Streamwood, Illinois, United States

2003 Hyundai Tibuorn GT v-6, with 6-speed manual transmission.  This car is in excellent mechanical condition, with no major repairs necessary (now and likely not in the near future, though there's no guarantees with used vehicles of course.)  The strongest selling point of this vehicle is the excellent mechanical condition, recency and quality of wear-item replacement, and the conversion from the factory clutch (an infamously poor design which was the central part of a class-action lawsuit) to a premium solid-flywheel clutch. Working at a friend's repair shop, the car was maintained ahead of schedule, and thoroughly (i.e. complete breakdown and rebuild of brake system when brakes were needed, replacement of intake & plenum gaskets during tune-up simply because the access was easier with wires off, etc.)

BESIDES COSMETIC (rust, dings, etc.), and the blown passenger airbag, the only repair that really should be taken care of (flasher relay) will cost either about $3 if you DIY, or about $100 if you send the part in for repair. I have all of the information and vendors for the repair, whether DIY walkthru or repair vendors. Everything else, operationally, is in excellent working condition, with no scheduled maintenance in the near future (besides oil changes, etc.)

Recent: 
BRAKES:
Ultra-Premium Akebono Brake Pads (front & rear)
Premium "Carquest Blue" Brake rotors (front & rear)
Replaced one Brake Caliper, rebuilt remaining 3

Timing Belt @ 95,000 miles (so next recommended interval would be in another 49,000 miles)

Air Intake & Plenum Gaskets both replaced during full tune-up at about 100,000 miles.

Tune-Up at about 100,000 miles using premium wires & plugs.

Tires have less than 15,000 miles on them - I may be able to find the paperwork in case any warranty is transferable.

Oil Changes were performed every 3 months, at typically less than 2000 miles, using premium filters and high quality standard (not synthetic) oil.

Basically what you have is an excellent vehicle for the price if you want great performance, but don't mind (or are willing to fix) some body rust, etc.

I'm selling this car because we have 2 little ones and this car is made for handling, fun, and reasonably decent fuel economy - NOT for throwing your back out trying to move baby seats in and out of!  This is the 3rd and final vehicle we're clearing out so that our Camry can become our small vehicle while I embrace my inner hillbilly and clear off a driveway spot for an obnoxiously, unnecessarily large pickup truck :) 

This is being advertised locally as well, and so auction may be canceled if a solid cash offer comes in before the end of the auction.

A note on my zero-feedback, brand-new account - I had to create this new account due to the mandatory password reset - apparently I had my old work email address and an old cell # in my ebay account which I had been using since the mid-90's. If you have any security/honesty concerns, please contact me thru ebay. I'll reply back to answer questions, and provide cell number at which I will be happy to speak with you to answer any questions you may have (as well as to schedule coming by to see/test drive the vehicle, etc.)

To the winner of the auction! Vehicle IS in perfect running/driving condition to drive home; the only exception being you won't have turn signals (but tail lights, headlights, brake lights, etc., all work.)

Viewing / Test Drive - Contact me to make arrangements to see the vehicle in person if you wish. Test drive on my street only as the license plates have been removed already, and ONLY competent stick shift drivers may test drive the vehicle.

AND FINALLY - if you wish to make a ready cash offer before the close of the auction, contact me and let's talk.

Next-gen Hyundai Genesis reveals new skin on 'Ring

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

The launch of the next-generation Hyundai Genesis is drawing closer and closer, and this latest set of spy shots gives us our best look yet at the Korean automaker's new sedan. Caught testing on the Nürburgring, we're not only getting a better look at the finer details of the Hyundai's exterior, but this set of photos gives us a clear view inside the cockpit, as well.
For its new generation, the Hyundai Genesis appears to be moving a bit more upmarket in terms of materials and layout, with a redesigned steering wheel, gauge cluster and center stack. The current car's analog clock appears to be left intact, smack dab in the middle of the heating and cooling controls, but the rest of the updates look decidedly more modern and, if we're honest, a bit German.
Outside, it's obvious that the new Hyundai will wear a more aggressive front fascia, along with what appears to be a more rakish rear deck. Earlier reports have stated that the next Genesis will be much lighter than the current car, and with a much more sporty tune to the suspension. We'll know more when the car is officially revealed, though it's still unclear exactly when that will be.

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014

Thu, 10 Apr 2014

While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:

2014 Hyundai Accent gets updated styling, added convenience features

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

Integrated blind-spot mirrors are hardly a luxury item, but they're one of the simplest yet most welcome equipment developments we've seen in some time, and we're glad to see them beginning to spread throughout the industry's offerings. The 2014 Hyundai Accent is the latest car to get them, along with a host of other new features.
Chief among the changes to Hyundai's entry-level offering are new projector headlamps that combine LED accents with a welcome-light function, along with an available B&M Racing sport shifter on the five-door SE hatchback. Other small-but-useful standard-equipment updates include triple-flash turn signals and sliding sun visors, while uplevel SE models are treated to a tilt/telescope steering wheel, updated audio system with improved ergonomics and voice recognition, auto-up driver's side window and the aforementioned upgraded projector headlamps.
Mechanically speaking, the Accent appears unchanged, with the sole engine offering consisting of Hyundai's well-regarded 1.6-liter Gamma four-cylinder delivering 138 horsepower and 123 pound-feet of torque to go along with its fuel economy ratings of 27 miles per gallon city and 38 highway.
