I have a Hyundai Sonata 2013 GLS with about 93.7k miles. I owned it for 10-11 years and took care of it religiously (changed the oil etc). And it didn't give me any problems for 10 years. Recently, the engine ceased and Hyundai gave me a new engine. I replaced the brakes and belts. A week later, the alternator and battery needed to be replaced (which I replaced)
I'd like to keep the car for another 6 years.
How long do you think the car will last? What do you think I should do with it?
If I sell it, how much do think I should ask for?
Personally I would sell it now while it's under 100k and in good running order, and get something more reliable that will give you less headaches.
There's no way to tell how long it will last. In general, Hyundai quality slipped badly after about 2010.
You have a "new" engine. (Was it really new, rebuilt, or used from wreck?) Have you serviced the transmission regularly?
Might as well keep it at this point until something really expensive goes wrong with it.
Im not sure what type of engine Hyundai gave me. The transmission has been serviced regularly
If it's running OK and not burning a lot of oil might as well hold onto it like I said, given how much a replacement vehicle would cost. Sometimes the devil you know is the best option.
Thanks
Its a remanufactured engine

In that case who knows what kind of a job they did or what shortcuts were taken. Rebuilding an engine properly is a very complex, intricate task. So maybe it would best to get rid of the car while it's still running OK. See what someplace like Carmax or other mass-market used-car retailers will give you for it. (Those are terrible places to buy from but convenient places to dump problem vehicles.)
