This car was purchased new by my stepfather and he gave it to me when it had about 30,000 miles on it, so it has been in my immediate family since originally purchased. It is a Massachusetts car (born and bred!). I am selling it because it needs some work, and I can't afford to spend the money on it since I am now using my aunt's car and don't need two cars. I live on Cape Cod, so it hasn't had much city driving, mostly rural and semi-rural miles. I am a nonsmoker and smoking has never been allowed in the car.

This car has been very reliable. There has, however, been intermittent issues with a faulty sensors in the exhaust system and subsequently some sort of leak in the exhaust system. The check engine light is on and has been for several months. I believe this is due to something in the exhaust system as well. I'm not sure if it's minor or serious because I didn't want to take it to the dealer and have a Rejection inspection sticker put on my car (if I could afford to fix it). The inspection expired last June, and I was driving without a current inspection sticker since then, although it's been sitting in my driveway for the past 2 months (since I'm using my aunt's car now).

Aside from the exhaust system issue, it is in need of new brake pads and rotor work (but not replacement according to my mechanic). There is also an open safety recall on the front subframe (which transfers to subsequent owners). They said it would take up to 2 days to replace it, and the place is not close to me, so I never had it done because of the inconvenience and because there was no visible signs of the subframe rusting out (which was the reason for the recall). The rear subframe does show some rusting though, which is not covered under the warranty and may or may not be necessary to replace at this time.

I have not removed any parts from this car, so even if you don't want to fix it up, you could probably make some money from parts if that's your intent. The tires are okay (not great, but will pass inspection). I had a couple of leaks in one of the tires over the past year which I had plugged.

I have never had an accident, but there are 2 dents in the car that happened while the car was parked. In one case, my friend forgot I was parked behind her in her driveway, and she backed into the right, front fender area, leaving a noticeable, but not major dent. In the second case, I was at the post office, and a woman backed into my driver's side door (while I was sitting in the driver's seat reading my mail!). This incident was just a few months ago, and I decided not to pursue it with her because I knew I was getting rid of the car and--as my friends have berated me--didn't want to "stick it to her." It left a large dent in the door frame but it did not impact the mirror or the operation of the door or window.

The CD player does not work (there is a CD stuck in it). The motor for the sunroof is broken, but the car came with a handcrank, and I have used that since the motor broke, although you can't do it while driving! Also, I had a problem with a squirrel back in 2004. It chewed its way through the trunk into the back seat, so there's a hold in the foam seat in the back seat near one of the seat buckles. It was a very bizarre incident!

Lastly, the plastic/metal strip that runs the length of the hood (from the bottom of the windshield to the rear of the back window) came loose and was flapping so I removed it. If you look closely at the photo of the front of the car, you can see it's missing on the driver's side.

So, if you're a mechanic or want a parts car, this is probably the best bet for this car. Please feel free to ask any questions that I may not have answered, and thanks for reading this far!!

The registration expires at the end of March, so I need to sell it by then. If I don't find a buyer on eBay by March 22, I'll move onto other avenues, so I will require immediate payment and pick-up. If you cannot come to pick up the car on Saturday, March 23, or Sunday, March 24, in Falmouth, Massachusetts, please DO NOT BID. The car needs to be paid in full and picked up by then.

PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU ARE BUYING THIS CAR AS IS, SIGHT UNSEEN. I CANNOT OFFER BUYERS TO TEST DRIVE THE CAR. THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE AN INSPECTION STICKER AND AT THIS POINT, THE ONLY WAY IT'S LEAVING THE PROPERTY IS AFTER A TRANSACTION HAS TAKEN PLACE. I RECOMMEND HAVING IT TOWED EVEN THOUGH IT CAN BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE BRAKES AND OTHER NECESSARY REPAIRS AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT THE INSPECTION STICKER HAS EXPIRED. SO, AGAIN, PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR BID IS BINDING.

Hyundai announces N performance sub-brand at WRC launch

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

It's been well over a year since Hyundai revealed its initial prototype for the i20 WRC at the 2012 Paris Auto Show. Now it's revealed the final version (pictured above, complete with Shell Helix livery) and it's also announced the full team that will field it next year in the World Rally Championship, including Thierry Neuville and additional drivers Juho Hänninen, Dani Sordo and Chris Atkinson. That's plenty exciting for rally fans, but the news that caught our attention was buried deeper in the press release.
That is the announcement of Hyundai's new N performance sub-brand. Named after the company's R&D facility in Namyang, South Korean, the N brand "will be used to symbolize Hyundai's high performance technology," not just on the rally car but also "future mass-produced high performance cars" for the road. The WRC car wears the logo that we'd expect to represent that new cadre of performance Hyundais.
Having hinted at the emergence of a European performance sub-brand a couple of months ago, the Korean automaker hasn't revealed any further details on which those road cars might be, but promises to transfer lessons it learns from the rally stage to the marketplace. We're looking forward to finding out more, but a roadgoing i20 hot hatch would be a good first bet. Here's hoping the North American product lineup won't be left out.

April Fools' Day brings Jeep Sedan, Hyundai N Roadster, Toyota Yaris pickup and more

Mon, Apr 1 2019

There is one day out of the year when public relations professionals have permission to lie to journalists and to the public: April Fools' Day. Manufacturers release details about wild, weird and wacky new technology, concept vehicles and services. Some take it to obvious outlandish extremes (Jeep Sedan anybody?), while others plot to mislead with products that are just outside the realm of possibility. Check out all the "jokes" below. BMW Motorrad BMW doesn't want to exclude anybody from experiencing the thrill of high-level racing, so it is introducing 'iRace" autonomous programming on its S 1000 RR sport bike. It includes beginner, sportsman, advanced and unlimited driving modes, and stores GPS information for all Superbike world championship tracks. Hyundai Hyundai is wrong for this. The Hyundai N Roadster is the work of South Korean designer Yeonjoon Park and features a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, rear-wheel drive and a hard convertible top. Hyundai says this is a "concept (for now)," but we think it'd make a seriously great Mazda Miata competitor. Honda Honda wins the award for the best interactive gimmick, as its press release for the '90s-inspired special-edition Pastport includes a live hotline number with a message from Fred Savage. Call 1-833-PASTPORT for more information. Jeep Put the Jeep Cherokee face on the Chrysler 300's body, and voila! The 2019 Jeep Sedan is born. We can't decide if the name or the rendering is better. Land Rover Accessibility to charging ports is of major concern to anybody with a plug-in vehicle. So, with the recent launch of the Range Rover P400e and Range Rover Sport P400e, Land Rover is putting forth an effort to install more stations around the globe. First up is Scotland's Isle of Skye. Adventurers need juice too! Lexus Australia Lexus expands its Encore service to include doggos. The new service, called Enpaw, will take pups to luxury boarding kennels in style. Toyota U.S. Toyota created the Yaris Adventure pickup for "those who want to tell their friends they own a truck but never veer off pavement." It's part Mazda 2, part RAV4, 100 percent ute and it looks ... great? Creating a new segment might be all fun and games to Toyota, but Ford is reportedly considering a Focus-based ute in a similar, albeit larger, style. Toyota Australia Toyota is launching a new HiAce van, and it's already getting a limited-edition variant called the PieAce.

Hyundai unveils new i10

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

Hyundai has just revealed the new i10, the sub-Accent five-door sold in Europe. The diminutive city car first went on sale in 2007, but received a light facelift in 2011, to bring it more in line with Hyundai's then-new styling theme. The new model is an even more style-conscious offering, with a gaping front fascia, integrated LED running lights (because, why not?), and a stylish side strakes integrated into the doors.
The new model is longer (80 millimeters or 3.14 inches) and wider (65 mm or 2.5 in) than the car it replaces, but is 50 mm (2.0 in) lower than the old i10. The result is a purported best-in-class legroom and cargo space, while the lower overall height should lead to a slightly better driving experience. The wheelbase has been stretched an inconsequential five millimeters as well, as part of its move to a new platform.
Hyundai hasn't announced any engines just yet, although we'd suspect the regular suite of three- and four-cylinder engines, with both gas and diesel options will be available. The new i10 begins production in September, and will do battle with A-segment stalwarts like the Fiat Panda, Renault Twingo and Volkswagen Up!.
