Hi everyone!, I picked up another one, this time a one owner 2009 Elantra GLS with 114K miles. It was sitting in a field under tress for about a year. This was in ruff cosmetic condition with the paint covered in dirt, mold and sap, but it started right up with a jump, and i drove it home!. After about a week of cleaning, power washing, lubricating, tightening, waxing ect it looks to be bouncing back! Good mechanical condition, with only needing front sway bar links and maybe shocks and brakes to get it 100%.. T-belt/spark plugs/water pump/coolant/belts has been done at 85K, New tires, feels tight, and pulls nicely on 91 non-ethonal fuel with 10OZ of MMO in tank.. No check engine light - passed NY state inspection on year old gas and gets 30 MPG not even trying. Zero body rust, even the under body is spotless. and has working A/C. How i dont know as this car is a salt belt car.
Now the questions.. What are some of the normal issues with the 2009 Elantra has so i can fix, before they turn into issues haha , I would like to upgrade the current 4 wheel disk brakes, and shocks to get a firmer ride. and while i'm in there maybe throw on the Touring rear sway bar. I also want to ditch the hubcaps, and get Hyundai OEM rims, Do you know what other Hyundai rims will fit? I know i could get the SE rims, but maybe there are other options.
Thank you
