Buying the 2012 Hyundai Equus
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2012 Hyundai Equus for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2012 Hyundai Equus before buying one.
Before you sign for the Equus
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 8 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, engine and suspension; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Reading the spec sheet
It uses the 5.0L 8-cylinder and rear-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
By the EPA's combined rating of 13.0 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 39 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $22.75 to drive 100 km. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who the Equus suits
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Practical details
Being a large sedan, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. At 481 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Equus for a week and see how it fits your life. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$4,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Still deciding?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2012 Hyundai Equus from us first.
