 This is a 2003 Hyundai Accent GT which I bought five or six years ago from CarMax and has been my daily driver until about a month ago. The car is a very dependable ride but has some issues which I will detail completely in this listing. I am selling the car because I have purchased a large Lincoln to enjoy in my retirement. Kelley Blue book wholesale value on this car in fair condition is $1254 in my area (Trade-In value). The value for a private party sale is $2007. I am starting the auction at $1000 and the top bid will buy the car.

The good: Air conditioning and heat work great, engine has never let me down and still runs great, gas mileage has been 30 MPG plus regardless, interior is in pretty nice shape with no tears or major damage other than some minor scratches on plastic door panels. the car has a working trailer hitch with electric plug connectors.


The bad: There are numerous little dents and scratches on the exterior of the car (I bought it that way). The tires are okay for now, but it will need 2 tires replaced very soon. The radio seems to turn on by itself when the car hits a bump. The front and rear left turn signal stays on at night and does not blink. This turn signal works fine when the headlights are not on. The dash light behind the speedometer does not normally work, but it blinks on sometimes. The dash light for the odometer works fine. The driver's side electric window works fine, but it is noisy and probably needs a new kit put into it. The paint is faded and clear coat has peeled from both rear-view mirrors (see photos). The paint has also faded on the scoop located on the back hatchback door. On occasion, I can hear a very (almost inaudible) light clicking noise when the car coasts down a hill (and only when the car coasts). I've had a mechanic listen to it and he didn't know what it was. That was about five thousand miles ago, and I have not done anything to the car since then. The sound has not gotten any worse in that time. My best guess on this issue is that it is a mechanical part of the speedometer clicking. The engine light is on, but has been since I bought the car. I had it tested a few years ago, and it is some type of sensor light. I didn't want to spend a $100 plus on a sensor relay, so the light is still on. The headlight lenses are cloudy and need refinishing to clear (buffing).

I don't have to sell this car, as it is a very economical mode of transportation for me and still looks pretty good. I have been completely honest in the description and will not hold you to your purchase if the car is not exactly as I have described. It is an excellent little work car for someone that doesn't mind the small issues that it has.

Standing Out In A Segment Of Me-Too Crossovers
This may sound strange, but bear with us - there is indeed a point to this little exercise. Okay, ready? We'd like you to close your eyes and imagine a crossover. Any modern crossover is fine.
Done? Good. Recall what you saw in your mind's eye. What did it look like? Did it have a somewhat aggressive shape - an upright greenhouse, pronounced wheel wells with some type of body cladding, a bold grille up front bracketed by large headlamps and hulking bodysides with a bit of visual flair provided by creases or rising shoulder lines? Did it sit jacked up a tad on oversized alloy wheels, distancing itself from any thoughts of mere station wagons? Yep, that was a crossover all right.

Recharge Wrap-up: Rimac Concept One vs. Bugatti Veyron, Tesla Autpoilot in the snow

Thu, Dec 29 2016

Watch the Rimac Concept_One and the Bugatti Veyron drive head-to-head along the Croatian coast. Rimac Automobili founder Mate Rimac invited the Earl of Pembroke to drive his 1,088-horsepower EV, while he'd drive Lord Pembroke's Bugatti for comparison. Besides the scenic coastal roads shown in this first film, the pair also drove on a racetrack and an airfield. More episodes – and a drag race – are to come. Watch the video above, and read more at Teslarati. Watch how Tesla Autosteer operates in the snow at night, with no lane markings and no lead vehicle. While Tesla doesn't recommend using Autopilot in these conditions, it seems to manage rather well. Even thought the system shows that it doesn't always recognize the curb, the car doesn't instruct the driver to take control. It's possible that data plays a key role when there aren't other guiding factors on the road, and Tesla's high resolution mapping and the car's GPS could help navigate when there is little sensor input. See the video and read more at Electrek. Andromeda Power shows how a Nissan Leaf rescue car can charge a Tesla Model S. Andromeda Power uses its V2V Orca Inceptive onboard charger, which is meant for CHAdeMO to CHAdeMO charging. It requires a lot of equipment, including a CHAdeMO Tesla adapter, but it's definitely one way to feed a Tesla enough juice to get to the nearest charging station. Read more at Inside EVs. Hyundai increase the range of its Tucson Fuel Cell by 30 percent. The next generation of the hydrogen powered Hyundai is expected in early 2018, and range will jump from 265 miles on a full tank to 348 miles. That surpasses the Toyota Mirai's 312-mile range, but not the 366 miles of the Honda Clarity Fuel Cell. Read more at Green Car Reports, or from the Nikkei Asian Review.

Honda, Hyundai top car residual value / depreciation awards list

Thu, Nov 18 2021

J.D. Power announced its 2022 U.S. ALG Residual Value awards Thursday, with Honda and Hyundai topping the charts at three models apiece in the industry-standard study. The term "residual" is an industry projection of how well a car will hold its resale value three years from the original purchase date – a key metric in calculating lease costs and projecting new-car depreciation.  Award winners included several enthusiast-friendly options, including the BMW 2 Series, Dodge Charger, Subaru WRX, Mercedes-AMG GT and Toyota Tacoma. Even the Ford Bronco was recognized, beating out the Jeep Wrangler in the Off-Road Utility segment. That may seem odd given the car's issue-plagued launch, but scarcity apparently trumps quality control issues over the longer term. Here's a scrolling complete list of winners broken down by segment: “Accurately forecasting residual values in the auto industry is a key factor in assessing an estimated $225 billion lease portfolio of vehicles in the United States,” said ALG VP Eric Lyman in the company's announcement. "The brands and vehicle models that rise to the top demonstrate that they score well across the award programÂ’s criteria, including manufacturersÂ’ superior design and quality." ALG looks at several factors to determine future value, which is especially tricky with new models. For 2022, 16 different brands were recognized across 29 segments. Behind Honda and Hyundai, Audi, Kia, Mercedes-Benz, Land Rover and Subaru all managed to chart with two different models. Here's the rundown of those who won in more than one category: Honda Civic Honda Passport Honda Odyssey Hyundai Accent Hyundai Kona Hyundai Kona EV Audi A6 Allroad Audi Q3 Kia K5 Kia Telluride Land Rover Range Rover Velar Land Rover Discovery Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Mercedes-Benz Metris:  Subaru  WRX and  Subaru Forester Toyota Tacoma  Toyota Tundra "The award process consists of evaluating 284 models through analysis of used-vehicle performance, brand outlook and product competitiveness," the announcement said. "Eligibility for a brand award requires a manufacturer to have model entries in at least four different segments. To account for differences across trim levels, model averages are weighted based on percentage share relative to the entire model line."   Audi Honda Hyundai Kia Land Rover Mercedes-Benz Subaru Toyota
