An Ohio woman sold her Hyundai Entourage Limited to a junker three years ago for $100. Then she went to a Kia dealership and found a car that looked suspiciously like the one she previously owned.
TikTok user Juliana Renda (@juliana_renda) told her mother’s unlikely Hyundai story in a video posted on Sunday. “POV: Your mom sold her van to a random man for $100 three years ago and is convinced she found it at a dealership,” she said in the video’s on-screen caption.
The video shows Renda’s mother inspecting the interior of a tan Hyundai Entourage Limited van. She tells the camera her theory.
“That is our car,” she says of the junker. “They took that thing and said they were taking it to the dump, and they sold it. And, look, they put a new exhaust on it.”
“Mom, that’s not ours,” Renda says.
The mother and daughter circle the vehicle, noting aspects that remind them of their old one. Other blemishes and features they don’t recognize. At the end of the video, the pair gets into their current vehicle.
“Mom, you know they made more than one car, right?” Renda jokes.
Her mother disagrees: “I’m telling you. I think that is it.”
In the caption, Renda writes, “If you work at Kia in Lewis Center, Ohio, we have questions and need the VIN number, ASAP.”
In the comments section, viewers speculated about the circumstances surrounding the vehicle’s sale. “$100 for a mini van is crazy,” wrote one person. “Was there something wrong with it?”
A second user replied, “Did you not hear the mom say, ‘They took that thing saying they were going to take it to the dump?’ Obviously, something major was wrong with it.”
A third person wrote, “That’s what people do. Buy scrap cars. Repair them. And sell them to places like Carmax.”
Another person said, “For the record, it may have been yours, since nobody bought the Hyundai Entourage. They are actually super rare.”
Hyundai released the Entourage for just two model years between 2007 and 2009, which naturally means it’ll be harder to find on the used market than other minivans. If you can find a Limited, it’ll cost you around $3,600—although, of course, that depends on the condition of the vehicle and demand in your area.
