Every single one of her window regulators (electric) failed over the life of the car, she replaced 2 of them at over $385 each and on the second 2 decided it just wasn't worth it (and she was broke). Seriously, all 4 of them.

My Dad's old ford Aerostar went through both of his so that makes the hyundia on par with a ford I guess but they didn't cost $385 to repair.

My Nissan Xterra went through one and I was able to replace it for $75.

I don't think I'm going to buy one.

Window regulators on E46 BMWs seem to last 2-3 years on average. Nearly all E46s have had some/all of their window regulators replaced. So BMW = Hyundai?

I wouldn't buy one either, but I also wouldn't buy an Accord.
