2011 Kia Sportage Ex Sport Utility 4-door 2.4l on 2040-cars

US $18,499.00
Year:2011 Mileage:43627
Location:

 This vehicle was purchased new on 4/16/2011 from Kia of Gastonia. The MSRP was $28,490 and after the dealer add-ons the total asking price was $31,178.93. This vehicle is loaded. It has both optional packages offered. The $1500.00 Navigation w/Premium Audio package and the $3000.00 Premium Package w/Leather. These packages add navigation, Sirius radio w/traffic, Reverse camera display, leather seats, heated and cooled seats, push button start w/smart key, homelink, cargo cover, pano roof, back up sensors, heated mirrors. On top of this the dealer added interior protection package, nitrogen filled tires, mud guards, cargo tray, and window tint. They also added a pinstripe but we had it removed at the dealer because my wife hates them. Also at the dealer, we had the bright chromey EX rims switched out to the LX rims because of personal preference. Also has subwoofer and proximity entry.

Reason for selling is we just purchased a brand new Expedition El and do not need two SUVs so my wife will be buying a small sedan. This vehicle gets great gas mileage, 22/31, and is in great condition inside and out. It was involved in a rear end collision in Feb. of 2012 and was repaired back to new by one of, if not the best, body shops in Charlotte, Body Works Plus LLC. This happened with 15699 miles on the vehicle so we have driven this vehicle almost 28000 trouble free miles since this repair. We have all paperwork for this repair and also all maintenance paperwork. All oil changes and work have been done by Auto Tune Total Car Care and receipts will go with vehicle. Also, all manuals, paperwork, and window sticker will be included. Both keys are included.

Kelly Blue Book value on this vehicle is $20,188 but I realize that with an accident on the vehicle the value must be adjusted to compensate for future resale value so we will sale for a $1,689 discount at $18,499 or best offer. We feel this is very fair for all involved since the vehicle has not had one problem ever and especially in the 28000 miles since the repair. Also used to reach this value was the fact that local dealer Ben Mynatt Buick GMC has a same year/miles/equipment vehicle listed on Autotrader for $20,994. Plus with buying from a private seller there is NO doc fee.

The vehicle is still under factory warranty until 4/16/2016 or 60,000 miles!

Always garaged.

This vehicle is financed through Kia so there will be a payoff procedure with title exchange. This however is simple. We just sold my F150 which was financed through Ford and it went smooth and the buyer was happier to save thousands than worrying about waiting on a title.

Bank of America is offering super APR rate through the end of Feb, as low as 2.49 for up to 72 months. $18,499 using these numbers is only $275 a month! This was only put in for informational purposes. I am NOT a dealer and do NOT offer financing or shipping. Payment can be cash or we can meet at a bank where funds will have to be confirmed before vehicle is turned over, a bill of sale can be signed/notarized, and all disclosures can be provided.

Please ask any questions or contact me to set up a time to look at this vehicle. It is in really great condition and someone is going to get a great deal. Thanks, Tim.

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:

Former Lamborghini designer reportedly headed to Hyundai

Wed, Jun 17 2015

Luc Donckerwolke (pictured above) only left his position as the Director of Design for Bentley in early June, but he might have already had a new gig lined up as he was walking out the door. Donckerwolke is reportedly teaming up with former Volkswagen Group styling bigwig Peter Schreyer at Hyundai Motor, in a position to eventually take over the look of all of the Korean brands' vehicles. At the moment, this major hire for Hyundai and Kia is still just a rumor, though, and the Korean automaker is playing it close to the vest. Company spokesperson Jim Trainor tells Autoblog, "We do not comment on speculation concerning potential appointments." However, insiders tell Automotive News that the deal is the reason for Donckerwolke walking away from his long career among VW's brands. In Korea, Donckerwolke would hold a position under Schreyer at first, and he would take over Hyundai and Kia's design duties when Schreyer retires, which is expected in about two years. Donckerwolke joined the German automotive giant in 1992 and eventually came to define the modern look of Lamborghini by penning both the Murcielago and Gallardo. In 2011, he became the Head of Advanced Design for VW Group and took over styling duties at Bentley in 2012. Schreyer left a fruitful career at VW Group, including penning the original Audi TT, to join Kia in 2006. He gained the overall design duties for the Hyundai and Kia brands in 2012. Ousted VW Chairman Ferdinand Piech once said that he was regretful of losing the talented stylist. Related Video:

2015 Kia Soul EV Prototype

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

Spend a few days chatting with the good people of Seoul about their neighbors to the north, and you'll find a pattern emerges. When they first start talking, South Korea's citizenry speaks openly and ardently about seeking reunification with their North Korean brothers and sisters. Yet once you get beyond casual conversation, you'll find that those hopes and wishes aren't all that they first appear to be. Quite reasonably - and despite everyone's best intentions - there's genuine fear that opening the border with communist North Korea would severely tax South Korea's finances, infrastructure and daily lives. It's almost as if reunification feels like something the general public has to say they want, even if they're really not buying into the reality.
It's kind of like the way American consumers and the media have been crying out for electric and hybrid automobiles, yet when it comes time to vote with their pocketbooks, their hearts just aren't in it. There are potential financial and infrastructure concerns, along with lingering worries about how well EVs will integrate into their daily lives. Today, hybrids and plug-ins make up about three percent of new vehicle sales, and the vast majority of those models are gas-electric models - one in particular. Pure electrics aren't yet even a drop in a very large bucket. It's exactly this uncomfortable dichotomy that rings in our heads as we drive through the traffic in Namyang at the wheel of a 2015 Kia Soul EV prototype.
Of course, one can't blame Kia for developing an electric car - it has California's zero-emissions mandates to meet, regardless of whether the segment's sales suggest there's a sound financial strategy attached. Kia officials we spoke with at this early drive of the company's electrified 'box' car seemed to tacitly acknowledge the Soul EV's difficult business case, but pointed to the company's effort to reduce its CO2 output as part of its reason for being. And besides, their beancounters' industry-wide projection for global EV sales in 2018 is 600,000 units, so there's got to be room to grow, right?
