..car. Wife wants to buy an electric vehicle once the supply chain settles down so I picked this Hyundai up for the time being but recent news indicated that many folks in Wisconsin loves to go on FRAUD mode with Korean cars ???
Milwaukee car thieves are crazy for Hyundais and Kias

The city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is another metro area dealing with rising crime rates, car theft in particular having become another epidemic. Thieves stole 4,254 vehicles in Milwaukee last 2020, a figure that was 29% up on the number of thefts in 2019. The reversal countered a trend of declining grand theft auto in the city since 2015. As various outlets have reported, from the beginning of this year until October 18, 8,432 car owners had their rides stolen, a supercharged boost of nearly 172%. Over the summer, the increase over last year had been even higher, at 192%. The city's prior high was nearly 8,500 car thefts in 2006; this year is on pace to break 10,000 stolen cars.
Within those figures, sometime last fall, local police noticed car thieves beginning to focus on 2011-or-newer Kia models and 2015-or-newer Hyundai models, the two brands having become a particular specialty since. One report saying Hyundai thefts were up by 1,715%, Kia thefts up 3,183%, both brands making up two-thirds of total thefts. No one is sure why, though; Denver is the only other city in the country where the South Korean brands have become low hanging fruit.
Anyways, picked this Hyundai up and will use it for now. Then once my wife gets her EV, we'll mostly donate it like what we've done in the past with some of our vehicles:

My first Korean car was a Hyundai Sonata and it did pretty well too back in the 90s...in terms of dollar per value..
This one has lots of miles but I'm mechanically incline enough that I don't worry about it..First thing I did was change the oil and filters (motor, air, and cabin). I've also clean the intake's carbon deposits and it's running fine and strong thus far:

Something else I like to do with used cars especially those with high mileage on the ODO is pull all the seats as well as organizers out so I can really clean and detail it before putting my family in it. It's all about the health, well-being and safety of my family especially with COVID and all:

Found this under the carpet in the trunk/cargo area near the rear bumper...No big deal though, just a quick chlorine treatment and it's all good. Again, I take the time because it's all about my family's health and well-being so being clean is a good thing:
