What's Happening?
An Ohio woman, Juliana Renda, shared a peculiar story on TikTok about her mother's old Hyundai Entourage Limited. Three years ago, the vehicle was sold to a junker for $100, with the expectation it would be scrapped. However, during a visit to a Kia dealership, Renda's mother believed she spotted the same van, now refurbished and on sale. The video, which has gained attention online, shows the mother inspecting the van and asserting its identity based on familiar features, despite her daughter's skepticism. The Hyundai Entourage, produced only between 2007 and 2009, is considered rare, adding intrigue to the story.
