Date: October 14, 2021. Action: Bought a used 2012 HYUNDAI ACCENT SE (VIN: KMHCU5AE9CU016179) at Checkered Flag Auto Outlet in Virginia Beach, VA at approx. 87,384 miles on it. Needed a vehicle temporarily until I had the money to buy a brand new vehicle. Was good until I the excessive oil consumption issue with it came up around the 94,000 mileage mark. The underside/engine rattles at certain MPH (55 MPH) and when accelerating. P0326, P0269, P0130 are the most that come up with this vehicle. Throughout the 2024 year, several things were replaced due to old age, high mileage, and excessive oil consumption issue. 2/5/24, spent some money to have all four coil packs replaced, all four spark plugs replaced, and the serpentine belt replaced at Chimney Hill Firestone (Virginia Beach, VA) at the 117,000 mileage mark; 2/23/24, spent some money to replace two tires at Discount Tire off of Holland Road (Virginia Beach, VA); 6/1/24, spent some money to replace the old battery with a new battery as it was on it's last leg at Advanced Auto Parts (Virginia Beach, VA) at the 121,000 mileage mark; 8/15/24, spent some money to replace all four fuel injectors with four new ones at Thalia Automotive (Norfolk, VA) at the 125,000 mileage mark; and 8/23/24, spent some money on a replacing the old alternator with a new alternator at Firestone (Virginia Beach, VA) at the 125,000 mileage mark. Sold it back as a trade-in at $1700 2024 at the 126,600 mileage mark.

OK car
The car will work for someone with a small budget and desire a comfortable reliable ride. I recommend you buy it from a truly solid dealer that knows how to fix it with out excuses.
