My Camry's officially retired. I bought a 2009 Hyundai Accent, dark gray. I was looking for something slightly older (thus cheaper) but this one had a lot going for it:

  • Similar price to a 2006/2007 Corolla or Civic
  • Only 20k miles, great condition
  • 4 years and 40k miles left on the bumper to bumper warranty
  • The exact color and trim (exterior and interior) I prefer
  • Compact and economic (I felt my Camry was bigger than I needed)
  • The dealership I found it at was a mile from my apartment.
  • I'd been interested in Hyundais lately

My credit score was in good shape (790) and I was able to put a nice amount down on it. I'll be paying $220 a month which isn't bad for a certified, nearly-new car.
