Which car is better worth my time?

Asked by Helvayne Oct 18, 2017 at 09:56 AM about the 2017 Hyundai Elantra GT FWD

Question type: Car Selling & Trading In

Okay so I got a 2017 Hyandai Elantra GT several months ago and I think it
was a mistake but I was pushed into getting it. It's brand new and really nice
but not really for me. I think I will just drive it for the next 5-6 years, then
trade it in. Problem is I know it won't sell for much then. I don't want to have
to keep being super careful with it for the next 5 years just to retain more
value. I'm very interested in Toyota 4runners and have heard they retain
value well and can get up to 300-360k miles as well. Would it be worth it to
sell my Elantra now while it's brand new and get a older (2008-10) 4runner
with around 180k miles?

It really depends on how much you are willing to lose right now. The first year is when the biggest depreciation on a new car hits. If you decide to look for a 4Runner, I would look for one with less miles. My wife had a 2007 4Runner a few years ago and it was still in great shape (100K miles) but she was starting to need some extra maintenance (Brakes, Tires, Radiator, etc.) So again, I would look for less miles.
