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 patenting speed bump detection

Thu, Jun 18 2015

Often patents are more about solving a small, annoying problem than really taking on the big issues. Take Hyundai's recent filing for a system to detect speed bumps, for example. Other than teens with a fresh license and ground-scraping supercar drivers, no one really sees spotting these traffic-slowing devices as the bane of their existence. However, the Korean automaker is out to make driving just a little more convenient for everyone with this tech. The Hyundai patent combines several pieces of currently available technology in a new way. GPS, a camera, and multiple sensors identify an oncoming speed bump, and they then measure its height, width, and curvature. With that info, the software calculates the appropriate speed to drive over the hump. If drivers are going too fast, then a warning message tells them to slow down. The patent is a straightforward solution to a problem that doesn't seem to really exist for many drivers. However, while Hyundai makes no mention of this in the documents, this tech could be extremely useful for applications in autonomous vehicles. All the system would need is the additional ability to slow itself automatically, and the driverless car could potentially handle a speed bump just as well as a human.

A brief taste of Korea's latest dish | 2018 Hyundai Kona

Wed, Jun 21 2017

Disclaimer: We were limited to a short 10-minute drive at Hyundai's research and development facility in Namyang, about a 90-minute drive from the South Korean Capital of Seoul. The closed loop didn't provide much in the way of road variation, and we reached a blistering top speed of 45 mph with all of three opportunities to use the brakes. The Kona we drove was a Korean-spec model. Suspension and steering tuning will be adjusted for the US, though we couldn't get a clear answer on what sort of changes that entails. Expect the US model to be a bit softer than what the Koreans and the Europeans will see, though we'll have to wait until a full first drive to be sure. Hyundai has been on a roll lately, releasing a series of solid if not exactly groundbreaking products, though until now they company was missing an entry into the ever-burgeoning B-segment crossover. For several years, compacts like the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3 have ruled the class, but Hyundai is going all-in on crossovers, with several new models on the horizon. The first one out of the gate is the Kona. In the next few years, we'll see a model that slots below the Kona and a large SUV that will sit above the Santa Fe. We got our first look at the new model at Hyundai's new Motorstudio, a place that's half interactive museum and half high-end conference space. The Kona's styling, a mix of original and derivative design elements, is sure to be divisive. The most standout feature is the plastic cladding that comes in either black or grey, depending on the body color. Hyundai is calling it armor. We just hope it's affordable to replace. The front wears Hyundai's cascading grille, an element that's making it's way across the automaker's lineup. It's flanked by what Hyundai is calling is calling composite headlights. It's a split design that places the slit-like turn signals above and separate from the actual headlights. It looks very similar to the current Jeep Cherokee, odd considering the controversy that model caused a few years ago. There's also a bit of Nissan Juke in there, though substantially toned down. You best get used to it, though, as design chief Luc Donckerwolke says it's the new face of the brand. Expect to see some variation making its way across the automaker's lineup. Not so with the rest of the Kona, as Donckerwolke said each model will get unique elements only found on that particular car. For the Kona, it's the armor.

2014 Hyundai Equus priced from $61,000*

Fri, 12 Jul 2013

During an event in Ann Arbor, Michigan today, Hyundai officials confirmed that the updated 2014 Equus sedan, which goes on sale this week, will be priced from $61,000, *not including $920 for destination. That price is for the base-level Signature version; the upgraded Ultimate trim will carry a base MSRP of $68,000. Both prices represent a $1,750 increase over the 2013 model.
Hyundai introduced the 2014 Equus at this year's New York Auto Show, and while it hasn't been vastly reworked, there are a few thoughtful updates both inside and out. For starters, there's a restyled grille flanked with standard LED fog lamps, as well as new 19-inch alloy wheels. Inside, Hyundai has fitted a new instrument cluster and center stack, as well as more premium wood trim.
There's more technology inside the Equus, as well. The instrument cluster now benefits from either a 7.0- or 12.3-inch LCD information screen, and there's a 9.2-inch display in the center of the dash. For rear seat passengers, there are dual 9.2-inch monitors, as well as redesigned console controls.
