I may buy an '06 Elantra Hatchback GT with 51K miles. I drove the car in the
city and on the highway. it drives well and seems to be tight except the
clutch feels weak, very similar to the clutch in my Saturn with 121K miles.
What should I check the car for? I know it'll need a timing belt at 60K
..Should I take it to a Hyundai mechanic outside of the dealership?

Should I post this message at any other forum?

Thanks

Original Post:

"I'm looking to buy a '06 Elantra Hatchback Limited GT w/ 51K miles on
it. The clutch seems weak. How do I test it for slippage? How much does
it cost to replace it? Should I also post this question in another forum?"

Looks like the same car to me and the same basic question.
