Owner's Pitch
"2014 Elantra SE with just 125,000 original miles. Engine starts and runs perfectly, and the interior/exterior are well-maintained for the year. This is a mechanic special requiring transmission work (goes into reverse but not drive). Clean title and high potential for a builder or project car. Priced for immediate sale."

CallDescription
Overview: This 2014 Hyundai Elantra SE features a 1.8L engine and has only 124,000 original miles. The car starts and runs well with all electronic components functioning properly.
Condition and Issues: Please note this is a 'Mechanic Special.' The vehicle only goes into reverse and will not engage in drive. It requires a transmission repair or replacement to be roadworthy.
History and Terms: The vehicle comes with a clean title and is being sold as-is. It serves as an excellent project car, fixer, or high-quality parts car for the right buyer.
Market Highlights
- The Mechanic Special Opportunity: In the 2026 used car market, vehicles under $2,000 with clean titles are increasingly rare. This Elantra represents a high-margin opportunity for a buyer with mechanical skills, as its 'fixed' value is significantly higher than the investment required.
- Regional Demand for Fixers: Northern California, specifically the Rancho Cordova area, has a robust secondary market for rebuildable vehicles. Low-mileage engines like this 1.8L remain in high demand for parts or as the foundation for a reliable daily commuter once the transmission is addressed.
- Model Reliability Context: The 2014 Elantra is generally considered a solid commuter. While the transmission failure is a major hurdle, the lack of severe engine issues or body damage makes this specific unit a safer bet than most 'non-running' listings in the same price bracket.
