Why is the used Sonata 9 so cheap?
1 Answers
The poor resale value of the Sonata 9 is due to conflicts within Hyundai's model lineup, where the Sonata 9's market share has been significantly eroded by the Mistra. The Mistra shares the same engine, transmission, chassis, and configurations as the Sonata, and even their appearances are almost identical. The only difference is that the Mistra is substantially cheaper than the Sonata. Additionally, the Mistra has the advantage of a panoramic sunroof, making it hard to find a reason to choose the Sonata 9. Below are some considerations when purchasing a used car: 1. Documentation: Ensure the vehicle's documents are authentic and complete. Verify that the engine number and chassis number on the documents match those on the vehicle, check if the car can be transferred, and confirm whether the vehicle has any liens, court seizures, financial disputes, unresolved traffic violations, or expired inspections and insurance. Also, check if there are any specific requirements for transferring ownership of corporate vehicles. 2. Vehicle condition: Be cautious with cars in poor condition, no matter how cheap they are. After identifying your ideal model, if your budget allows, opt for a newer model year whenever possible.
