This car was purchased new by my stepfather and he gave it to me when it had about 30,000 miles on it, so it has been in my immediate family since originally purchased. It is a Massachusetts car (born and bred!). I am selling it because it needs some work, and I can't afford to spend the money on it since I am now using my aunt's car and don't need two cars. I live on Cape Cod, so it hasn't had much city driving, mostly rural and semi-rural miles. I am a nonsmoker and smoking has never been allowed in the car.

This car has been very reliable. There has, however, been intermittent issues with a faulty sensors in the exhaust system and subsequently some sort of leak in the exhaust system. The check engine light is on and has been for several months. I believe this is due to something in the exhaust system as well. I'm not sure if it's minor or serious because I didn't want to take it to the dealer and have a Rejection inspection sticker put on my car (if I could afford to fix it). The inspection expired last June, and I was driving without a current inspection sticker since then, although it's been sitting in my driveway for the past 2 months (since I'm using my aunt's car now).

Aside from the exhaust system issue, it is in need of new brake pads and rotor work (but not replacement according to my mechanic). There is also an open safety recall on the front subframe (which transfers to subsequent owners). They said it would take up to 2 days to replace it, and the place is not close to me, so I never had it done because of the inconvenience and because there was no visible signs of the subframe rusting out (which was the reason for the recall). The rear subframe does show some rusting though, which is not covered under the warranty and may or may not be necessary to replace at this time.

I have not removed any parts from this car, so even if you don't want to fix it up, you could probably make some money from parts if that's your intent. The tires are okay (not great, but will pass inspection). I had a couple of leaks in one of the tires over the past year which I had plugged.

I have never had an accident, but there are 2 dents in the car that happened while the car was parked. In one case, my friend forgot I was parked behind her in her driveway, and she backed into the right, front fender area, leaving a noticeable, but not major dent. In the second case, I was at the post office, and a woman backed into my driver's side door (while I was sitting in the driver's seat reading my mail!). This incident was just a few months ago, and I decided not to pursue it with her because I knew I was getting rid of the car and--as my friends have berated me--didn't want to "stick it to her." It left a large dent in the door frame but it did not impact the mirror or the operation of the door or window.

The CD player does not work (there is a CD stuck in it). The motor for the sunroof is broken, but the car came with a handcrank, and I have used that since the motor broke, although you can't do it while driving! Also, I had a problem with a squirrel back in 2004. It chewed its way through the trunk into the back seat, so there's a hold in the foam seat in the back seat near one of the seat buckles. It was a very bizarre incident!

Lastly, the plastic/metal strip that runs the length of the hood (from the bottom of the windshield to the rear of the back window) came loose and was flapping so I removed it. If you look closely at the photo of the front of the car, you can see it's missing on the driver's side.

So, if you're a mechanic or want a parts car, this is probably the best bet for this car. Please feel free to ask any questions that I may not have answered, and thanks for reading this far!!

The registration expires at the end of March, so I need to sell it by then. If I don't find a buyer on eBay by March 22, I'll move onto other avenues, so I will require immediate payment and pick-up. If you cannot come to pick up the car on Saturday, March 23, or Sunday, March 24, in Falmouth, Massachusetts, please DO NOT BID. The car needs to be paid in full and picked up by then.

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU ARE BUYING THIS CAR AS IS, SIGHT UNSEEN. I CANNOT OFFER BUYERS TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR. THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE AN INSPECTION STICKER AND AT THIS POINT, THE ONLY WAY IT'S LEAVING THE PROPERTY IS AFTER A TRANSACTION HAS TAKEN PLACE. I RECOMMEND HAVING IT TOWED EVEN THOUGH IT CAN BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE BRAKES AND OTHER NECESSARY REPAIRS AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT THE INSPECTION STICKER HAS EXPIRED. SO, AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR BID IS BINDING.

Hyundai details its five Super Bowl ads, Santa Fe is MVP [w/video]

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

If the Super Bowl were Las Vegas, Hyundai would be considered one of its whales. The South Korean automaker will be advertising for the sixth straight year during The Big Game, and this time it's rolling up with five spots, four of them new. The new 2013 Santa Fe gets the star treatment, featuring in three of the spots, but the theme throughout is using "a Hyundai vehicle as the ultimate sidekick and partner-in-fun."
The four brand new commercials are:
Epic PlayDate - the headliner, uses the Santa Fe for "an unforgettable and epic play date" and features a brand new song from "a legendary alternative rock band."

Mad Max homage is amazingly weird, great

Mon, Aug 17 2015

Hyundai Germany and content producer Endemol Beyond are back with a cinematic-themed encore, this time for the Hyundai Tucson. Their first act came last year with a ten-minute video that recreated scenes from 70 movies, all for the purpose of highlighting the European i10 hatchback. The length is cut in half this time, but all four minutes focus on one film: Mad Max: Fury Road. It features mild mannered "Nilz" as a trepidatious Max Rockatansky on the run from Warboys and their model cars. When Imperator Furiosa shows up with some forced perspective, things get even more, how do you say, interesting, as everyone battles through to a metallic blue Valhalla. It will make sense when you watch it. Kind of. The tagline is "Change is good." We have no idea how that's meant to fit in, but maybe we'll cotton on with the coming videos that pay homage to TRON: Legacy, Drive, and Inception. Right now we just think this video is wild. And worth a watch.
