 Bought 2001 with 98k...knew nothing about Tiburons. Found it at a dealership online.  Was looking at several other vehicles at the dealership.  When arriving at dealership a hot red car was on display prominently in front.  I said to my husband "look at that car, it's so nice!"  My husband said "I think it's the one we are here to see".....I still laugh to this day when I think of that.  I paid $5400 for it not knowing one thing about it.  It was sold as is.  We had a check for $3000 from insurance company because I totaled my family van...,we needed a car since we were driving a rental because of accident.  Did not actually like the way it drove since I was used to a larger family van.  But boy, did I LOVE this little car over the years!!  Black leather seats and moon roof.  We always get looks.  Our boys both had their own cars so we didn't feel too bad treating ourselves to a small sporty car.  I put 55,000 miles on it in 10 years.  Not many problems.  Just rust that developed on driver door and lights burn fairly often.  I am thinking of replacing the door and having it painted.  Can't give it up :(  but I'm currently investigating rav4's but keeping my tib!
