Chicago, Illinois, United States

Up for sale is my 02 Kia Sportage with selectable 4WD. I've loved and cared for this car while I've had it, but for me it's time to stop putting money into it and get a car with an automatic transmission. This car would make a perfect fun weekend four-wheeler or regular stuff-mover. Comfortable enough as a daily driver or road tripper, with enough power and agility to work your way through what the road throws at you.

The full gallery (27 pictures) is available by request and I can add detail pictures as requested. Please send me a message with any questions.

PLEASE READ THE VEHICLE DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY.
This vehicle is being sold AS-IS with no warranty, expressed or implied.
It is your responsibility to contact me to inspect and/or test drive the vehicle before bidding. Bid if you are willing and able to purchase the car.
This car is also listed locally. I reserve the right to sell the car locally before auction close if the reserve price has not yet been met by bidders.
If your feedback is 1 or lower, please send me a message before bidding or your bid may be cancelled.

Condition
Generally good condition. Very good body and interior condition for its age, drives down the road straight and easy. Besides what is described here, no other known issues. I will include complete records from while I owned it, none were available from the dealer in PA who sold me the car. I had regular oil changes.

There is no rust anywhere I'm aware of. 
Some very minor scratches here and there, one ding on the right rear door. Very minor wear-and-tear.
CEL is on. With the CEL on the car will not pass Illinois emissions testing. In effort to track down and repair I have replaced in past month:
-Thermostat & gasket, drain & fill radiator
-O2 sensors (repl with Bosch sensors)
-Exhaust work - repl flexpipe bellows
Current CEL code: P0432

While I've owned the car, I also did this work:
-Used fuel system cleaner Apr '13
-Repl all 5 tires Jun '13
-Repl fuel filter Jul '13
-Repl air filter Summer '13
-Repl front brake pads & lube Nov '13
-Repl front brake calipers Dec '13
-Repl front wheel hubs with WARN manual 60247 Mar '14

Have complete gas mileage log 3/13-3/14. 

Features
-WARN manual hubs as mentioned for the 4WD.
-Car has added RF modulator inline with the antenna to connect a music player using an RCA cable.
-12VDC in cigarette lighter and inside liftgate area.

History
-I purchased the car about a year ago from a dealer in PA on eBay. Item 310624507023 from uncamikey (3347). He had no records, but the history report came back clear.
-I drove the car from PA to Chicago where it has been my daily driver for a highway commute usually off rush hour period. I took a handful of trips out of town. In one year I drove the car about 8,830 miles.
-This winter has been very cold and long in Chicago but besides the front hubs, the cold/ice/snow left no damage.
-I never used the car as an aggressive four-wheeler (most just used 4wd for icy parallel parking) or drove off-road.
-I rotated the tires once after purchasing in November 2013 using a rearward cross pattern. That's why you see the steel rim installed and the alloy wheel on the spare mount.

Shipping and Payment
-Please submit $500 deposit via PayPal within 24 hours of auction close. 
-Full payment is due within 3 days of auction close. Payment must clear before I will sign over the title and hand over control of the vehicle.
-I will not give you financing or accept a payment plan. If you obtain financing I expect the full payment up front.
-Buyer is responsible for related costs, including but not limited to all shipping costs, inspections, travel, future repair work, etc. 
-If you wish to ship, I will happily meet a carrier you specify within 20 miles of ZIP 60625.
-Local pickup is a great option.

This vehicle is being sold AS-IS with no warranty expressed or implied.

Hyundai and Kia adding Google Maps API to nav systems

Sat, 05 Jan 2013

Hyundai's Blue Link and Kia's UVO infotainment systems will be adding three Google features: Send2Car, Point of Interest Search and Local Search by Voice. Send2Car lets travelers send destinations to their vehicle's navigation system from a computer or via a mobile phone app, and the POI and local searches are continuously updated in Google Places' database. The new data service integrations mean that drivers will have more access to more destinations and be able to find them more quickly.
Hyundai hasn't said when the new features will debut nor on what model. Kia buyers will find them introduced on the 2014 Kia Sorento expected to roll into dealerships shortly, with the Forte sedan following. You'll find a press release on the updates below.

Hyundai, Kia announce buyback plan for angry Korean investors

Wed, 12 Nov 2014

Hyundai's controversial decision last September to move its Korean headquarters to an expansive (and expensive) new facility was met with a swift backlash by shareholders. After making the biggest land purchase in South Korean history, the company's share price took a nine-point nose dive.
Now, in a bid to get back in the good graces of its stockholders, Hyundai and its subsidiary, Kia, will make a $615-million stock buyback plan. Reuters claims this is the first time in ten years that Hyundai has made a buyback offer with the explicit purpose of pumping up share prices.
The total deal bumped up Hyundai's share prices 5.7 percent while Kia is up two percent, although neither company has fully recovered from the battering that followed the headquarters announcement. It's unclear what else it will take for Hyundai to recover the ground it lost during the land deal.

Kia teases sporty hatchback concept ahead of Detroit

Wed, 18 Dec 2013

The UK arm of Kia just released a teaser image (click to enlarge) for a new concept car that will be unveiled next month at the Detroit Auto Show. With little information to go on, the single overhead shot of the unnamed concept shows that it will be a two-door hatchback with a 2+2 seating configuration.
The brief press blast, which is posted below, promises that this is a new concept vehicle, so it's unlikely that it has anything to do with the similarly shaped Provo Concept that Kia showed off earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show. Kia says that it will release more images of the concept soon, but it won't divulge the full details about the car until Detroit.
