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.

What a strike in Korea could mean for US Hyundai and Kia buyers

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

A prolonged factory strike at Hyundai-Kia factories in South Korea could mean that US dealership inventory of certain vehicles, such as the South Korea-built Hyundai Accent and Kia Soul, could dry up in the coming months, depending on the length of the strike, reports Cars.com's blog, Kicking Tires. The two brands together rank sixth in US sales and fifth in global sales.
Kicking Tires gives fascinating insight into how a production stoppage in South Korea might affect vehicle sales in the US, considering Hyundai-Kia has two factories in the US that build the Kia Sorento and Optima/Optima Hybrid, and the Hyundai Elantra sedan/coupe/GT, Sonata/Sonata Hybrid and Santa Fe/Santa Fe Sport. The only one of these vehicles that's built solely in the US is the Kia Sorento, with the rest of them sharing production with South Korea.
Be sure to read the piece, especially if you're in the market for a Hyundai or Kia, or just interested in global economics.

Hyundai teases updated Equus before Big Apple debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

The digital ink has yet to dry on some of our Geneva Motor Show coverage, and we're already shifting gears getting ready for the New York Auto Show. To help get us in the New York state of mind, Hyundai has released this shadowy image hinting at the refreshed 2014 Equus that it will be unveiling at the end of the month at NYC's Javits Center.
While we can't make out any major changes in this single image, Hyundai promises at least 30 updates to its flagship sedan including improvements to styling, cabin materials and ride and handling as well as advancements in advanced safety features and "driver technology displays." If we had to guess, the latter sounds like it might be something along the lines of a digital, reconfigurable gauge cluster. The only major difference we can actually see in this image are the new multi-spoke wheels, but we're sure Hyundai will be dropping some more hints before the official introduction on March 27.
