2003 Hyundai Tibuorn GT v-6, with 6-speed manual transmission.  This car is in excellent mechanical condition, with no major repairs necessary (now and likely not in the near future, though there's no guarantees with used vehicles of course.)  The strongest selling point of this vehicle is the excellent mechanical condition, recency and quality of wear-item replacement, and the conversion from the factory clutch (an infamously poor design which was the central part of a class-action lawsuit) to a premium solid-flywheel clutch. Working at a friend's repair shop, the car was maintained ahead of schedule, and thoroughly (i.e. complete breakdown and rebuild of brake system when brakes were needed, replacement of intake & plenum gaskets during tune-up simply because the access was easier with wires off, etc.)

BESIDES COSMETIC (rust, dings, etc.), and the blown passenger airbag, the only repair that really should be taken care of (flasher relay) will cost either about $3 if you DIY, or about $100 if you send the part in for repair. I have all of the information and vendors for the repair, whether DIY walkthru or repair vendors. Everything else, operationally, is in excellent working condition, with no scheduled maintenance in the near future (besides oil changes, etc.)

Recent: 
BRAKES:
Ultra-Premium Akebono Brake Pads (front & rear)
Premium "Carquest Blue" Brake rotors (front & rear)
Replaced one Brake Caliper, rebuilt remaining 3

Timing Belt @ 95,000 miles (so next recommended interval would be in another 49,000 miles)

Air Intake & Plenum Gaskets both replaced during full tune-up at about 100,000 miles.

Tune-Up at about 100,000 miles using premium wires & plugs.

Tires have less than 15,000 miles on them - I may be able to find the paperwork in case any warranty is transferable.

Oil Changes were performed every 3 months, at typically less than 2000 miles, using premium filters and high quality standard (not synthetic) oil.

Basically what you have is an excellent vehicle for the price if you want great performance, but don't mind (or are willing to fix) some body rust, etc.

I'm selling this car because we have 2 little ones and this car is made for handling, fun, and reasonably decent fuel economy - NOT for throwing your back out trying to move baby seats in and out of!  This is the 3rd and final vehicle we're clearing out so that our Camry can become our small vehicle while I embrace my inner hillbilly and clear off a driveway spot for an obnoxiously, unnecessarily large pickup truck :) 

This is being advertised locally as well, and so auction may be canceled if a solid cash offer comes in before the end of the auction.

A note on my zero-feedback, brand-new account - I had to create this new account due to the mandatory password reset - apparently I had my old work email address and an old cell # in my ebay account which I had been using since the mid-90's. If you have any security/honesty concerns, please contact me thru ebay. I'll reply back to answer questions, and provide cell number at which I will be happy to speak with you to answer any questions you may have (as well as to schedule coming by to see/test drive the vehicle, etc.)

To the winner of the auction! Vehicle IS in perfect running/driving condition to drive home; the only exception being you won't have turn signals (but tail lights, headlights, brake lights, etc., all work.)

Viewing / Test Drive - Contact me to make arrangements to see the vehicle in person if you wish. Test drive on my street only as the license plates have been removed already, and ONLY competent stick shift drivers may test drive the vehicle.

AND FINALLY - if you wish to make a ready cash offer before the close of the auction, contact me and let's talk.

2016: The year we talked about autonomy a bunch | Autoblog Podcast #497

Thu, Dec 22 2016

This week on the Autoblog Podcast, Mike Austin and David Gluckman take a look back at one of the biggest topics of 2016: autonomous driving. The thing is, there was a lot of news about autonomous driving, but not much in the way of autonomous cars you can buy. They also talk about what they've been driving lately - there was a good turbocharged compact car and a not-so-good turbocharged compact car. And then we round out the year with a quick Spend My Money. The podcast will take a break next week, but we'll be back in the new year with reports from CES and the 2017 Detroit Auto Show. And we're lining up some fun guests for future recordings. The rundown is below. Remember, if you have a car-related question you'd like us to answer or you want buying advice of your very own, send a message or a voice memo to podcast at autoblog dot com. (If you record audio of a question with your phone and get it to us, you could hear your very own voice on the podcast. Neat, right?) And please send trivia questions! You'll get the honor of stumping your fellow listeners, and we'll thank you too.

Hyundai, Kia recall 270,000 cold-weather state vehicles over rust

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Hyundai has announced plans to recall 240,000 Sonata and Azera models registered in the northern United States over corrosion caused by the use of road salt. Exposure to the salt can cause rust to form (we know, basic chemistry here), and that the corrosion can change the alignment of the rear wheels, according to Reuters.
Sonatas from the 2006 to 2010 model years, built between March 1, 2005 and January 21, 2010, and Azeras from the 2006 to 2011 model years, built between September 27, 2005 and November 22, 2010, are covered only if they were registered in the following states: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Washington, DC. So basically, every state from the Midwest, to the central Atlantic coast, to New England. It is unclear exactly how many Sonatas or Azeras make up the 240,000 total number.
Hyundai is also recalling 20,300 of its 2013 Santa Fe Sports, while sister company Kia is recalling 9,345 2014 Sorentos. This second recall only covers Santa Fe Sport and Sorento models with the base, 2.4-liter engine and front-wheel drive. Apparently, the front axle driveshaft can develop cracks and separate.

Hyundai ranks highest in Total Value Awards with Equus leading all cars

Sat, 16 Nov 2013

Hyundai has taken the cake in Strategic Vision's 18th Total Value Index. The study, which looked at 45,952 new car buyers for 2013 models between September 2012 and March 2013, looks at the ownership experience along with the customer's views on the economic impact of the purchase in both the near and long term.
For the first time, Hyundai was ranked as the leading brand for Total Value, while its Equus luxury sedan scored both the highest overall score and took the crown in the luxury segment. Other Hyundai winners included the Sonata (tied with Fusion), Genesis Coupe and Elantra.
Ford scored quite well, too, taking the segment titles with the Fiesta Sedan (which tied with Elantra), Fusion, Focus Hatchback, Taurus (tied with Dodge Charger), Explorer and Lincoln Navigator. General Motors' cars and trucks managed to capture eight segments, while Toyota topped six areas.
