WARNING-WHEN BUYING A COUPE-TUSCANI

#1

Post by thedupleman »

do not be tempted to buy "Rare Tuscani models"

in the uk there is no such thing as a Tuscani model.

Many people are caught put by this lie, do not be tempted to pay more for Tuscani models as they are ones modified by enthusiasts and can be worth LESS than standard ones

You have been warned

There are no upgrades of this type approved by Hyundai

are they usually worth less...I guess it depends whether it's been chavved or nicely done. Some come under that bracket yes and certainly should not cost more due to mods but again it depends in what the buyer is looking for.

But in general yes don't be bitten by the rare model bit rubbish

Modified cars invariably sell for less because people are suspicious of anything modified.As a general rule anything stamdard holds better value ESPECIALLY in the trade.of course there are exceptions.

And its a shame because modified cars indicate a lot of effort usually!

Would probably be better to say cars listed as Tuscani have just had there badges swapped over to Tuscani Badges instead of Hyundai badges as they think it looks better.

Actually I've thought about it and can't be bothered to swap all the badges over, I quite enjoy the look on people's faces wondering what it is. Even been asked by a tyre fitter what the car is :icon-lol: Anyway the Tuscany badges are more streamlined making the car go faster

I consistently have people asking what the car is, in my opinion if makes the car look like its worth a lot more money, Hyundai are not known to be expensive cars yet no one has any idea what Tuscani are. :)
