If you're weighing a 2013 Hyundai Accent, the short answer is yes — it earns a look for exceptional fuel economy saves on gas, and simple. The honest trade-off: modest power delivery feels slow on highways. This example sold for $3,995, showed 127,401 km and is rated an official 7.1 L/100km combined.

This 2013 Hyundai Accent sedan in Silver is a budget-friendly commuter with 127,401km on the clock, offering Bluetooth, cruise control, and keyless entry for everyday convenience. It's a straightforward, no-nonsense ride perfect for a first car or a reliable second vehicle. Priced to move at $3,995, this Accent won't last long on our lot at South West Auto Group.

What stood out about this one

I've seen a lot of budget cars come through our lot at South West Auto Group, and the Hyundai Accent always stands out as one that punches above its price point. This 2013 model still has the features that matter most day-to-day — Bluetooth, cruise control, keyless entry — even at this price.

With 127,401km on it, this Accent has some life behind it, but that's exactly why it's priced where it is. It's an honest, affordable option for someone who needs wheels without breaking the bank.

My team and I always encourage buyers to come take a look and drive it for themselves. Sometimes the best deals on our lot are the ones that don't look flashy but deliver exactly what you need.
