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.

A spotter's guide to Super Bowl LIV car commercials

Fri, Jan 31 2020

Set to kick off on Fox at 6:30 ET on Sunday, February 2, from Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, the big game will feature the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. Throughout Super Bowl LIV, viewers will see about 50 commercials, each of which costs as much as $5.6 million per 30 seconds, according to AdWeek. Originally, there were more than 77 ad slots, so several companies could be paying well more than $10 million for a single, longer commercial. Numerous car companies have already announced their commercials, or their intentions to show commercials, during the game. Here's a roundup of the ones we know about so far. During the game on Sunday, we'll be livestreaming and adding links to the new commercials as they become available, so check back with us for that post.  Audi: E-Tron Sportback Maisie Williams has experience wearing many faces, and in Audi's Super Bowl commercial, she does her best Elsa impression. In the spot, titled "Let It Go," Williams faces the rigorous task of getting through L.A. traffic, but she's alleviated by the comfort of the Audi E-Tron Sportback electric crossover. The commercial is meant to signal the company leaving its gas past behind and moving forward to a sustainable future.  Genesis: GV80 Genesis makes its Super Bowl debut with a commercial that will show its all-new SUV, the GV80, to viewers around the world (many of which will be seeing the vehicle for the first time). The ad features Chrissy Teigen and John Legend as the purveyors of "new luxury," while "old luxury" is left for the birds. GMC: Hummer General Motors is bringing back the Hummer nameplate as a premium electric GMC truck. GM says it will have 1,000 horsepower and will be capable of going zero to 60 mph in three seconds. GM brought in NBA legend and Hummer fanboy LeBron James for the debut commercial. Hyundai: Sonata Hyundai is known for bringing in the big-time celebrities for its commercials, and 2020 is no different. A new advertisement called "Smaht Pahk" features John Krasinski, Chris Evans, and Rachel Dratch, all three of whom are from the Boston area. The trio gets into full character as they discuss the new high-tech parking feature on the redesigned 2020 Hyundai Sonata, and David Ortiz makes a cameo at the end. Even when New England isn't in the Super Bowl, New England is in the Super Bowl.

Frankfurt Motor Show Notes: Why Jaguar decided to build an SUV

Wed, Sep 16 2015

It was inevitable. Jaguar had to make an SUV, and that notion became reality this week with the debut of the F-Pace, an all-wheel-drive five-seater that will launch in the United States next spring. Some purists may cringe. But in an era when Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, and other traditional luxury brands are all building or (planning to build) SUVs, Jaguar had to evolve. While it seems like a leap for Jaguar to make an SUV, longtime design director Ian Callum said it's been in the works for years. "The first time I was asked the question was when I arrived 16 years ago," he said. So in 1999 (and probably well before that), Jaguar was already thinking SUV. What took so long? "It wasn't a priority," Callum said. Jaguar was concentrating on fixing its existing lineup, which was pockmarked with holes and poorly selling products, like the X-Type. Along the way, Jaguar and sister brand Land Rover were sold by Ford to Indian conglomerate Tata Motors. Flash forward several years, and Jaguar and Land Rover are both experiencing a resurgence in the United States and around the world. Jaguar's lineup is flush with the E-Type's modern successor, the F-Type, plus a new version of the XF. The XJ received a 2016 freshening, and the smaller XE sedan is on the way. Jaguar put its house in order as other factors conspired to make a crossover timely. Fuel prices stayed relatively low, and consumers in the US and China remained steadfast in their love for utility vehicles of all stripes. Making a Jaguar SUV became a priority. "The world was telling us in no uncertain terms this is what they wanted," Callum said. "Not to be in the sector would be a little naive for the sake of purity." Jaguar proved its intent two years ago when it revealed the C-X17 crossover concept at Frankfurt, and the final production model is close to the prototype's striking looks. "I thought we managed to maintain that spirit," Callum said. It's a true Jaguar, with cues from the F-Type, 1968 XJ, and other famous models. Who would have thought Jaguar would make an SUV? "I certainly didn't," Callum admitted. But the F-Pace is here. If Callum is okay with it, purists can be, too. Quick Hits Opel retrenches for 2016 and beyond Opel used the Frankfurt show to display its new generation of the Astra, a critical vehicle line for the German division of General Motors.

First hydrogen Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell CUVs arrive in California

Wed, May 21 2014

These crossovers are not available in showroom quite yet, but the first batch of Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell vehicles has made it to California. Hyundai is promising retail availability, "within the next several weeks," which means early June or so for the $499/month CUVs. We previously heard in January that these hydrogen-powered Tucsons were supposed to be in US customers' hands by the end of March, so things are running behind schedule. Still, the delivery at a port near Los Angeles marks the "first delivery of a mass-produced fuel cell vehicle for the US market," Hyundai says, which could be a big deal when we look back at the evolution of hydrogen-powered vehicles in the US (though we're guessing at least one other manufacturer might object to the Korean automaker's claim). Mike O'Brien, vice president, corporate and product planning for Hyundai Motor America, is certainly upbeat, saying in a statement that Hyundai is "proud of our leadership role in this important segment of the alternative fuel vehicle market." So far, that's a segment that the company has almost all to itself. There are a very small number of hydrogen vehicles around today, including the Honda FCX Clarity and a few test vehicles from other automakers, but the numbers are set to grow next year when Toyota and Honda introduce new hydrogen sedans. For now, though, Hyundai can make a splash simply by bringing these vehicles to our shores. Hyundai's First Mass-Produced Tucson Fuel Cell CUVs Arrive In Southern California Tucson Fuel Cell, the Next-Generation Electric Vehicle, Arrives at Port Hueneme With Retail Availability Soon PORT HUENEME, Calif., May 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, at a port near Los Angeles, Hyundai's Tucson Fuel Cell CUVs began rolling onto U.S. soil, marking the first delivery of a mass-produced fuel cell vehicle for the U.S. market. The first retail sale of the Tucson Fuel Cell is expected within the next several weeks in Southern California. Under the Hyundai leasing program, approved lessees can drive Hyundai's next-generation Tucson Fuel Cell for just $499 per month, including unlimited free hydrogen refueling and "At Your Service" valet maintenance at no extra cost. For the first time, retail consumers can now put a mass-produced, federally-certified hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in their driveways, with availability at three select southern California Hyundai dealers: Tustin Hyundai, Win Hyundai in Carson, and Hardin Hyundai in Anaheim.
