Hyundai Sonata 2003 Low Miles!! As-is **read Description** on 2040-cars
Kissimmee, Florida, United States
|
Hello!!!
I am currently selling my 2003 Hyundai Sonata with only 86,572 original miles!!! I bought the car back in October 2012 when it had 74,650 miles. Since I had the car I have made some repairs/replacements to the car mechanically. I had one of the terminals replaced, the timing belt replaced along with the alternator which was done around 82,000 miles. Three out of four of the tires are in new condition (the front ones have about 3,000 miles of use, and the back driver side tire has about 200 miles). I have replaced the passenger side headlight bulb as well. The interior of the car is in excellent shape with some minor imperfections ( a stain in the back seat that is barely noticeable, tiny crack on the bottom right corner of black border where the radio is located, to name the 2 big minor imperfections). The headliner is fully intact. ICE COLD A/C including quick heat if necessary. Motor runs strong and the transmission shifts smooth making it smooth ride overall. *Cons* Now for the bad. There is rust in different areas of the car. On the body it only appears in a small area at the back 2 fenders of the car. The rust has spread to the brake lines, which I have recently stopped driving the car since 7/12/14 due to the brake issue. Therefore, the brake lines have to be replaced, but the brake pads and rotors are still in good shape. This is as far as I know about the rust issue, I am unsure how exactly extensive it is which I am basing my knowledge on what I have had mechanics recently tell me. The back passenger tire has to be replaced soon it has about 30-40 percent tread left. The engine check light is on and according to the code, it is for the 2 ignition coils which have to be replaced. However, at this point I have not felt the car stutter. Also the oil dipstick handle is broken, however you may still measure the oil levels if you pull the dipstick out with some pliers. This car is great for someone who is a mechanic or an individual who has time to make a few repairs in order to make this car get back to its fighting shape. The two known mechanical problems (brake lines, ignition coils) are only a couple hundred dollars to fix by a mechanic, but can be significantly cheaper if you are knowledgeable enough to make the repairs yourself. This car is located in Kissimmee, Florida just outside of Orlando. It is up to the buyer to make shipping arrangements. I have sold a car previously on Ebay and I have not had an issue with communicating between myself and the buyer including their shipment company of choice. Once the listing is bought I shall give my personal info so the exchange can be finalized. **Please serious buyers and offers only. Low offers will not be considered. Buyers must pay within 3 days of purchase. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.** Thanks for looking!!! |

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

Wed, 31 Jul 2013A Lesson In How To Out-Lexus The LS
I think that the new BMW 4 Series is an attractive coupe. The design is a little bit on the wrong side of "fussy" I'll grant you, and I don't particularly care for the look of the scalloped, black-bordered vents on the fender sides - functional though they may be. But for the most part, I find the coupe to be pretty pleasing to look at.
You all, by and large, do not care for the 4 Series. (For the sake of constructing my intellectual argument, I'm going to make the ridiculous statistical assumption that the 140 or so comments on our 4 Series First Drive provide a representative opinion of our readership as a whole.) In the first 24 hours after we published our review of the car, you felt moved to comment that it was "ugly," "REALLY ugly" and "a disappointment" among other, less reprintable statements of ardor.
