Hyundai Elantra • 2002 • 134,700 km • ₡ 2300000 CRC

This 2002 Hyundai Elantra is 16+ years old, which moves it into project / collectible / hand-me-down territory. Pricing in this band has more to do with condition and rarity than age. Inspect for rust, frame integrity, and electrical wear — none of which the 2002 fuel-economy spec sheet will warn you about.

This listing is below the typical mileage band for a 2002 Hyundai — most Elantras of this age show closer to 15-20k km/year. Low mileage is a price-supporting attribute but verify the odometer hasn't been rolled back (check service records and inspection-station logs in Costa Rica).

Alajuela, Alajuela is a smaller market — comparable Hyundai Elantra listings are scarce, so this sedan can carry a small premium for buyers who can't find local alternatives. Be transparent about condition; buyers who travel for a listing typically expect what they see in the photos.

For an older Hyundai Elantra like this one, prioritize: timing belt/chain interval (ask for the last replacement receipt), suspension bushings and shocks, brake-fluid condition, transmission service history, and rust on the rocker panels and subframe. A pre-purchase inspection at an independent shop pays for itself many times over at this age.

Costa Rica requires SOAT (or its local equivalent) — basic third-party liability included with annual registration. For a premium-tier Hyundai Elantra, full-coverage private insurance on top usually runs 3-7% of the vehicle's market value per year. Quote with two or three carriers before listing day; rates vary widely by Alajuela.

Gasoline pricing in Costa Rica is moderate. For this Elantra, expect monthly fuel cost to scale roughly with kilometers driven and the manufacturer-rated economy minus 10-15% for real-world conditions.

This is a private-seller listing. For a premium-tier purchase like this Hyundai Elantra, the buyer usually pre-arranges financing with their own bank or credit union — get pre-approval before contacting the seller. The seller will typically wait for funds to clear before signing over the title.

In Alajuela, Costa Rica, you'll need the original title signed over by the seller, a bill of sale, a current emissions / safety inspection where required by Alajuela, a VIN-match verification, and proof of insurance to take possession. The state DMV or motor-vehicle agency processes the transfer; many do it the same day.

This is a private-seller listing — an individual selling their own Hyundai Elantra, not a business. Treat it like any other person-to-person purchase: meet in a safe public location (a police-station parking lot is the gold standard), verify the seller's ID against the title before any money changes hands, and never wire funds before seeing the vehicle in person.

A 16+ year-old Hyundai Elantra is past its depreciation trough — pricing from here is condition-driven, not age-driven. Documented examples of desirable trims can appreciate; rough examples stay flat or depreciate as parts availability tightens. Set the price by recent comparable sold prices, not by asking prices.

If the seller still owes a bank or finance company against this Hyundai Elantra, the title has a lien recorded. Do NOT hand over funds before the lien is released. Standard practice in Costa Rica: buyer's bank pays the lender directly for the loan balance and pays the seller for the remainder, with the lender's release letter arriving alongside the new title. Verify the lien status through whatever public registry Costa Rica uses (DMV / DETRAN / Registro Civil / etc.) before agreeing to a purchase price.
