The 2005 Hyundai Tiburon sport coupe looks fresh with new front styling. It's a more attractive look, with a single large darkmeshed center opening in the grille flanked by fog lamp openings. Coupled with gilllike vents behind the front fender opening, the Tiburon has the look of a prowling shark, for which it is named. The Tiburon GT is a sporty coupe with a brusque exhaust tone that makes the 172 horses from its V6 engine sound like Clydesdales. The 2.7liter V6 is complemented with crisp handling that makes the GT fun to drive. The base Tiburon GS has a lowemission fourcylinder engine with adequate power for all traffic situations, and good handling that benefits from the sporty chassis design. Compelling pricing makes the Tiburon an attractive proposition. The Tiburon starts at less than $16,000. A Tiburon GT V6 absolutely loaded with leather seats, sunroof, an Infinity audio system, and ABS, retails for $21,229, and the fullyloaded SE with sixspeed transmission and Kenwood MP3 audio system lists for only $21,344. For comparison, the similarly equipped Mitsubishi Eclipse V6 and Toyota Celica GTS both list for over $24,000. Hyundai has emerged as a lowcost producer of attractive cars with performance and panache. The quality of its products has improved tremendously in the past few years, according to the respected quality gurus at J.D. Power and Associates. Hyundai offers the best warranty in the business: 5 years/50,000 miles bumpertobumper and 10 years/100,000 miles for the powertrain.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2005 Hyundai Tiburon, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2005 Hyundai Tiburon for less money than when it was new. If the 2005 Hyundai Tiburon was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2005 Hyundai Tiburon is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2005 Hyundai Tiburon will have a good-fair resale value. This assumes that the 2005 Hyundai Tiburon is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
