Hyundai Accent 1999: bought it for $11000 brand new. No problem. Driven about 105k miles. Looks like I must be on the way to break Accent's world record. I maintain the car myself most of the time. Plus points: starts without a problem every single time. Cheap, high mileage. Negative point: those in SUVs following me tend to be frustrated at my speed(especially way up). Analysis: price per year: $11000/7 years = $1571 /year miles/cost = 105000/11000 = 9.5 mile/$1 number of blond looks/per ride = 0 I sometimes consider of trading it but just can't because so far there is no reason.
