I just bought a new car today..

[DiRTyBuNNy]

I know I haven't been around AO much..but I just thought I'd share with everyone my new pride and joy...i just bought a new car today...a 2003 Hyundai Accent...yes..i know..a Hyundai..but it's really nice and with the 5 year/60k mile warranty I won't have to worry about it for pretty much the whole time I own it. I ended up getting rid of my 01 Ford Focus, which has already been in the shop close to a dozen times for various problems. I wanted something small and economical..it's no rice mobile nor is it Cphil's truck...but I'm just starting out so I wanted something that was relatively cheap and spartan so that i wasn't paying $500 a month on a car payment. I won't have pictures of it yet. Just like with everything, I had to be specific about the color, and the one I bought had just come off the truck on Friday and they hadn't had a chance to take all the plastic coverings off and run it through their QA before they give it to me so I get to pick it up on Monday...yeah for me...

I just got my first car about 2 months ago it was a toss up between the 03 focus and 03 accent. I went w/ the focus simply because it was cheaper(fords now have a 3k rebate on em) nice choice though, they are good cars for there price range heres mine

My Son's girlfriend has one (a 2002) She puts a ton of miles on it...it's got over 50k now. It's been a good car for her. I hope you enjoy yours!

If your car has been in teh shop that many times, doesnt the "lemon law" come into effect?

[DiRTyBuNNy]

Yeah..I pick her up tomorrow so I should have pics soon..I found out someone does make lowering springs and an intake for it..hehhehehhehee..

i have a 2002, and it's a great car, every one raggs on it because it's a hyundai, but the only thing i don't liek about it is that it has slow pick up, mines a stick by the way..


cheap cars, but great.

the lemon law states that it has to be the same major problem three times within three years i think. if it was all just minor stuff then that doesn't apply. one of my friends had an intrepid that almost qualified for it, was on its way to a third transmission when the timing chain flew off and the pistons chewed up all the valves. so sucked to be him.

I don't get it... If you're a car company planning to design a rip-off car, why in the hell would you pick a Focus?
