I am not a fan of K-drama but recently found that I may have a love for their cars , specially this one below, the Elantra.
Actually I am looking for more info and guidance to verify I'm going in a good direction. I'm interested in 2010/11 5th Gen model and this would be my 2nd car (owns a Vitz) and I'd use it as a daily driver. Fuel economy is not a big concern but would like to know average numbers from people who have driven the car. What I really want to focus on is, repairs, parts availability, known issues if any, safety, ride pleasure and comfort.
There are not many available for sale in popular sites but I'm keeping an eye. Before actually inspect/test drive one, I like to know more about the car.
Restoring a 90's Diesel.
Gentlemen, What are your thoughts on doing a soft-resto on an unhacked Nissan SB14 that has been sitting around for 8 years?
1997 car registered in 2000. Manual gears, 2L CD20 diesel. Single owner -Decased. Family who are known to me - dont use it. Unhacked body and almost pristine interior. Clean body lines, no accidents. Complete car and appears untouched by makabasses. Engine shows signs of under-compression, brakes and clutch-plate need replacing, tyres are on the brink of decomposing. Power mirrors do not work. Needs a paint job. No major corrosion but early-stage rust spots on the boot lid.
Nissan might close down operations in 12 -14 months? https://www.carscoops.com/2024/11/nissan-exec-says-we-have-12-or-14-months-to-survive/ Are we going to see more companies shutting down or is this a one off. So much for the new GTR and the new Patrol.
Is there an alternative to the Maruti 800? A friend of mine is looking for an extremely cheap to run and fix car for around 1.5M. While I do advocate old Japanese cars in that budget - if his need is basic A-B motoring at the lowest possible cost - maintenance wise and with fuel - is there any other option that I am forgetting?
