1998 Hyundai Sonata used

The Hyundai Sonata remained unchanged for 1998 carrying over the mechanical and comfort features of earlier models. There were two engine configurations available for the Hyundai Sonata, one for each trim level. The base Sonata is fitted with a dual-overhead-cam 2.0-liter 4-cylinder while the GLS takes the 3.0 liter V6 engine. Transmission choice is between the 5-speed manual and the 4-speed automatic. It also retains the physical changes undertaken by the 1997 Hyundai Sonata, redesigned front and rear body panels, restructured tail lamps and a new rounded vertical-bar grille. The split folding backseat that was first introduced in 1996 was also adapted by the 1998 model.

The seat made for a larger space when one is needed. A used car buyer would be wise to consider all these facts before making his shopping list. A used car is not what it now is, it was once brand new and most probably had most of the features mentioned in brand new car reviews. So, in order to get a better picture of what you should be getting when shopping for a used car you have to have a good idea of what the used car was as a new one. With all the relevant information in your back pocket, you can now proceed to take stock of the options available for you. Take note of the possible accessories added by the previous owner; that may or may not cost you a dime or two. Also, most important is the number of miles the sedan has racked up and of course its present condition.
