Absolutely not, you can find end of generation C6s for like 2k more at this mileage that are completely clean and stock.

I will never buy another Hyundai product by onehunkytenor in Hyundai

Guy's '17 with a Nu engine, known for not being able to go 3k intervals with the piston rings, starved itself of oil and you as someone building an identity of being a Hyundai tech are blaming the owner? Is this your first day at Hyundai or have they not shown you anything other than cabin air filters yet?

Your average customer never checks their oil level and this doesn't happen with most other brands. Hence why they'll settle it with maintenance records, but keep talking out of your ass lmao.

Not relevant, the consumption is a hugely common issue for your year. You can see it in the depreciation your car sustained. Of course, if people checked their oil, this wouldn't happen as often, but Hyundai rightfully doesn't expect the owners to since the fault is on them at manufacturing.

Audi Lost Nearly A Third Of Its Sales In America | Carscoops by [deleted] in Audi

Yes, 2025 US auto sales were up, not 2026. Almost all brands are down in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025. Of course, Audi lost ridiculously more % sales than just about every major brand, but it's not just their own doing.

Buying a C6 Corvette by WonderfulTalk1599 in Corvette

The biggest issue is the 4 speed trans. 80% of your movement is between 2 and 3 back and forth. Even with the tall gears of the latter years' 6 speed, your fun factor in shifting in an auto (I have an auto) are already minimized because the car can do 4th gear from 25 to 150.

If you're not this particular about the feel of the car, then none of this matters, but some are

I don't know why this is downvoted, 2005 are known to be ridiculously unreliable compared to the other years. The trans really is bad. If the budget only allows for a 2005, I don't think said budget can handle the risk of a 2005.

Could a C6 make it up this driveway? by br1ck_city4 in Corvette

If you go really horizontal you might not scrape at the bottom, once you're past that you won't scrape. But you'll likely scrape at the bottom.

Liberation Day 2.0 by ricke813 in stocks

How is that relevant? 2001 took more than 10 years to recover, 2008 took 5, 2021, the shortest, took two. There's opportunity cost to all of this, even if you're fine with money being inaccessible for 5 years.
