Hyundai Elantra 2010 Help?
Hi Stephen here from New York. I just brought a used Hyundai Elantra year is 2010 for 10,000 dollars. Is has 31,000 miles on it. Have a quick question what do you think of if the breaks and tires are bad should the dealer fix them or not. I mean the car is going to be inspected by my Mechanic. If he finds problems with these should I make the dealer fix them or is it my problem. I mean I am going to pick up the car on Monday and the first place it is going is to my Mechanic. What do I do if he finds problems with the tires and breaks? The car looks spotless and the test drive I did was pretty good. So I am just wondering and saying this because the car has a little less then 31,000 miles on it and I do not know if this is high mileage to worry about these things? Also if my mechanic finds a problem with tires or breaks what should be done thanks by the dealer. The dealer has been in business over 45 years and has a A- rating on cars.com. Please respond all with any help thanks

31k miles certainly falls into the average life of a set of tires. Brakes? They generally last a bit longer. If the tires need to be replaced that is simply normal wear and tare. No reason the dealer should be responsible unless you negotiated their replacement in your contract. Get a new set of tires for your Elantra if needed. If the ask the dealer to do it they more than likely would put some poor quality, inexpensive tires on your vehicle. You don't want that, go ahead and get some quality tires will the OE's are worn.

Why should the dealer replace the brakes and the tires? If you can negotiate it into the deal then fine but otherwise they have no reason to do it. These are items that are designed to wear out and are the responsibility of the owner.
Personally I would rather take care of those things myself. If you have the dealer do it they will just use the cheapest parts they can to keep their margins.

they are the two recommendations-blowing. i could lean in the direction of the Mazda using fact this is resale fee is larger, and this is plenty extra exciting tocontinual. The Elantra is a little extra of an "economic equipment" looking vehicle, while the Mazda seems cool.
