**This Vehicle will be available for pick-up Saturday Aug 3 after 2:00 pm, or day/time after. After 500 paypal deposit has been made, remaining amount must be paid in cash during pick up**

This vehicle is in excellent running condition. The clutch feels strong, and the motor is solid. There are no leaks from the motor and transmission. The engine does not burn oil, and gas consumption is as if were new. It gets around 27 mpg on the highway. Around 23 to 25 on the streets.There are no "check engine" or "service engine" lights on. So overall, this little car is fine mechanically. Brakes work great, though there is some squeaking. Tires are good, too. Theres about 85 percent of tread of life for the front wheels, and about 55 percent of tread for the rear. There is a spare with tools in the truck. The overall body of the car has many little scratches and tiny dents. From what I understand, this vehicle has never been in a accident, though I do recommend getting a history report. From a far and at night, it looks great, but up close it's very noticeable that the car has probably been bumped by some shopping carts in its lifetime. It's not perfect, but it's not that bad either. The interior is in good shape though there are some minor issues. The seats have some cigarette burns from the previous owner (THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN OZONE CLEANED SINCE) but does not have any cigarette odors. Seats covers can easily fix this. The passenger side door handle is broke, though it does work. I would recommend fixing it, so that will be the responsibility of the new owner. The door opens just fine from the outside. Another issue with the interior is the CD player. It is the original player which has a tough time ejecting the CDs out. It takes it just fine, but ejection can be annoying. Overall I would rate the interior good. Keep in mind, it is a 10 year old car. This vehicle is not power everything. It does have power steering and power brakes, but thats it. No power windows, no power door locks etc. 

Overall I would rate this vehicle a 8 out of 10.

Pros: Runs Great! 
Cold A/C 
Great MPG
Fun to drive
No Rust!
Cons: 
Not fully loaded with options
Parking Brake does not work
Numerous little scratches and small dings (its a beater)

Hyundai phone app adjusts EV performance settings

Mon, Apr 22 2019

The latest automotive tech frontier is phone control. A few car companies have launched or are about to launch the ability to use your phone as your key, such as with the Tesla Model 3 and the just revealed 2020 Lincoln Corsair. Aside from being convenient, the technology offers the ability to save settings for different users. The latest application of the technology comes from Hyundai and Kia for electric cars, specifically letting users set performance parameters and bring them from car to car. The app allows the user to adjust several performance settings including amount of torque available, speed limits, throttle response, regenerative braking response, climate control energy use and acceleration aggressiveness. Basically, you can decide whether you want all-out speed, long-range, or a blend of the two. The more detailed settings are also nice compared to choosing between three or four pre-set blends of performance like on many cars. And of course parents would surely like the ability to limit speed and power for new drivers. What's perhaps more interesting are the ways settings can be brought along and shared. Hyundai suggests that when using a car-sharing program, drivers could have their settings uploaded to whatever car is being used so that you don't have to readjust things each time. People could also share their preferred combinations for others to use, possibly offering people less compromised combinations than they otherwise would have come up with. Hyundai could also offer recommended settings or tweaks to combinations to optimize efficiency or performance in certain conditions. It's all interesting stuff, especially for control freaks and tinkerers, and we'll see it in the near future. Hyundai and Kia say it will show up in future vehicles, though an exact date wasn't given.

How automakers stand to benefit from Iran

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

The big global news of late is a deal that sees a number of major powers easing some sanctions on Iran in return for the Middle Eastern nation scaling back its nuclear program. This thawing of relations between Iran and the West could have far-reaching impacts in both the near and long term, particularly on the auto industry.
As Bloomberg points out, foreign manufacturers, especially Kia and Peugeot, stand to win big by this short-term easing of sanctions. But the impact of opening up the Iranian market to larger-scale sales cannot be underestimated - Peugeot, for example, sold 457,900 units to Iran in 2011 as spare parts kits alone. Opening the Iranian market could also have a huge impact on the cost of oil, as the country was one of the largest producers in the OPEC consortium before firmer sanctions took effect in 2012. Still, as David Cohen, US undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence said, it's "not open season now for business in Iran."
Bloomberg has an excellent report of all the near-term effects an easing of sanctions has across a number of industries. Hop over and give it a look.

Supermodel Adriana Lima kicks off World Cup fever with Kia

Mon, 09 Jun 2014

Americans, it has been said time and time again, will never embrace soccer. Not when we have so many other sports (like baseball, basketball, hockey and American football) to watch, cheer on and follow. But if anyone can change minds, surely it's Adriana Lima. The Latin American supermodel - best known for being a Victoria's Secret Angel - is the lust-worthy centerpiece of Kia's campaign for the FIFA World Cup, taking place this year in her native Brazil.
Kia is sponsoring this year's international soccer championship, and is kicking off its campaign with two ads in which Lima does her best to convert Americans into futbol fans and players. Which seem like a losing battle to begin with, but the least believable part of it very well might be that an international supermodel like Adriana would be driving around in an Optima or Sorento and not in a Mercedes or Maserati convertible. Of course that doesn't mean we mind watching her try, and so can you in the pair of clips below.
