Buying a Hyundai Tucson buyback/lemon
Hello,
I’m currently interested in buying a 2016 awd
Hyundai Tucson. The one I found is $20,777
with 22k miles on it. It has many features
including blind spot detection, navigation,
heated seats, and moon roof. Overall this
sounds like a great deal BUT the car is a
buyback/lemon. According to the dealer the
car was bought back for having a
overheating transmission which they said is a
relatively common complaint with the 2016
model. The dealer has promised that this
issue was fixed by the manufacturer. I did a
test drive and the car seemed to drive
perfectly. It actually was smoother than other
TucsonsI had test driven. It also still has the
original warranty on it with approx 23 months
and 37k miles left on it. My question is is it
worth it to buy a buyback car of this model
with this kind of defect present in the past?
What can I do to ensure this is a resolved
issue especially if this is a common issue
with this model? Are Hyundai’s themselves
generally reliable vehicles?
