for sure, You have a great car! I kind of have a liking to the older ones with a manual transmission.
Have a 2009 Sonata … 3 years I’ve owned 122,000 miles. Good to know I can go about 150,000-200k more miles
@@hipsterboiwavy2723I have one that’s 350 km and runs like water I’d say it will run for even longer my friend
Hello any Update on this car? How many miles have this car now? Still the original motor? Thank you
I just bought an 04 with 166,000 MI I don't know if the timing belts been done or not so that's definitely on my list but I bought it for $2,000 and everything works on it and it is so cheap and easy to work on
I own an 08 sonata, also a 3.3L V6. They are great reliable cars and I’m not surprised this one has over 300k miles on it.
I'm planning to buy one bro, it's also a V6.
Do you have any recommendations or things I should look out for ?
@@faraz2128only thing I’d tell u is just expect small electronic things to malfunction at times. Stuff like dashboard lights or maybe the key fob. Really nothing serious, just normal things that come with age. Otherwise these cars live forever, just the other day I started mine after being buried in the snow and sitting for a year. Just needed a jumpstart and it drove great.
This generation sonata is my favorite very roomy and reliable
LOOKS PRETTY NICE!
The interior has held up well for 330k miles! And it seems the engine has held up well for 300k.
The higher mileage cars don't scare me. Got over 200k on every car I owned. I have over 300k on my olds alero. They dont' seem to get less reliable as they age either. I still drive them on long trips.
Same here! Mileage doesn’t scare me a bit.
What is the highest mileage you have attained? I am a Lyft driver and have a 2022 Sonata and have already put 30K on it.
@@cameronwhite3595Helpful Hint: never tell the Hyundai dealership when going for warranty work that your're using your car for Uber/Lyft or deliveries. They'll deny coverage if they find out. The newer Sonatas aren't as reliable as the pre 2011 models. Engine & transmission failure is common around 100k miles and the dealerships are notorious for refusing to honor the 10 year/100k mile warranty. Another channel- Scotty Kilmer- master mechanic- has videos on the Hyundai & Kia problems because they share the same powertrain suppliers.
very reliable car 👍💯😎
People sleep on hyundai too much. They may not have the legendary status of toyota or honda but if you take care of them they wont let you down for a long time

About a month ago I just bought an 04 with 166,000 MI it's only needed very minor repairs leak in the intake PCV valve and rear shock and it's good to go I would recommend the v6s of these older ones but the Hyundai's are actually very reliable and cheap
Very true, they will definitely go the miles for you if keep them going.
I would like to find a 6 cyl Asian midsize car around this vintage. Good mpgs and I don’t have to worry about it rusting out in the WI road salt or if I hit a deer (I live in the sticks and commute 35 miles to/from work)
That would be good! This car hit at least one deer and survived. It’s always nice when you don’t have to worry about a car.
That will probably last longer than the new car he bought
Did the prior owner say if these high miles were from highway commuting? They say highway mileage only wears the engine 10% of the wear of stop and go city driving.
I know he bought the car when it was not very old and kept it until I got it. It had an engine problem very early on in its life after that was taken care of it was a very solid car. It was driven daily for work a combination of city and highway miles I would say probably 75 % highway based on where he lived, the only time it got anything was when it broke.
Nice car
I own a 2012 hyundai
Never broke down in 8 years ownership
Ice cold ac
Sounds like you got a great car! Probably good MPG too. Thank You!
Needs a bit of tidying up, interior looks ok. Those space savers are NOT great, more of a get you home thing but some people leave them on far too long!!
I agree!
Any cars from Kia and Hyundai between 2000 and 2011 is very reliable
I got a 2010 Kia in great condition with 420,000 miles
Wow alot miles for a hyundai
Yes it is!
Make a nice commuter/ beater.
Exactly
My old man had one of these back in the day and it was quick! Only thing I would be concerned about it if/when the timing belt was done
Luckily this engine has a timing chain.
Yeah some have timing chains which is the Japanese secret
Hyundai is building Sonatas in South Korea. I hope your Sonata was U.S built, (vin no. would start with 1,4 or 5).
Good information!
Which one is better?
@@highmileagehopes9860 THANK YOU!
I had a Volvo 940 or 740 I forget which as I've had over ten Volvo's in my time both models and more but it had just over 675.000 miles and that was when the clocks broke I had it for 2 years after with alot of hard long distance driving nothing wrong with high mile cars much rather have a hike mile car looked after than a low mile shitbox
That’s so true! Volvos are good cars I hear, never owned one but have heard great success about them.
@@highmileagehopes9860 all I ever done was break calipers pads and tyres think an exhaust to but that was my fault unfortunately I can't offord to drive atm as I care for s relative when they ent in the hospital but when time comes and I go back to work if like a ford Sierra xr4i a Volvo 240 wagon and a 740 wagon
It would make a good car for a college student. You probably have already sold it by now.
Perfect college car. Yes I sold it.
The NF Sonata and the cars related to it mechanically (second gen Santa Fe, first gen Azera, second gen Sedona, second gen Sorento) are extremely ruggedly engineered vehicles. They never drove suuuper well, as Hyundai-Kia were still making suspensions that somehow crashed over every bump and floated like a ship at sea even when brand new, but the Lambda V6 is a very strong engine (the starter is a PITA) in pre-GDI form, good for well over 200k miles, the transmissions are very strong, and they are fairly rust resistant. It was Hyundai's 1992 Camry without the nice interior. Speaking of, the interiors are very cheap but resiliant, the door chime is extremely annoying, the sound systems were total garbage even new, with all the clarity and depth of a circa-2005 flip phone MIDI speaker. But the major mechanicals and body integrity are fantastic, and aside from some 2.4l oil use issues, solid bets. Stick with the 3.3 or 3.8l versions of those cars (3.8 came in the Sedona and Azera, the Santa Fe also had the pretty crappy old Mitsu-based 2.7 in mid trims) and you have a solid, zero-resale, often overlooked and disposed of gas guzzler of a vehicle that can live as long as most 90s Toyotas with similar running costs.
Very good information, thank you!
What state are you in? Looking for a cash car.
Washington State
@@highmileagehopes9860 I bought a car is Wash State (Seattle) in 2001. Flew out, drove it 3800 miles back to Florida in 5 days, kinda cuz I wanted to drive across the USA once in my life.
Is she still running?
When I sold it a little over a year ago it was.
With how many miles?
Thank you
Tengo uno con 120mil miyas 3.3v6 i tube uno q duro 300mil miyas i murió por un descuido
Son buenísimos i rrapidos
do those cars burn oil like you hear about toyotas?
I haven't heard about them burning oil excessively. However I haven't owned many Hyundais.
OK@@highmileagehopes9860
