Whatever you don, DON'T let Adrian pick you a beater. He has questionable luck with these things.

he's kinda set on a hyundia or kia b/c of their warranties. but even tho its his winter car, i think there's something better we can find.

how long do speed proteges last? don't want him to spend 5k on a car that will only last 1-2 winters.

I don't think that warranty is transferrable.

From hyundai.com "Second and/or subsequent owners have powertrain components coverage under the 5-Year / 60,000-Mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Excludes coverage for vehicles in commercial use (i.e., taxi, route delivery, delivery service, rental, etc.)."

The key to value is to consider highly reliable models that are not from brands with great resale.

How large of a car does he want or need?
