Not too familiar with them. Are these the easy to steal models? Do they have engine problems that I hear posted about frequently, and if so, is there some extended warranty? Says its an SE with the 2.5L.

Looks quite good on the outside…

And I’m crazy and seeing right but does that car have 250,000 plus miles ? ?

Holy frigging cow…

You have a boroscope ? I’d check inside that top end of that motor and see how it looks.
 
It's got built in "Wing". Neat looking car. Those miles are mostly highway so not a total dead deal but it's still a lot of wear. Is there any place that would even warranty it with that many miles? I wouldn't think so but..
 
$500? Go for it. $5000? Not likely. But why do you want such a worn out car with problem lights?
One with 50,000 miles would go for $18,000. If I can get it for under $8,000 it would be a good deal to me. Most any high mileage used car that someone is selling will have lights on. At least they didn't reset it to hide a problem.
 
A 250k mile Hyundai for $8k? NO FRIGGEN WAY! If the engine blew-up tomorrow it would be a $500 salvage car, and with Hyundai's reputation for short-lived engines, this is not beyond the realm of possibility. I wouldn't be surprised if the engine hasn't already been replaced.
