how much resale value can I get after 3 year for Hyundai Tucson? Is this car gas gussler?

Question

Been thinking of buying this car but still having second thought. Do I save money wit this compared with Honda CRV at the end of the day?

Answer 1

EPA gas mileage for the Tucson is 19 city/24 highway. That's for the top of the line 2.7 L V6 with four wheel drive. I would say that's not too bad for an suv. The Tucson is a new model so it's hard to say on resale value. The Santa Fe seems to be doing ok in that area though. It all depends on how the car's reputation holds up after a year or two. If there are no recalls and few complaints, it should hold its value pretty well. The quality of Hyundai vehicles has improved dramatically in the last few years and the resale value should begin to reflect that soon.

Hyundai Tucson Resale Value

Answer 3

I am in the auto business and I help members of my credit union purchase cars.

Any time someone is looking to purchase a Hyundai or Kia, I tell them they need to keep the car for a long time, because the resale value is very low. You can't rely on Kelly Blue Book, because KBB is used as a lending tool or for insurance companies (can also be used as a sales tool). The trade in value on Hyundai and Kia are very low, because they do not sell well. The dealer will give you a lower value on the car, because it will sit longer and there is a chance it may sit too long and they will send it to the auction. If they give you a low trade in, they won't lose if they have to auction the car. Also, the longer a used car sits on the lot, the more it costs the dealer. New car inventory is free for 2-3 months, so there is a very small cost tied to a fresh new car.

If you are going to get rid of the car in 3 years, pay the extra money and get a Honda CRV. They are very desirable and the resale value will be much better. Also, if the dealer gives you a bad trade in value, you can easily sell it on your own - you can't do this with the Hyundai.

Good luck and purchase the vehicle that fits your lifestyle and budget.

Answer 4

The Tuscon will be about $3700 less than the CRV and you will get more safety equipment which should make your car insurance bill less expensive. Gas mileage is the gas mileage. The 4cyl will provide better economy but the 6cyl is a much better SUV especially in 4wd. I've driven both and trust me you will prefer the 6cyl! As far as resale in 3 years...it will be worth approx 47% of what you paid for it. This is based on residual values on their leased vehicles. Still, if you weigh all the pros and cons the Hyundai is a good choice primarily because of the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty.

Good Luck and enjoy the new car!
