Default my bro is in town and gave back my sonota

well it is a 01 hyundai sonota my brother just got here this morning and he is car hunting. he does not like driving a car that has over 300k on it and periodly puffs oil smoke do to the valve guid seals. man this freakin car still has its pep i had to do a major tune up and a two 5 minute oil treatment due to how the oil came out like syrup. i mean the oil barely came out the pan when i removed the plug. right now i am waiting for the valve guid seals to get to the dealer so i can get them. ironicaly it is a model that did not have this problem like the elantra. but after that it should run like a champ it does right now after the oil change and tune up i am suprised it ran due to the condition of the oil and how the spark plugs were. plugs didnt even have a tip any more literaly i am wondering how it moved or at least started.

Good for you man, its always good to have another car, to save the Monte from running up in miles.
But that Sonata has lasted wow that many miles congrats.

its not really the miles that i am worried about my brother does not believe in main taining any car that he drives. it was the condition the oil and the plugs were in but the bright side is i do have a beater. so far it passes exept for the clutch is hanging in on a thread per say its on the way out quick fast and in a hurry. i drove it just recently every thing wants to run but the clutch is saying hell no no more please. i think i can baby it till i get the money for it so i can keep the miles off of the monte that i have and put as meany as i can with the sonata
