**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)

If you have any questions please feel free to ask!

Kia spotted testing new 2016 Sportage in Germany

Tue, Jan 13 2015

Though the first-generation Kia Sportage stuck around for a whopping eleven years, its successor was on the market for six years before the current model was introduced in 2010. At that rate, Kia is likely to reveal the fourth-gen model some time next year, and that is precisely what we seem to have here in this latest batch of spy shots. Spotted undergoing testing at the Hyundai-Kia Technical Center in Russelsheim, Germany, this pair of Sportage prototypes are wearing a lot of camouflage to keep us from extrapolating too much about their design. Still, we're expecting much of the KX3 concept to make it onto the production Sportage as Kia moves its crossover design language in one direction and the sedans in another. Look for a wider, lower grille, wrap-around headlamps and more prominent fog lights to characterize the front end, new LED taillights around back and a silhouette similar to the current model's in between. Expect a range of gasoline and diesel engines to be offered in markets around the world, from 130 horsepower up to 250, mated to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Equipment can be anticipated to be upgraded inside as well, bringing to bear the resources of what has become one of the world's largest automakers.

Hyundai-Kia forecasts slowest sales growth in 8 years

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

Even with the arrival of the new Hyundai Genesis Sedan (above) and the expected introduction of at least two other new vehicles in 2014, Hyundai-Kia is estimating its sales will only increase by about 4.1 percent this year. Bloomberg has found that figure, which works out to a total of 7.86 million vehicles worldwide, to be lower than average analyst estimates of eight million vehicles. If the automaker is correct, that figure will represent the most sluggish growth for the Korean brands since 2006.
Based on an exchange rate of 1,050 won to the dollar - right now it's trading at anywhere from 1,050 to 1,052 depending on where you look - Hyundai is predicting a 3.8-percent uptick for sales of 4.9 million units, while Kia is expecting a 4.7-percent uptick for sales of 2.96 million units. That exchange rate is predicted to be part of what will hamper sales this year, with a stronger South Korean won making Japanese cars more price-competitive when cross-shopped. It's unclear how Hyundai derived its exchange rate, but 1,050 won to the dollar almost matches the 52-week high for all of 2013.
The company chairman mentioned a "low growth era" in the world economy, and weaker US sales are rumored to at least part of the reason John Krafcik recently vacated the post of Hyundai Motor America CEO, a post that has been filled by executive vice president of sales, David Zuchowski. That unexpected news capped a year in which two top execs resigned over quality issues and recalls and Hyundai agreed to settle a consolidated lawsuit over inflated fuel economy ratings for $395 million.

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:
