Why the wide range? Price depends mostly on configuration and mileage — see below.

Frequently asked questions
Why do 2012 Hyundai Elantra prices range from $2,795 to $12,000?
The spread comes down to configuration and mileage: higher-mileage, base-configuration examples sit near the low end, while low-mileage and premium configurations reach the top. Half of all listings fall between $5,649 and $7,995 — see the mileage and trim breakdowns above for where a specific vehicle lands.
How much should mileage change the price of a 2012 Hyundai Elantra?
Across the lowest- and highest-mileage groups, asking prices differ by roughly $600 per 10,000 miles. These groups contain different vehicles: this is not a same-trim adjustment or a forecast for one car. Compare the mileage and trim tables, then check condition, equipment and vehicle history.
How many 2012 Hyundai Elantra are for sale right now?
270 in total, nearly all pre-owned. Counts refresh daily from live dealer inventory.
Is this the trade-in value or private-party value of my 2012 Hyundai Elantra?
These figures describe dealer asking prices, not trade-in offers, private-party sale values or completed sale prices. Use them to compare advertised vehicles. To find out what a buyer or dealer would pay for your car, request an offer that takes its mileage, condition, equipment and history into account.
How we calculate these prices
We track 270 active listings for this vehicle across dealer sites nationwide, updated every day. Average and median are computed from real asking prices on live listings. We exclude the top and bottom 2% of prices to reduce the influence of extreme values. This does not verify title status or guarantee that every erroneous listing is excluded. Prices reflect dealer asking prices — not final sale prices — and exclude taxes, fees, and incentives. Trim and mileage move the price more than any other factor; see the breakdowns above.
