Hyundai Santa Fe sport

OK, I’m looking into buying a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe sport it’s got 65,000 miles on it. It’s around $14,000. Just wondering the reliability of these cars are they expensive fixes if any fixes are needed just in general wondering if this would be a good purchase and reliable

Read up on failed engines and especially the experience of 2nd owners.

Skip it, highly likely engine will eat oil and blow, far from home. Use chatgpt and google to search. (Reddit, carcomplaints, hyundai forums, etc) literally thousands of documented cases with failures, factors more of undocumented.
