This is my first attempt at describing a car so bare with me. This is a 2009 Hyundai Accent 4 Door GLS Sedan. Comes with a 1.6 liter 4 cylinder engine and 5 speed manual transmission. Comes with new plugs, new timing belt, new accessory belts, new coolant. Front brakes have less than 10k on them, same with the tires/rims combo. I will replace the cars battery and perform an oil change before you take this away along with replacing the windshield wipers. I'm a mechanic and this thing has been fairly meticulously maintained. The only immediate concern that I am aware of is the rear brake pads are low enough to warrant replacing in my opinion. They would probably pass inspection but I don't like running brakes down super low. The car has been sitting since last june so I would also recommend a fuel system cleaning. The rear trunk to this car has been painted matte black to match the black hood accent I put on (along with the rims). Front seats have been changed to black as well. Custom floormats (faux diamond plate, you can clean them without hassle), Sony head unit with cell phone mount (specifically for a iphone but adjustable to fit most smartphones, may not fit the super huge ones though), I changed the shift knob but still have the original if you prefer, has a cold air intake on it. Now the odd thing, as evidenced in the pictures, I gutted the rear. The back seat and it's trim panels, seat belts, trunk lining, and trim for the trunk were removed. Why? I was using this as a work car and needed the ability to store a lot of stuff and move it from place to place. With all that removed this thing gives you an amazing amount of storage capacity. But keep in mind only 2 people can sit in this thing as it sits. You could go junkyard hunting and replace everything to make it seat 4 again but I leave that to you. But if you're wondering why the price is so low for a maintained low mileage car, that's the reason. I have a limited market of people who'd be interested in this.

Terms are simple, first, this car does not have current inspection/emissions stickers. So you can either tow it home or figure something else out. Once the title is in your hands in your name frankly I don't care how you want to get it home. I live next to about 10 automotive shops so you could immediately take it for inspection/emissions and drive it home. Whatever floats your boat. I have the title in hand and will sign it over to you cash on delivery. No paypal, credit cards, or anything else for this transaction. Finally, all sales final. I offer zero warranty on this car of any kind. If you have any questions you should ask before buying/making an offer. As of the last time I was using it daily it drove fine. Honestly if it doesn't sell I'll just put it back on the road and keep using it. The only reason I want to move it is I have limited space for cars and have a new toy I want to buy and put in it's place.

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.

Hyundai returns to spark-compression engines with $5 million grant

Mon, Sep 24 2018

Ed note: This version adds comment from a Hyundai spokeswoman. Hyundai said Monday it has won a grant worth $4.95 million from the U.S. Department of Energy to support research and development for an advanced, mixed-mode gasoline spark-compression engine, meaning the Korean automaker appears to be back at it in its quest to develop a fuel-efficient, low-emissions gasoline compression engine that can catch the likes of Mazda's Skyactiv-X. Hyundai says the three-year grant will leverage existing work with advanced valve train and previous DOE-funded technologies. Hyundai previously was working on its own HCCI — short for homogeneous charge compression ignition Â— project, developing a Gasoline Direct-Injection Compression engine with help from Delphi that used supercharging and turbocharging, a high compression ratio and fully variable valve train. But it has never come to fruition, reportedly due in large part to added costs. Hyundai spokeswoman Michele Tinson said the grant will support a new project for the automaker. "It's a departure from the past efforts forging a new direction forward for Hyundai where the fuel and engine combustion modes can be optimized to meet new targets," she said. Tinson said the GDCI project is completing its third round of DOE funding. Hyundai in December said it plans to release 38 environmentally friendly vehicles along with its affiliate Kia, and using a variety of technologies, by 2025. Hyundai alone will account for 18 of them. The aim is to use the spark-compression engines for conventional gasoline-powered vehicles, plug-in hybrids and mild hybrids. "The opportunity to explore mixed-mode engine technology through the DOE's grant signifies Hyundai's commitment to advanced research technology and compression engines," John Juriga, director of powertrain technologies at Hyundai America's Technical Center near Ann Arbor, Mich., said in a statement. "The co-operative research project along with Michigan Technological University and Phillips 66 signifies the importance in developing fuel and engine innovations that work together for optimal vehicle performance and leading fuel economy ratings." Mazda's Skyactiv-X compression-ignition engine uses Spark Controlled Compression Ignition to achieve diesel-like gains in fuel economy Â— about 20 to 30 percent higher than its current gasoline engines Â— and lower emissions from regular gasoline. It's said to debut in late 2019. Related Video:

EPA says it will more closely monitor fuel economy claims from automakers

Fri, 15 Feb 2013

The unintended acceleration brouhaha at Toyota led to the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration tightening the vise on recall procedures. Likewise, the fuel economy kerfuffle that blew up with Hyundai and Kia's admission of overstated fuel mileage claims could lead to the Environmental Protection Agency policing automaker assertions by performing more audits.
At least, that's what a senior engineer with the government agency said while in Michigan giving a talk, according to a report in Automotive News. What that actually means, however, is still in question. Just ten to 15 percent of new vehicles - something like 150 to 200 cars per year - are rested by the EPA to verify automaker numbers. The EPA's own tests include a "fudge factor" to adjust lab mileage for real-world mileage, and the agency still relies on automakers to submit data for tests that it doesn't have the facilities to perform. How much more auditing can the EPA really expect to do, or perhaps a more relevant question would be how much more accurate could the EPA's audits become?
The price of gasoline, the psychological importance of 40 miles per gallon to a frugal car buyer, an automaker wanting to further justify the price premium of a hybrid, all of these things contribute to fuel economy numbers that insist on creeping upward. Perhaps the senior engineer encapsulated the whole situation best when he said, "Everybody wants a label that tells you exactly what you're going to get, but obviously that's not possible. A good general rule of thumb is that real-world fuel economy is about 20 percent lower than the lab numbers." If the lesson isn't exactly 'buyer beware,' it's at least 'buyer be wary.'
