I'm selling my 2011 Hyundai Sonata SE Pacific Pearl Blue with 27,5xx miles because I live in the city and don't want to pay the outrageous parking rates. I'm selling on CL because I like to cut out middlemen who do not add value whenever possible. In a nutshell, I want to split the dealer's take with you, and we can both go home happy.


*Maintenance*
- I have a folder with receipts documenting the maintenance and small repairs done on the car; the CarFax history report also verifies maintenance.
- The car has had manufacture suggested checks up to the mileage to-date.
- Oil/checks have been performed every 5k for the first 15k, and every 3k thereafter. The service dates were done by Hyundai dealerships who also performed some warranty work. Since about 15k miles, I have been taking the car to my local mechanic that has been servicing my family's cars for 15 years; we have had cars run to over 215k.

*Appearance/Exterior Work*
- In 2012, I was rear ended at a low speed while on a trip with the car. The damages were approximately $1,200 and were on the real drivers-side bumper. Recently, my drivers-side taillight became unhooked from the plastic bolts holding it in place, and I had the taillight replaced last week. I believe the taillight issue was related to the fender bender.
- The car was parked on the street in Chicago for approximately 11 months at my old apartment. During that time, I had the good fortune of being the recipient of small paint scrapes on the rear bumper, a keying on the rear passenger door (aprox. 1.5 inches), and a scoff that appears to be from a door on the rear driver's side door (aprox .25 inches). The passenger side wheels also have a few curb burns from parking too close to the curb.
-- Last week, I took the car to the body shop and had them replace the rear taillight (from above), and buff and touch-up the bumper and respective scrapes on the doors. The paint scrapes on the rear bumper are virtually gone, and the two scrapes on the doors require effort to find. I have the receipt.
- I just had the car detailed (interior and exterior) on 9/14.

*Feature Highlights*
From my personal point of view, my favorite aspects of the car are, in no particular order:
- looks: Hyundai did a great job redesigning the Sonata's in 2011, and the SE has bigger wheels than the Limited and more chrome than the GLS and Limited. 
- efficiency and practicality: I regularly get 35+mpg on the highway and the gas tank is large enough to outlive most bladders on road trips. In terms of practicality, its a four-door sedan; it holds people comfortably and has a great size trunk.
- reliability: I have never had any problems with the car, and the warranty comforted me at the original purchase (and is still valid with plenty of time and miles remaining). The Sonata line is well regarded in terms of reliability and maintenance is relatively cheap (it ain't no BMW).
- driving: The driving experience is enjoyable for a mid-size sedan; the manual mode in the transmission is great for passing and provides a satisfactory illusion of a more sporty car on two lane twisties.
- technology: bluetooth in the car is literally lifesaving and makes it easy to make phone calls and play music from a phone and they keyless entry and start are great (you don't even have to remove the key from your pocket).

Please message me with any questions or if you want any more pictures.  I have quite a few.

Hyundai Elantra interior teased

Thu, Aug 27 2015

Hyundai doesn't seem too concerned about keeping the next-gen Elantra a secret. Following a recent teaser image of the updated exterior, the Korean company is now giving the world a look at the inside of its upcoming sedan. Similar to the outside, this monochrome rendering shows a minimalist overhaul for the interior. The controls are limited to a few buttons near the gearshift, some nobs on the center stack, and the functions on the steering wheel. The infotainment system is positioned at the center of the dashboard and is flanked by the HVAC vents. For a slight visual flourish, the dash wears a two-tone finish with a lighter shade on the bottom. A piece of trim stretches across the whole width to break up the colors. Hyundai confirmed the next-gen Elantra's debut at the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show in November. That leaves a lot of time for even more teasers. Rumors suggest the powertrain range might include a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder, which produces 175 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque in the 2016 Tucson.

Hyundai tops Toyota in annual CarMD Vehicle Health Index

Fri, 06 Dec 2013

CarMD has released its third annual Vehicle Health Index, which for the 2013 tracked the frequency and cost of repairs for "check engine" problems of 119-million vehicles built between the 2003 and 2013 model years. For the first two years of the index, Toyota ranked at the top of the list, but this year's results see Hyundai moved to number one, pushing Toyota down a spot.
The Korean automaker's rise to the top has been "fueled by its low repair frequency," according to CarMD. Toyota is second to Hyundai in lowest repair frequency, but Toyotas also have the highest average cost of repair. (Interestingly, General Motors vehicles have the lowest average.) Both Toyota's and Hyundai's manufacturer "health" ratings suffered this year, but Toyota took a bigger hit, which also is what helped Hyundai achieve the top ranking.
While Hyundai is the top manufacturer in the index, the 2012 Toyota Camry is the top vehicle. The best-ranking Hyundai was the 2010 Elantra (behind three Nissan models and four Toyotas), which took the number eight spot. Hyundai has six other vehicles in the top 100.

Hyundai reveals CEO's pay for first time ever

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

Thanks to some government pressure, Hyundai's billionaire chairman, Chung Mong Koo, has revealed just how much he gets paid each year. Honestly, the amount is a bit lower than we'd expect considering he helms such a huge industrial empire. The 76-year-old chairman brought home $13 million in 2013, $5.2 million of which came from Hyundai's automotive business while both Mobis and Hyundai Steel chipped in $3.94 million, each. For reference, Ford CEO Alan Mulally netted $23.2 million in 2013, although the vast majority of that money came from stock options.
The push for Chung to reveal his pay was part of a larger effort by the South Korean government called the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act. The act forces several thousand companies to release info on annual pay, bonuses and severance for employees earning over $5 million won ($469,000), according to Bloomberg.
"With the disclosure of the executives' compensation, the pressure to deliver better profits will increase," said Heo Pil Seok, the CEO of Midas International Asset Management. It seems to be working, as Hyundai shareholders, of which Midas is one, have seen their shares increase by 6.1 percent in 2014, which includes a 1.2-percent jump as of yesterday, according to Bloomberg.
