HISTORY & DESCRIPTION

You are looking at a beautiful 2012 Hyundai Veloster sportback in excellent condition loaded with plenty of extra features and options which you can see above, including the "Style Package", the upgraded "Dimension" stereo system (with built-in amp) and all-glass panoramic sunroof. This car is a Florida car which has been very well-kept. I am the 2nd owner of this car and it has been my daily driver for about 15 months. I've never experienced any issues or problems with this car whatsoever. I purchased it certified pre-owned at the very same dealership it was purchased at new by the original owner, and as such I do have some knowledge of the car's history prior to my ownership. The original owner was a doctor who purchased the car sometime in early 2012, and only owned it for around 7 months before trading it back in on something newer & bigger. I've been told that she used the car to travel back and forth from Florida to Texas on a weekly basis, which makes sense being that when I purchased it in December of 2012 the car already had a little over 15,000 miles on it. However, keep in mind that at least 80% of those are highway miles, which any good mechanic or car guru will tell you only account for about a third as much wear and tear on a car than city miles do. During the 15 months I have owned the car, I have put about 17,000 miles on it myself, again being mostly highway miles as I regularly drive back and forth between Florida and Louisiana. This car has ridiculously good gas mileage for a sporty type of car - 30mpg on the highway and 25 in the city - which is one of the main reasons I purchased it to begin with.

It has undergone all regularly-scheduled maintenance, repairs, recall and warranty work at the same dealership that both I and the previous owner purchased it at. As recently as last week it was taken in for scheduled recall & warranty work, all of which was completed without issue. The vehicle also received 2 brand new Kumho tires in the process (which match the 2 older but still in excellent shape Kumho tires not replaced). This vehicle has never been smoked in under my watch, and as far as I can tell was a non-smoker under the original owner as well.

I really really hate having to get rid of this car, as it has been by far the most reliable, fun and luxurious vehicle I've ever owned. It is fast, nimble and excels at fighting through heavy traffic. Though it is not the turbo model, it could be very easily upgraded with an aftermarket turbo as there is ample space inside the engine compartment to allow for such an installation. Other than a small amount of normal wear and tear (glossy finish on steering wheel is wearing off, a little scraping damage around the edges of a couple rims), there is absolutely nothing wrong with this vehicle whatsoever. For 15 months it has been my baby, but unfortunately a combination of work and health-related factors are now forcing me to sell it, despite numerous efforts I've made thus far to be able to keep it. I can only hope at this point that it goes to someone who will enjoy it as much as I have, because it is a really awesome car that I'm sure will be fun for anyone to drive.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks for looking, and happy bidding!! 

WARRANTY

This vehicle is being sold "as-is" without any type of warranty from myself - HOWEVER - there are several factory warranties that exist for this car, the vast majority of which have not expired and will transfer automatically to you, the new owner, as soon as payment is received and the title transferred over to your name. You can find out all of the warranty details yourself by clicking this link. Buyer assumes all responsibility for obtaining warranty info/details/obligations after listing is completed.

PAYMENT

Winning bidder must contact me within 24 hours of auction end, and make arrangements for payment at that time (Paypal is HIGHLY preferred). A $500.00 deposit is due within 24 hours of end of auction or risk a no-sale default. Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE. The remainder is due in full within 3 days of auction end. If no contact is made within 24 hours I reserve the right to re-list the vehicle, sell it to the next high bidder, or sell it otherwise. Please do not bid on this auction unless you are serious about owning this vehicle. All non-paying high bidders will be reported to eBay, and negative feedback will be posted.

SHIPPING

Will deliver free of charge to any location within 100 miles of Pensacola, FL. For any location within 100-300 miles of Pensacola, I will deliver for a $200 fee. Otherwise, buyer assumes all responsibility for shipping, including any and all associated costs/fees/expenses and travel arrangments. This includes shipping insurance. Keep in mind this vehicle is being sold out of Northwest Florida, so if you live in Alaska, Seattle, Maine or anywhere else thousands of miles away , be prepared to pay a decent amount of $$ associated with getting this vehicle to your front door.

Genesis bringing an EV concept and G90 to New York Auto Show

Sun, Mar 31 2019

It's official, the entire Hyundai Group has plans for the New York Auto Show. During the Hyundai Sonata press launch in South Korea, design head Luc Donckerwolke told Roadshow "You'll have an electric show car for Genesis." This year will be the charm for Genesis and EVs, after showing the GV80 SUV concept and its hydrogen fuel cell powertrain in 2017, and the electric Essentia coupe concept last year. We will also see the production version of the U.S. market Genesis G90 and its mongo grille. The premium brand's debuts will join the new Sonata sedan and Venue crossover, and an as-yet-unnamed Kia show car expected to be our version of the SP Signature concept potentially called Tusker. Hyundai-Kia isn't getting its electric razzle dazzle ready for New York alone. Auto Express reports the group is working on a new electric car platform to serve the carmaker the same way Volkswagen's MEB architecture serves the German group's brands. At the moment, the only four EVs in the South Korean automaker's range are the Hyundai Kona and Ioniq, and the Kia e-Niro and Soul. They are all built on ICE platforms, the Kona and e-Niro still proving popular enough for this year's planned UK-market production to sell out already. According to a "company insider," the dedicated EV platform is around two years away and will focus on B- and C-segment cars. That's the same year that Genesis is expected to have its EV ready, but unless the luxury arm has plans to dip its grille into C-segment waters, Genesis likely has other EV platform plans. By 2025, Hyundai and Kia have said they'll have 14 EVs in the combined lineup as part of 38 electrified offerings. Whatever's on the way could prove far more radical than today's offerings. Donckerwolke told Auto Express that in order to attract the future EV buyers that aren't necessarily car people, "[You] have to ask whether you want science fiction or whether you want to conform. We can create something that doesn't appeal to someone in the traditional sense." If the head designer gets his way, 3D-printing will help whip up those attractions. Last year's Essentia concept showed off 3D-printed carbon fiber ornament, but the potential goes much further.

2024 CES Mega Photo Gallery: Honda concepts, a VinFast truck and flying cars galore

Thu, Jan 11 2024

The 2024 rendition of CES is coming to a close, and per usual, it was full of all the funky, futuristic tech the show is long known for. It’s also full of cars and legitimately forward-thinking tech related to cars, and we were on the ground to see it all and bring photos to you in this Mega Gallery.  A boatload of manufacturers attended and made big reveals, from the Star Wars-like Honda concept cars to a pickup truck from VinFast, the sort of debuts we got to see ran the gamut. Of course, there were plenty of reveals and vehicles on the floor that were even more outlandish than concepts from traditional OEMs like Honda and Mercedes. Check out this flying Xpeng car as an example. Or perhaps the flying Mansory car. Apparently, flying cars were a theme. Anyway, make sure you scroll down to check out the various reveals and photos of the cars and technologies revealed at the 2024 CES in our barrage of galleries.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer 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.
