MrRegieRitmo Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 I walked past a local garage with one outside for £995 02 Reg which made me look twice, and then wonder.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogweasel Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 A bag of sand for that much car is not to be sniffed at. PIMPING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Crikey, when I get the Cuore punted off I hope there's no XG30s for sale on the way to the bank. Ideally I'm waiting for them to go below £500, not long now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratdat Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 If I hadn't have go my Vel Satis, I would have probably ended up with an XG30 sooner or later. I think they are pretty smart looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Me too, I love em. I love the big chrome 'HYUNDAI' letters across the bootlid, it shows everyone you've arrived.I remember a pretty good article about them in CAR when they were current, explaining that it was one of those cars which was so uncool, it was actually very cool without realising it.Anyone got a picture of the dashboard of one?

MrRegieRitmo Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 This article makes it sound like we should all go out & buy one! http://uk.cars.yahoo.com/car-reviews/car-and-driving/hyundai-xg30-2002175.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratdat Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I'm definately sold on one now.. it's got a Minidisc player! Shite ICE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Ha ha! Wondered when Bollox would turn up, I don't think there's been an XG30 thread without the Bollox/Hirst/Ratdat XG30 fanclub. I think this practice started about 3 years ago on RR or something. Quite depressing that none of us have managed to get one yet. Here's your dashboard: Looks alright to me, nice cream leather!

andrew e Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I wonder if this is a realative to the Kia (half funded) KV6? Fillers in the right place? If so its Shite kudos go through the roof Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket88 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I've heard that there's autobox issues at high mileage...............but that seems to be the norm with all modern shite, the gearboxes seems to be a weak link, bring back the old GM180 slushbox!

Pillock Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Wow, I'd love one for that money. And I'd take great delight in making 'friends' guess how much I'd paid for it after reeling off a list of equipment and statistics. "Electric heated leather seats, climate and an autochanger. Seven hundred quid mofo!"Seriously though, can't imagine cheaper pseudo-luxury motoring. A similar age galactic-traveller Mongdeo is still £1300 or so, Vectras about the same and more with sensible mileage.xg30.com is worth a read, some quality quotes there. Can't work out if he's reading straight from the press releases or if he's penned this himself....Hyundai's thoughtfulness is well illustrated by the sun visor extension for extra protection on sunny days.Rigorously engineered to satisfy the exacting demands of a true driving enthusiast, the XG30 is also eminently functional, equipped not just for the ultimate in convenience, but also supreme comfort and safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 XG30 sits alongside Honda Legend for me - I'd love one, but would only purchase one at the sort of money that, if something went wrong, I'd be prepared to throw it away at. Spend a grand and I'd feel any problems would have to be sorted, which then gets into a never-ending cycle, but get something with decent MoT and reasonable history for under £500 and it'd be worth a gamble.

Guest Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I think what I'll do is wait until they're £500 for a good one, but also get a salvage one for parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 I don't know, these quotes from the Yahoo Cars article seem to suggest the XG30 is a safe pair of hands!Build quality is well up to top Japanese and European standards with tight-fitting panels, shiny paint and a well-finished interior.There are a lot of electronics built into the XG30, so make sure when inspecting the car that you play with all the buttons, knobs and switches to make sure it all works. Otherwise there's not too much that goes wrong with the XG30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
