Where to find info on a 2004 Hyundai Sonata

So, did you find out if it has Anti Lock / ABS or not?

We all still stay tuned...

Nothing wrong with the Sonota. Hyundai has been making quality cars for years. I would buy one in a heartbeat. I have been watching KIA that is now owned by Hyundai. KIA is a quality car and has been for years. So much so I purchased a 2010 Optima. It shares many parts with the Sonota. I love the thing. I joined the KIA forums for odd ball questions and to follow the track record for the newly designed KIA Optima. I'm interested in the longevity of the 2011 new design from ground up. First year redesignes usually are for beta testing if you get my drift. The 2.0T 274 hp four cylinder has my interest.

Anyway, join the Hyundai forums:

I'm certain you will get good service from the 2004 Sonota.

Well my sister looked in the window when I was still sitting in the driveway at the house and apparently saw a light on the dashboard and said "Oh you have anti-lock brakes, be careful until you get used to them." So, you know I was very careful driving home. But now I think what she was looking at was the light saying the parking brake was engaged. But I could be wrong. I'll have to check the manual to see if there *is* something on the dash or not.

There should be a ABS Service Reminder Indicator on the Instrument Panel

Okay, where the ((ABS)) light should be if appropriate, nothing flashes when I start the car. Plus I found the original dealer sticker for the car and it doesn't list ABS under the optional features. So - no anti-lock brakes.

Also I dropped it off this morning to have the oil changed and everything checked out and my mechanic told me to come up with a price for the Chevy when I'm ready to dump it and let him know, as he is definitely interested in buying it.

Seems like the perfect buyer as he has been working on it for several years and there's nothing about it that he doesn't already know. So we'll see.

But a price? I got no clue. The blue book value probably has a minus sign in front of it.
