I'm selling my 2011 Hyundai Sonata SE Pacific Pearl Blue with 27,5xx miles because I live in the city and don't want to pay the outrageous parking rates. I'm selling on CL because I like to cut out middlemen who do not add value whenever possible. In a nutshell, I want to split the dealer's take with you, and we can both go home happy.
- I have a folder with receipts documenting the maintenance and small repairs done on the car; the CarFax history report also verifies maintenance.
- The car has had manufacture suggested checks up to the mileage to-date.
- Oil/checks have been performed every 5k for the first 15k, and every 3k thereafter. The service dates were done by Hyundai dealerships who also performed some warranty work. Since about 15k miles, I have been taking the car to my local mechanic that has been servicing my family's cars for 15 years; we have had cars run to over 215k.
*Appearance/Exterior Work*
- In 2012, I was rear ended at a low speed while on a trip with the car. The damages were approximately $1,200 and were on the real drivers-side bumper. Recently, my drivers-side taillight became unhooked from the plastic bolts holding it in place, and I had the taillight replaced last week. I believe the taillight issue was related to the fender bender.
- The car was parked on the street in Chicago for approximately 11 months at my old apartment. During that time, I had the good fortune of being the recipient of small paint scrapes on the rear bumper, a keying on the rear passenger door (aprox. 1.5 inches), and a scoff that appears to be from a door on the rear driver's side door (aprox .25 inches). The passenger side wheels also have a few curb burns from parking too close to the curb.
-- Last week, I took the car to the body shop and had them replace the rear taillight (from above), and buff and touch-up the bumper and respective scrapes on the doors. The paint scrapes on the rear bumper are virtually gone, and the two scrapes on the doors require effort to find. I have the receipt.
- I just had the car detailed (interior and exterior) on 9/14.
From my personal point of view, my favorite aspects of the car are, in no particular order:
- looks: Hyundai did a great job redesigning the Sonata's in 2011, and the SE has bigger wheels than the Limited and more chrome than the GLS and Limited.
- efficiency and practicality: I regularly get 35+mpg on the highway and the gas tank is large enough to outlive most bladders on road trips. In terms of practicality, its a four-door sedan; it holds people comfortably and has a great size trunk.
- reliability: I have never had any problems with the car, and the warranty comforted me at the original purchase (and is still valid with plenty of time and miles remaining). The Sonata line is well regarded in terms of reliability and maintenance is relatively cheap (it ain't no BMW).
- driving: The driving experience is enjoyable for a mid-size sedan; the manual mode in the transmission is great for passing and provides a satisfactory illusion of a more sporty car on two lane twisties.
- technology: bluetooth in the car is literally lifesaving and makes it easy to make phone calls and play music from a phone and they keyless entry and start are great (you don't even have to remove the key from your pocket).

Watch the 2015 Hyundai Sonata crash its way to an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Hyundai has managed to get another vehicle on the prestigious Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Top Safety Pick +, as its new 2015 Sonata sedan performed admirably in crash testing.
The redesigned Sonata's new look belied an improved crash test in the difficult small overlap front test, where Hyundai's family sedan improved from a "Marginal" score to "Acceptable." Meanwhile, the Sonata's optional Forward Collision Warning system garnered a "Basic" rating on IIHS' three-tier rating scale for these sort of automatic safety systems.
Netting a spot on the Top Safety Pick + list requires a "Good" or "Acceptable" score on the small overlap test, as well as "Good" scores on the four standard tests and some form of automated safety system.
Hyundai and Kia settle lawsuit over hybrid technology
Tue, Dec 15 2015Hyundai and Kia will end Paice's patent infringement lawsuit by signing a licensing agreement to use the firm's hybrid technology for their vehicles, according to Bloomberg. A statement by Paice says that this new contract ends any legal disputes between the companies, but doesn't disclose the cost of the settlement. A Hyundai spokesperson declined to comment about the case's resolution to Autoblog. Paice and the Abell Foundation, an investor, brought the case against Hyundai and Kia in 2012 over the tech in the Sonata and Optima Hybrids, and the court sided in the patent holder's favor in October 2015. The jury ordered the automakers to pay at least $28.9 million, but the judge could have tripled that amount because the infringement was allegedly intentional. Hyundai pledged to appeal the ruling. Paice's patents come from the work of Alex Severinsky and cover ways to make engines and electric motors work together. The company has a history of defending its tech, including settlements with Toyota and Ford. It also filed another case against the Blue Oval in 2014 over the hybrid or plug-in systems in the C-Max, Fusion, and Lincoln MKZ. Hyundai and Kia sign licensing agreement with Paice Paice, a pioneer in hybrid electric vehicle technology, has reached an agreement to license all of its hybrid vehicle technology to Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors Corp. Paice has now licensed all or part of its hybrid vehicle technology portfolio to Toyota, Hyundai/Kia, and Ford – three of the world's six largest automakers. These three companies currently account for 90% of all hybrid vehicle sales in the United States. "We are gratified to reach a licensing agreement with Hyundai and Kia, who are among the undisputed leaders in the hybrid industry. This agreement further validates the importance of our technology, and we hope to reach additional agreements with other major automakers," said Frances Keenan, chairman of the Paice Board of Directors. The confidential licensing agreement with Hyundai and Kia brings an end to all litigation between the companies. Paice and the Abell Foundation, a Baltimore-based non-profit organization that invested in Paice, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Hyundai and Kia in U.S. District Court in 2012. After an eight-day jury trial earlier this year, the jury sided with Paice and Abell, awarding $28,915,600. Hyundai and Kia currently rank third in U.S. hybrid car sales.
Hyundai and Kia invest $110 million in UK electric van startup Arrival
Thu, Jan 16 2020Korea's Hyundai Group is backing a UK electric vehicle startup that plans to begin selling battery-powered delivery vans in 2021, the companies said on Thursday. Hyundai and sister firm Kia are making the investment of $110 million (100 million euros or 84.34 million pounds) in Arrival. Founded in 2015 and based in London, Arrival has developed a boxy, futuristic-looking shuttle bus aimed at the commercial delivery market. The company said its van will have a range between charges of 300 miles. In a statement, Arrival said it will work with Hyundai and Kia to develop a variety of electric vehicles, initially for the commercial market. Those vehicles will be built on Arrival's modular vehicle platform or "skateboard" that bundles motor, batteries and chassis components, similar to the skateboard developed by U.S. startup Rivian. Rivian is backed by Ford and Amazon, and has a contract to build 100,000 electric delivery vans for the e-commerce giant, starting in 2021. Hyundai and Kia last year invested $89 million in Rimac Automobili, a nine-year-old Croatian company aspiring to build electric supercars that is also backed by Porsche. Arrival said its vehicles will be equipped with advanced driver assist features and can be upgraded with self-driving systems. The vehicles are designed to sell for the same price as similar models powered by internal combustion engines and to be built in small "microfactories." That strategy is the opposite of U.S. electric vehicle rival Tesla which uses massive "gigafactories." Last fall, Arrival, which until now has operated largely in stealth mode, hired General Motors veteran Michael Ableson to head its new North American operations. With a small factory in Banbury, England, Arrival said it now has 800 employees in five countries, including Germany, Russia and Israel. Arrival previously said it would use BlackBerry's QNX operating system to connect safety features in its electric vehicles. Arrival said its prototype delivery vans are being tested by the Royal Mail, DHL and UPS. Related Video: Green Hyundai Kia Commercial Vehicles Electric Future Vehicles electric delivery van
