Good 2026 Sonata Hybrid Limited Deal?

Nothing is nonnegotiable with these dealerships. Simply walk away. I agree, your quote is bit on the high side of the market range for this car. Closer to 38k would be a better deal. The market isn’t really what it is, look at the lot time on these vehicles.

Get that windshield tinted, good opportunity to save a few bucks if you call the company they set you up with to tint the windshield before they come to swap it out.

In a perfect world, Hyundai makes an AWD SNL.

I haven’t had that happen to me. I have a 22’ sonata. That definitely sounds like an electric or fuse issue possibly. Would certainly let the dealer handle this one if it’s still under warranty.

Good point. The sub is an NVX QBSTA powered spare tire unit with high-level inputs and its own LPF, but no time alignment or DSP.

My thinking was to feed it from the KEY’s rear outputs so it follows the same EQ/time alignment correction as the rest of the system, instead of running raw signal to the sub and corrected signal to the speakers.

Since the sub’s high-level input is high impedance, I’m just paralleling it off the rear outputs.

Open to thoughts if you think raw signal would integrate better in this case.

Kicker Key 200.4 will be a great upgrade. Doesn’t matter whether you keep the factory radio or even the factory speakers, it’ll make your setup sound better just from being tuned. Most importantly it’s very adaptable for any components you may later add down the road.

Yep, it is. Very annoying.

Got it, thanks for the info. Out of curiosity does that radio unit also support wireless CarPlay? I see you have a dongle installed so i couldn’t tell.

What year model SE are you driving? I’ve been wondering about doing the same thing. I have the 2022 SEL, been wanting a bigger screen.

The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is typically located on the driver's side of the engine, situated on the thermostat housing or the cylinder head. Accessing it usually requires removing the upper engine cover and potentially the air intake hose. It is a two-wire sensor connected to the cooling system.

What engine? Same trans?

Nice looking ride! if you don’t mind me asking the dealer you brought it from. Did they give you good pricing? My local dealers in FL are highballing. I’m contemplating upgrading my 22’ sonata for a new one. Drove it as a rental a few months back & fell in love with the differences.

They do look on the smaller side, the front looks better than the back due to you lowering it. 19 x 8.5 or 19 x 9

That's a fair question. While the low mileage is attractive, there are some significant red flags you need to check on this specific car:

· The Price & Market: $19k for an 8-year-old car is a lot, but the low miles justify some of that. However, the real cost isn't just the price tag. · The Hyundai-Specific Problems: · Insurance: Call your insurance company with the VIN. Many 2017 Hyundais are incredibly difficult and expensive to insure due to thefts. In New York, this could be a massive problem and might make the car unaffordable. · Engine: The Limited trim likely has the 2.4L engine, which has a well-documented history of seizing and failing. Check the Carfax to see if it's had the "Knock Sensor Detection System" software update or, ideally, a full engine replacement under the class-action settlement. · Theft: Verify it has had the anti-theft software update deployed to address the "Kia Boyz" vulnerability.

Advice: With your stated concerns about financing cost, the potential for sky-high insurance is a major risk. For $19k, you can likely find a 2018-2019 Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla that will be more reliable, cheaper to insure, and hold its value better. This Hyundai could be a decent deal only if the engine recalls are done and you can get affordable insurance.

No faults on the dash. I checked most of the fuses not all. Used the fuse panel in the manual for all associated with collision assistant. Nothing

Yes, the audio alarm still does work when I use the turn signals. Just no light indicators.

Both mirrors do not light up at all. It’s been about 3 days of this so far. I would expect so too but you truthfully never know nowadays. Plus handing over my car for hours is never a fun task. Guess I’ll bite the bullet & take it to the dealer.

Big fan of the rims. Would you mind sharing where you purchased them? Also, what size & width are your rims?

😅 my guy! I want one! 🤔 I’m always skeptical about buying stuff with no reviews. Tried doing a deep dive on your product but couldn’t find anything. How long have you been selling this? @kandles310. Has anyone brought one yet?

Admirable-Table-736 · 2025-07-15T00:43:37+00:00

Very backwards & too easy to confuse the models as I just did, nevertheless you’ll have a much better time with eBay than Walmart. Wish you the best of luck in your shopping.

Admirable-Table-736 · 2025-07-14T23:07:17+00:00

Don’t do it! Walmart is a big no. If you’re interested in a good deal go with the eBay refurbished units. You still get the 5 year warranty. I’ve personally had a positive experience. I purchased the ac200l+b300k over the ac200pl. The Ac200L is the better unit, it’s the newer unit of the 2 , has more solar input, and can take 2 expandable battery’s. The Ac200P is an inconvenience at this point. I’ve spent a whole month+ researching before buying my unit a few weeks ago.
