HISTORY & DESCRIPTION

You are looking at a beautiful 2012 Hyundai Veloster sportback in excellent condition loaded with plenty of extra features and options which you can see above, including the "Style Package", the upgraded "Dimension" stereo system (with built-in amp) and all-glass panoramic sunroof. This car is a Florida car which has been very well-kept. I am the 2nd owner of this car and it has been my daily driver for about 15 months. I've never experienced any issues or problems with this car whatsoever. I purchased it certified pre-owned at the very same dealership it was purchased at new by the original owner, and as such I do have some knowledge of the car's history prior to my ownership. The original owner was a doctor who purchased the car sometime in early 2012, and only owned it for around 7 months before trading it back in on something newer & bigger. I've been told that she used the car to travel back and forth from Florida to Texas on a weekly basis, which makes sense being that when I purchased it in December of 2012 the car already had a little over 15,000 miles on it. However, keep in mind that at least 80% of those are highway miles, which any good mechanic or car guru will tell you only account for about a third as much wear and tear on a car than city miles do. During the 15 months I have owned the car, I have put about 17,000 miles on it myself, again being mostly highway miles as I regularly drive back and forth between Florida and Louisiana. This car has ridiculously good gas mileage for a sporty type of car - 30mpg on the highway and 25 in the city - which is one of the main reasons I purchased it to begin with.

It has undergone all regularly-scheduled maintenance, repairs, recall and warranty work at the same dealership that both I and the previous owner purchased it at. As recently as last week it was taken in for scheduled recall & warranty work, all of which was completed without issue. The vehicle also received 2 brand new Kumho tires in the process (which match the 2 older but still in excellent shape Kumho tires not replaced). This vehicle has never been smoked in under my watch, and as far as I can tell was a non-smoker under the original owner as well.

I really really hate having to get rid of this car, as it has been by far the most reliable, fun and luxurious vehicle I've ever owned. It is fast, nimble and excels at fighting through heavy traffic. Though it is not the turbo model, it could be very easily upgraded with an aftermarket turbo as there is ample space inside the engine compartment to allow for such an installation. Other than a small amount of normal wear and tear (glossy finish on steering wheel is wearing off, a little scraping damage around the edges of a couple rims), there is absolutely nothing wrong with this vehicle whatsoever. For 15 months it has been my baby, but unfortunately a combination of work and health-related factors are now forcing me to sell it, despite numerous efforts I've made thus far to be able to keep it. I can only hope at this point that it goes to someone who will enjoy it as much as I have, because it is a really awesome car that I'm sure will be fun for anyone to drive.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks for looking, and happy bidding!!

WARRANTY

This vehicle is being sold "as-is" without any type of warranty from myself - HOWEVER - there are several factory warranties that exist for this car, the vast majority of which have not expired and will transfer automatically to you, the new owner, as soon as payment is received and the title transferred over to your name. You can find out all of the warranty details yourself by clicking this link. Buyer assumes all responsibility for obtaining warranty info/details/obligations after listing is completed.

PAYMENT

Winning bidder must contact me within 24 hours of auction end, and make arrangements for payment at that time (Paypal is HIGHLY preferred). A $500.00 deposit is due within 24 hours of end of auction or risk a no-sale default. Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE. The remainder is due in full within 3 days of auction end. If no contact is made within 24 hours I reserve the right to re-list the vehicle, sell it to the next high bidder, or sell it otherwise. Please do not bid on this auction unless you are serious about owning this vehicle. All non-paying high bidders will be reported to eBay, and negative feedback will be posted.

SHIPPING

Will deliver free of charge to any location within 100 miles of Pensacola, FL. For any location within 100-300 miles of Pensacola, I will deliver for a $200 fee. Otherwise, buyer assumes all responsibility for shipping, including any and all associated costs/fees/expenses and travel arrangments. This includes shipping insurance. Keep in mind this vehicle is being sold out of Northwest Florida, so if you live in Alaska, Seattle, Maine or anywhere else thousands of miles away , be prepared to pay a decent amount of $$ associated with getting this vehicle to your front door.

2014 Hyundai i40 Tourer / Sonata wagon

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Recently, we took a vacation to Australia, because sometimes we have to get away from all of that other travel and good living that we withstand in order to bring you the latest car news. While there, we grabbed the keys to a Hyundai i40 Tourer, essentially the Sonata wagon we never got a chance to love here.
Even though it didn't have a manual transmission, it did have a diesel and, for reasons beyond that oil-burner, our enduring affections. No, this story will not include another plea for Hyundai to bring it to the US - it likely wouldn't stand a chance against our crossover- and size-crazed mania, but it's a brilliant fit for markets that appreciate tidy haulers.

2015 Hyundai Sonata found uncovered in Korea

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

Hyundai is locked and loaded to debut its redesigned, 2015 Sonata at the New York Auto Show next month. For one enterprising Korean photographer, however, the reveal just couldn't come soon enough.
A South Korean website called Bobaedream.co.kr unceremoniously published some images of what would appear to be a completely undisguised example of the new Sonata. Korean Car Blog quickly followed up on the leak, claiming that the car in question was fitted with Hyundai's 2.0-liter turbocharged GDI engine, making 274 horsepower, and connected to an all-new, seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Whether that information came from a reliable insider source (as the photos would suggest) or was just a best guess, we can't say. But we can see what direction Hyundai is headed in with the Sonata. The front end seen in the spy shots is more or less what we'd already seen in the last teaser picture, with a new headlamp design helping to set off a prominent grille. The grille does seem to have some element of the strong, graphical surround from the teaser, too, though it's not as defined in these low-resolution pictures. Sheetmetal on the hood and bodysides seems cleaner, straighter and less fussy than in the current car, too. As for whether or not this is the Korean-spec car or the one destined for the US market, that's unclear, though we have been told that the two cars do look very similar.

Hyundai refining dealer strategy for premium models

Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Automotive News reports Hyundai is set to give its sales strategy for premium vehicles a once-over. Moving forward, each of the automaker's five North American regions will have a premium product operations manager. Those managers will all report directly to a senior group manager based at the Hyundai headquarters in California. To begin with, the group will start by identifying what dealers are currently doing right to sell the automaker's luxury hardware. From there, the group will then help spread those practices to the 320 dealerships currently authorized to sell the Equus. All told, Hyundai has some 800 dealers in the US.
The move comes ahead of the launch of the second-generation Genesis and Equus. Both sedans are slated to hit showrooms by early next year. The Genesis debuted in 2008 with the Genesis Coupe following along in 2009, while the Equus first landed on US shores in 2011.
