Yes my question is what do you think about a 1996 Hyundai Accent with 180,112 miles on it. The lady says all that is wrong with it is it needs a ignition switch lock but she says with that year you have to purchase the whole ignition cyclinder lock switch!!! Also she states that the 2 front doors do not open from the outside she says it is an easy fix??? She is asking $900 cash!!! What do you think please???

Hopefully its a stick shift no telling how long it will last thats a lot of miles no telling how it was cared for how often oil changes were done if needed repairs were done etc.As far as the doors not opening from the outside it could be something as something the release rods came unhooked.Or bad door latches but i would say most likely the rods came unhooked.

Without seeing the car knowing its history oil changes how often they were done.If there are any repairs that need to be done that wernt done etc.I gave you the best answer i could over the internet not being able to see the car drive the car etc.If i were you i would have a mechanic look the car over before you buy it.That is my honest unbiased opion on the question you are asking.
