1989 Hyundai Excel review from North America
"A great bargain with few worries"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I just bought this car. The guy told me it was in perfect condition and half way home it started smoking like cray. It's burning oil worse than any car I've ever seen. Now the guy won't return my phone calls. Despite this, I want to keep the car! It drives perfectly and purrs like a kitten. I'm wondering it it's worth it to get the motor rebuilt? Or maybe put a better engine in? If anyone can help me with any suggestions please email me at LoriLeeM2002@yahoo.ca.
General comments?
This car purrs like a kitten.
The paint is still brand new looking.
However it burns oil so badly it blinds drivers behind me.
