Hi all
I am new to the Hyundai forum! I am considering purchasing my first Hyundai coupe but wanted to know more about them before I decide to commit. I am currently looking at a 53 plate coupe with 72k and full service history 2.0se. Can anyone tell me what sort of problems these cars have so I know what to look out for?
Thanks
John

Check all electrics - alarm, windows&sunroof, central locking.
Inspect for rust on rear arches, leading edge of bonnet.
Check handbrake release and other brake issues - rear calipers give trouble.
Thats the commonest gen3 issues, may have missed some - obv. this is in addition to the obvious and usual such as service history, abnormal gearchanges/ropy drive etc etc.
As an aside, did I sell you a set of jumpleads back in jan '10 - just seen your username, and these folks were in Watford, IIRC?

No definitely not me mate. I'm a mechanic but only been qualified just over a year and only work on Hondas as its a dealer. So never worked on any hyundai. Thanks for the help mate. Are they easily tuneable?

Thank you. I currently have my eye on a gen 3 53 plate with 72k miles. It's going for £1995. Or there's another one exactly same but with 69k miles. What you guys think bout price? Is 72k considered to be high mileage or still got plenty to give?
Thanks

Ok thanks. Ill most likely if its still available go see it Saturday because they close early plus by the time I finish work its pitch dark and never a good time to look at cars at night.
Thanks for all your help I will come back if I do buy this gen 3

Basically aim for 10,000 miles service and a bigger at 20
Cambelt at 50 is a must but whole kit not just belts.sure somebody knows where there's a copy
