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-Kia dealer offers $180k in gift cards to local residents

Thu, Jan 22 2015

In many smaller communities, auto dealers are often major players in the local business and political world, and they interact with large portions of the population. Now, Grand West Hyundai and Grand West Kia in Grand Junction, CO, are putting their marketing dollars to work in a way to help the local economy, while also potentially generating some sales at the same time. Over the next six months, the dealers are contacting about 8,000 previous customers and offering them a gift card worth at least $50 to over 100 of the city's shops and restaurants (pictured above), according to Automotive News. All people need to do to receive the certificate is stop by the showrooms. Hopefully, the visitors would check out a new Hyundai or Kia at the same time. "We'd love to sell them a new car, but it is really a customer-appreciation gesture," said Ken Reeher, the dealers' marketing manager, to Automotive News. The two stores already bought about 3,600 cards with $181,000 going into the local economy. Paying people to come to the showroom isn't really new but generally works well. The Colorado dealers expect around half of the people they contact to visit for the gift card, which is still significantly more foot traffic than from traditional mailings. The decision to keep the cards local also means more money goes to small businesses, and the move gains goodwill in the community, too.

Hyundai mulling new Lexus-fighting upscale crossover

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

The idea of Hyundai marketing a luxury automobile might have seemed ridiculous a decade ago, but that was before the Genesis sedan, Genesis coupe and Equus came along. Now that buyers seem more accustomed to the notion of an upscale Hyundai, the Korean automaker is said to be considering launching a luxury crossover to take on the likes of the Lexus RX and Cadillac SRX.
The report comes from our compatriots at Edmunds, who spoke to Dave Zuchowski, head of Hyundai's North American unit, who said that the project is not yet part of the company's plan, but that "it is something under consideration."
The last time Hyundai entered that territory was with the Veracruz (pictured above), a model that was sometimes compared to but ultimately failed to compete with the Lexus RX when it was sold between 2006 and 2011. The Veracruz was effectively replaced by the seven-passenger Santa Fe with which it shared its underpinnings. This new project being considered would similarly be based on the latest Santa Fe, and the challenge Hyundai is facing once again would be to position it as a sufficiently upscale product to warrant a premium sticker price.
