2008 Hyundai Entourage Minivan Silver 121k Miles Runs Great on 2040-cars
Noblesville, Indiana, United States

This is a FANTASTIC running vehicle. I work nights. We had -40 temperatures this winter, and it sat outside in the elements while I worked at night. It never hesitated to fire right up even in -40F. We also had record snow fall for us this winter, and again, this van handled tremendously well in all that snow and ice. I'm very hesitant to let go of this vehicle as it has really proven its worth this year, but, we don't need 3 vehicles. The local Kia dealership offered me $5000 for it. It does have a few small issues. There is a scrape on the rear panel of the passenger side. See the pics. There is a small chip on the bottom of the driver's side front windshield. It is not in the main field of vision. This happened a year ago, and it has not offered to worsen even after our -40 temps this winter. The second row, driver's side power sliding door doesn't work on occasion. It is intermittent. It will work fine for days on end, and then it will not want to close. We have just turned the power doors off when this happens and used them as regular, manual sliding doors. It starts working again on its own. I have not asked about the cost of repairing this as it never really bothered me that much. We will change the oil in it and rotate the tires before you pick it up. We replaced the rear brakes about 6 months ago. The tires are about a year old. This has a lot of great features for an even better price! CD, am/fm, cruise control, audio controls and cruise control on the steering wheel, power driver's seat, power door locks, dual power sliding doors, power windows, the second row windows come down also, dual ac/heat w/separate ac/heat controls in the rear, lots of cup holders and storage compartments, vanity mirrors, third row seats stow 'n go, power charging ports (only the cig lighter variety, no usb or ac ports), luggage roof rack, and the tray in between the 2 front seats lowers if you want to put something skinny down there. The second row bucket seats are supposed to be removable, but we have not figured out how they come out. Please ask any questions before bidding. I have listed this as 121000 miles. It actually has less than that on it, but I will be driving it until it gets a bid/buy it now, or I sell it locally. Once the auction has a bid/buy it now, I will park it, as it then belongs to someone else. $500 non-refundable deposit due within 48 hours of auction end through Paypal. The vehicle must be picked up, and the balance paid within 10 days of the end of the auction. I am not interested in trades. Buyer is solely responsible for picking up van. I will work with a shipping company if that is how the buyer arranges for pick up. I will not arrange pick up/shipping for you. |

Asian automakers still reluctant to use more aluminum
Tue, Jun 24 2014There's a logical progression of technology in the auto industry. We've seen it with things like carbon-ceramic brakes, which use to be the sole domain of six-figure sports cars, where they often cost as much as an entry level Toyota Corolla. Now, you can get them on a BMW M3 (they're still pricey, at $8,150). Who knows, maybe in the next four a five years, they'll be available on something like a muscle car or hot hatchback. Aluminum has had a similar progression, although it's further along, moving from the realm of Audi and Jaguar luxury sedans to Ford's most important product, the F-150. With the stuff set to arrive in such a big way on the market, we should logically expect an all-aluminum Toyota Camry or Honda Accord soon, right? Um, wrong. Reuters has a great report on what's keeping Asian manufacturers away from aluminum, and it demonstrates yet another stark philosophical difference between automakers in the east and those in the west. Of course, there's a pricing argument at play. But it's more than just the cost of aluminum sheet (shown above) versus steel. Manufacturing an aluminum car requires extensive retooling of existing factories, not to mention new relationships with suppliers and other logistical and financial nightmares. Factor that in with what Reuters calls Asian automaker's preference towards "evolutionary upgrades," and the case for an all-aluminum Accord is a difficult one. Instead, manufacturers in the east are focusing on developing even stronger steel as a means of trimming fat, although analysts question how long that practice can continue. Jeff Wang, the automotive sales director for aluminum supplier Novelis, predicts that we'll see a bump in aluminum usage from Japanese and Korean brands in the next two to three years, and that it will be driven by an influx of aluminum-based vehicles from western automakers into China. Only time will tell if he's proven right. News Source: ReutersImage Credit: Sean Gallup / Getty Images Plants/Manufacturing Honda Hyundai Mazda Nissan Toyota Technology aluminum
Joyrider nearly collides with kids, chased down by cops
Tue, 03 Jun 2014A 14-year-old joyrider was able to outrun police in Utah but couldn't make it around a protective parent in a pickup truck. According to KSTU Fox 13 News in Utah, the thieving youngster's grandfather reported the white Hyundai Veloster missing, and police were already searching for it. As it turns out, his grandson had taken it and was driving like a crazy person. He even sped through a park where children were playing and into a neighborhood (video below).
Eventually, one of the parents at the park had enough. When the Hyundai appeared to be coming back to the park, he hopped into his pickup to stop the out of control teen and put himself in harm's way. After the violent way he was stopped by an oncoming truck, the kid might think twice about stealing any more cars. Bystanders got most of the incident on cell phone videos, including the crash, and you can scroll down to watch them and the news report for a little more backstory.
Hyundai, BMW and Ford win Concept Vehicle of the Year awards
Sat, 06 Jul 2013More than two dozen jurors started with a pool of 23 concept cars introduced at the most recent Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Toronto and New York auto shows, then pared it down to three winners in three categories for the twelfth annual North American Concept Vehicle of the Year Awards. The trophy-bearers are said to be those "vehicles most likely to shape the future of the automobile industry," and lead their classes in the Concept Car, Concept Truck and Production Preview divisions.
Hyundai had two cars as finalists for the Concept Car category, the competition boiled down to the Hyundai HCD-14 Genesis concept, Veloster C3 Roll Top, Honda EV-STER and the Toyota Corolla Furia. It won with the HCD-14 Genesis that was introduced at the Detroit Auto Show, a sharp sedan that sharply divided opinion between those who thought it was too much, those who thought it was too much Audi A7, and those who thought it was perfect. The award panel's judges, however, thought so much of it that it's got two awards in one sitting, not only taking concept car honors, but because it earned the highest overall score in the competition it also takes the crown for Most Significant Concept Vehicle of 2013.
The final selection in the Concept Truck category was down to the Ford Atlas, Kia Cross GT, Nissan Resonance and Volkswagen Cross Blue. The Ford Atlas took the silverware, after also winning the Eyes on Design award - shared with the Nissan Resonance - at the Detroit Auto Show where it was introduced.
