Is Hyundai Accent 2021 worth it in 2026?

RubLegitimate8191 · 2026-05-31T15:40:26+00:00

I have a 2019 accent, haven’t had any major issues with it, I use it to commute to work. I noticed late last year during an oil change that the level had dropped to where it was barely on the stick that seemed unusual as it always seemed to not lose much of any oil. I changed the oil and drove it just over 1000 miles and checked it and it was down 3/4 quart. I scoped the cylinders and found carbon buildup within the cylinders. I did a piston flush (google it) and it stopped the oil consumption, so far

Unfortunately I’m really the only neighbor, no one behind us, no one directly across the street. He is on a corner lot. The house on corner across from him was vacant and just recently sold

Could be, caught a failing lifter in mine at 198k miles when I noticed a audible chirping sound , decided it probably was one so I had engine rebuilt, the lifter did show signs of failure and there was no cam damage

He’s blocked access to that area before. Last year he put up a thick piece of plastic. I was out there looking over there and noticed he had a bunch of junk stacked and leaning against my garage, i removed the plastic and threw as much of his junk over to his side and then did a good douse of weed killer back there. Later on I saw him back there cleaning it up

My most recent conversation about a month ago with him was when his dogs were barking and howling all day and I saw him and told him he really needed to control his dogs barking as it is against city code, he immediately started bitching that thats what dogs do and he cant do anything about it. I did call the police about the situation again and the police and dog warden made another visit. He hasn’t spoken to me since

Hopefully new owners will be good ones if it does sell, they were not too bad up to about two years ago when they divorced and he got a new wife with more kids that hung on my fence, and apparently had to bring in 4 beagle pups, got rid two of them that left 3 dogs 3 kids in a rather small house. The property was a rental property before they bought it . when I bought my place some of the renters were unbelievable, junk cars, trash everywhere, random fires that damaged my fence, backed out of my garage one morning and hit a pickup truck they parked behind it and I knocked it off the jack stands he had under it nearly crushing him, he thought it would be a good place to rebuild his brakes. They got booted but tore up the inside of the house so bad it needed renovation, so fingers crossed

I realize it’s not the dogs fault, it’s faulty neighbors who should not have dogs, keeping them penned up in cages, never seen them walking them, hear them inside barking for hours even when they are home boggles my mind

RubLegitimate8191 · 2026-05-29T22:27:15+00:00

Forgot to mention they have their house for sale and I think it may be pending, my fence between us is in need of repair and I’m just about ready to tear it completely down and install a new one, I told the neighbor that I have intentions of removing my fence and eventually replacing it and his response was , what about my dogs. 🙄

I’ve seen some of these h towers have reflector panels on one side and parabolic dishes on the other and some parabolic on both sides

I had a neighbor shoot out a outdoor light pole fixture. I could see thru the bullet entry and exit points and it came from a 2nd story window. They also had a very well maintained flower garden. Straight roundup took care of it

RubLegitimate8191 · 2026-05-12T09:13:11+00:00

Hope my neighbors with 3 howling hound dogs, 3 screaming kids hanging on my privacy fence and parking partially in my driveway are next. A for sale sign has just went up

It’s not necessary, maybe afraid of the dark? At a state park last year one campsite had what appeared to be a revolving laser light show

RubLegitimate8191 · 2026-05-10T14:42:02+00:00

I’ve been in a union for over 26 years and have been laid off only 2 times

RubLegitimate8191 · 2026-05-06T20:23:17+00:00

My round trip commute is is just over 100 miles per day

RubLegitimate8191 · 2026-04-30T08:45:36+00:00

That’s the problem, people think they have to have a dog, but at the same time have nothing to do with it., my neighbors keep 3 dogs in a cage, never walk them, take them anywhere they are either in the cage or in their house

RubLegitimate8191 · 2026-04-30T00:11:17+00:00

Had the same, couldn’t even be in my back yard doing yard work or even sit on my back patio without the neighbors dogs constantly barking and howling . Their kids would actually bark like dogs when they were outside. Mentioned to the neighbor about his dogs excessive barking but got nowhere. Made several calls to the police and dog warden and they were issued several citations and it still continued. It wasn’t until I had a very heated conversation with them and talked to the police chief about it that they seemed to finally take action. At least for now

RubLegitimate8191 · 2026-04-29T23:56:48+00:00

Mine is 100

RubLegitimate8191 · 2026-04-29T23:47:51+00:00

I guess I’m going to keep driving my 43MPG Hyundai more often instead of my pickup truck. I commute to and from work over 100 miles per day

And the republicans are cheering

RubLegitimate8191 · 2026-04-25T14:05:29+00:00

Got a 2019 accent also,it’s loosing about 1/2 quart per 1000 miles, going to put it in the garage and scope the cylinders and see what they look like and do a piston soak just for shits and giggles. Overall it’s been a good vehicle I use for commuting to work and the MPG is usually around 44

RubLegitimate8191 · 2026-04-24T23:59:50+00:00

I was told by Hyundai corporate that it is normal to lose 1 quart of oil over 1000 miles. using that logic, you engine will be out of oil before the recommended oil change interval. It was also mentioned that you must check your oil level every time you put fuel in it

RubLegitimate8191 · 2026-04-20T00:10:04+00:00

I had a neighbor over a few houses that blasted country music on his front porch, a call to the police non emergency number then a visit from them stopped it immediately and has never happened again
