No Recommendation
The Elantra AC vent started having a musty smell even after servicing the car on time and changing the filter. I went away for 2 weeks and came back and drove the car, no horn! No sound from the horn. I got a text message from City world Hyundai because I had a bad experience at new Rochelle Hyundai and they did not fix the issue after reporting it to them multiple times. Empire Hyundai of New Rochelle decided to call me about a memorial day sale May 2026 before the horn went out. I told the girl I will think about it before making a decision about leasing another car or finance the Elantra. The girl went for her manager for me to make a decision that day. They wanted me to lease another basic Elantra for over $600 and I said no. I'll finance the one I had. My lease didn't end yet because I had until November 2026 to return the car or lease another one. I even told them I didn't have a down payment! Anyways, they ran so many hard inquiries on my credit I got so many denial letters from all these different banks. I saved the letters. So my credit went from 740 to 704 in such a short time. Fast forward to August 2026, City world Hyundai sales person apologize made it look like he cared. Well, so I thought. They told me that I would have to pay $793 a month for a new Hyundai and offered an SUV. I asked if they didn't have anything else. The general manager said it doesn't make sense to have me pay for another sedan for $793. I told him I couldn't afford it and I said I can afford $650. I was getting ready to leave and he said come back the next day the car is mine for $650 a month for 36 months lease. The next day I went to City world Hyundai and met with finance manager, an asian guy. He asked me if they didn't discuss sales tax and dmv fees for $3200. I said no. He started click clacking his keyboard. He said he'll do me a favor and give me the tucson for $800 plus monthly with free oil change and tire rotation. I thought that whenever you lease a car that automatically included. He said I'll get the first month free as well. Not true. This happen mid Aug 2026. My first bill for $775 is due 9/21/2026. I don't know how I'm going to pay this but I know I won't be setting up auto pay. I even told them they can repossess the car. I went from bad to worse. Today, I checked my credit. My credit is 640. These people don't care about consumers. They care about their money. Shame on that sales man using God to get a sale. I'm very disgusted with Hyundai and I do not recommend anyone to them. The Elantra is low, front wheel drive, basic. Stink smell from the AC and no sound from the horn after leasing the car for 2 years and 7 months.
