Fair price, market signal, reviews, and common issues — all in one place. Tuned to ZIP 43215 (from your location).
Fair price range

low confidence
Why low confidence?
Older or very high-mileage cars are rarer on the market, so pricing has a wider spread. Treat the range as directional rather than a precise number.
Est. out-the-door

$2,473 — $3,063
What's OTD?
Out-the-door is the total check you actually write — asking price + sales tax + doc fee + registration. Reddit “what I paid” reports are usually OTD, so this is the honest number to compare against.
Listing: $2,000 + $145 tax + $500 doc + $150 reg = $2,795

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
HYUNDAI IS RECALLING 3,011 MODEL YEAR 2005-2007 ELANTRA, TUCSON, SONATA, AZERA AND ACCENT VEHICLES. A MALFUNCTIONING STOP LAMP SWITCH MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO FAIL TO ILLUMINATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED OR MAY CAUSE THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS RELEASED. A DEFECTIVE STOP LAMP SWITCH MAY ALSO AFFECT THE OPERATION OF THE BRAKE-TRANSMISSION SHIFT INTERLOCK FEATURE SO THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BE SHIFT OUT OF THE "PARK" POSITION. IT MAY ALSO CAUSE THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC) MALFUNCTION LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE, AND IT MAY NOT DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED.
