What Car? - 3up, Double Budget, OneLap Ride

wait, we're talking about cars with that low of mileage? Oh hell yeah. Here a $3k Sonata is pushing 200k and rusty as hell.

Dude, that black one all day every day. Although I'd offer $3k because I'm wierd like that.

My best friend had a silver 06 Limited. Car got rear ended twice and sideswiped once. He put 160k miles and sold it for $4500 a couple years back. He's not easy on cars. So 122k, absolutely. Drain and fill the trans fluid a couple times and roll. 

I gotta remember to look outside our area more often. those are decent priced cars!

EDIT: Dayum...... need to talk to the wife now. https://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/d/2017-hyundai-sonata-warranty/6298440999.html

Those guys look like a refurb & flip shop:

probably shouldn't be craigslisting under cto  (703 & 571 are normal nova area codes)

not black, it's blue (even better imho... already got a black v6 )

Ahh... I just made a quick look. it's that midnight blue.

Are 3.8L Hyundai sedans desirable? 

This one super cheap with a little "whiskey bump" on the front.  

They seem to be a much forgotten model:

Some specs include 6.1sec for 0-60 as well as 14.8 sec 1/4 mile.  Top speed 141???

They're heavy. 3700lbs

pick this up on your way down to challenge?

my gut reaction is with Bob... mainly because I'm not confident that I can pull 600#s of weight out of it... without out it being obnoxiously obvious.  10 speakers plus an amp add up, but I'm not sure if it adds up to 180#s.

otoh, thanks for pointing it out... I wonder if it's enough of a similar platform for part swaps?  Its front rotors are supposedly 11.93x1.1... and there are H&R springs for it which if put onto a Sonata might give the higher rate along with the required lows?  Might have to find some pick-and-pull azera springs for measuring.

so, I won't rule it out, we'll see what's what when I get enough of my ducks in a row to pick up a candidate

edit to add parts links:

Azera H&R Springs

five months late/later, but... it's on!

and, thanks to everyone who chimed in there with their thoughts!  It's been an, educational experience for me!
