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.

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.

Hyundai Sonata PHEV may be a game (and mind) changer

Wed, Jun 17 2015

If you really, really want to consume volts instead of fuel on your way to work, school or shopping, you currently have just three options: pure EV, hydrogen fuel cell, or plug-in hybrid EV. Much as we love them, we all know the disadvantages of BEVs: high prices due to high battery cost (even though subsidized by their makers), limited range and long recharges. Yes, I know: six-figure (giant-battery) Teslas can deliver a couple hundred miles and Supercharge to ~80 percent in 10 minutes. But few of us can afford one of those, Tesla's high-voltage chargers are hardly as plentiful as gas stations, and even 10 minutes is a meaningful chunk out of a busy day. Also, good luck finding a Tesla dealership to fix whatever goes wrong (other than downloadable software updates) when it inevitably does. There still aren't any. Even more expensive, still rare as honest politicians, and much more challenging to refuel are FCEVs. You can lease one from Honda or Hyundai, and maybe soon Toyota, provided you live in Southern California and have ample disposable income. But you'd best limit your driving to within 100 miles or so of the small (but growing) number of hydrogen fueling stations in that state if you don't want to complete your trip on the back of a flatbed. That leaves PHEVs as the only reasonably affordable, practical choice. Yes, you can operate a conventional parallel hybrid in EV mode...for a mile or so at creep-along speeds. But if your mission is getting to work, school or the mall (and maybe back) most days without burning any fuel – while basking in the security of having a range-extender in reserve when you need it Â– your choices are extended-range EVs. That means the Chevrolet Volt, Cadillac ELR or a BMW i3 with the optional range-extender engine, and plug-in parallel hybrids. Regular readers know that, except for their high prices, I'm partial to EREVs. They are series hybrids whose small, fuel-efficient engines don't even start (except in certain rare, extreme conditions) until their batteries are spent. That means you can drive 30-40 (Volt, ELR) or 70-80 miles (i3) without consuming a drop of fuel. And until now, I've been fairly skeptical of plug-in versions of conventional parallel hybrids. Why?

Hyundai-Kia fuel-economy errors trigger $300M in federal penalties [w/video]

Mon, 03 Nov 2014

This amount includes $100-million in civil penalties, the largest such fines in EPA history.
Hyundai and Kia are getting more than a slap on the wrist for overstating the fuel economy of an estimated 1.2-million vehicles in their 2011-2013 model ranges. The Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Justice and the California Air Resources Board are hitting the automakers with collective penalties valued at around $300 million for Clean Air Act violations. This amount includes $100-million in civil penalties, the largest such fines in EPA history. Specifically, Hyundai is paying a $56.8 million penalty and relinquishing 2.7-million greenhouse gas emissions credits. Kia is paying $43.2 million in penalties and giving up 2.05-million credits.
