Interesting video. Looks like more frequent oil changes and a cleaning of the valves that needed done because of direct injection would have allowed that engine to go many more miles than it did.

What classifies any H/K as "vintage"?@Vermess your thread keeps getting bumped.
What has happened since?
To me from what you stated, the mechanics clearly mis-diagnosed the AC issue and you, and the owner were very frustrated for spending money that wasnt correct. Did they finally solve the issue? Did corporate assist? No need to post paperwork, that is PPI.
Give us closure. Everything else here has been anecdotal comments.
As a side note, I personally like certain vintage Hyundai/Kias, but avoid all since they went DI. My last was a 2008 Kia Sedona, which I see several still on the road today.
Hmm, great question. I pay attention to what is on the road constantly. I no longer see many 2010 or older Elantras, Sonatas or Sedonas. My personal definition there is vintage.What classifies any H/K as "vintage"?

I could say the same for a few other brands to include domestic that compete in the same market. The 2009 "Cash For Clunkers" program sent to the crusher a used car market generation bubble that skews what we see on the market today.Hmm, great question.

Good for her!!! And great choice with the Mazda. Have an older sister, know exactly what you are talking about.Hey bud.
After the AC debacle and engine eating oil and her battles, not even 2 days later that dealership sent her a text that they were looking to stock their used inventory. They bought the car from her at a great price. She was able to use the cash and buy a new Mazda cx5(???) Suv. She loves it.
Word to the wise.....don't get a sister. They drive you bonkers.
