Today I traded in the Terracan (33,000kms) on a NEW diesel Terracan. Got a great deal. The dealer gave me the automatic gearbox for the price of a manual. He said the new car is a demo model (they just registered it the day before) and it has 43 Kms on the speedo. All up with swapping a lot of my extras I got the Terracan on the road for $40,000. A very happy Hyundai owner once again. Yes, I am persistant but will be looking forward to the extra fuel economy even taking in to account the extra
services. I am 56 years of age and have decided that you can't take it with you so why not spend your hard earned dollars on something you want and will enjoy. I have decided that it is horses for courses and if the new Terracan is as good as the last one I will be bloody happy. The Patrol and Cruisers are a very nice vehicle but I am afraid for value for money and the job I want it to do I am a Terracan man. There is nothing with what the Terracan gives for the money available in Australia.
A report after a few thousand Kms.
Cheers
The Bigfella

Hi Brian,
I reckon the Terracan is a very under-rated 4X4. I (
well the wife) has a Hyundai Trajet (7
seat people mover) for 3 1/2 years and its been a great vehicle. The 5 year warranty is great, and it has covered the little things like the plastic hooks and
seat back trays that my
young kids swing off.
The Koreans have almost caught up to the japs in quality stakes, but are far better value for money IMHO. Have fun kitting out yout Terracan, I reckon thats one of the best bits!
Cheers
Captain

I reckon the Terracan Diesel has a market that has not been very
well tapped. I was looking for a
well priced 4 door diesel wagon for years and there was nothing really around. That's why I bought the Rocky, but then ended up having to sell it because it only had 2 doors.
Good luck with it, I reckon it'll be a little ripper!
