I apologize for the car being dirty in the pictures, I just got back from a road trip and haven't had a chance to wash it due to all the rain we have been having lately. Now about the car:


Rebuilt title. It can be hard to finance a rebuilt title car, so please do not bid unless you are paying cash or already have your financing lined up.

I bought the car after it was repaired with 19,600 miles on it. Current mileage is just under 38,000. The car hasn't given me any problems in the almost 20k miles I have driven it including long roadtrips to Arkansas, Arizona, Mississippi and Colorado.


Car runs drives and shifts good. I have always run Mobil 1 full synthetic oil and it doesn't have any leaks and hasn't given me any problems.
Tires have approx 70% treadlife left and are wearing evenly since I bought them new at about 24k miles.
Front and rear brake pads both have 80% or greater pad life left.

Mostly stock with the only mods being:

Corksport Intake/Turbo Inlet Pipe
Corksport Rear Motor Mount Insert


Issues:
-CD player doesn't work (says "check disk" when you select CD mode), Radio and AUX input work perfectly (Aux is what I use 90% of the time to play music from my ipod) so I never replaced it since I don't use the CD player function.
-Washer fluid resivour has a small leak when it is filled more than half full (system still works and sprays liquid properly, you just can't fill it all the way).
-Small cigarette burn in passanger front seat (car does not smell of smoke at all, this burn was there when I bought the car and the car has never been smoked in since I've owned it.
-As mentioned, car is a rebuilt title due to a previous front end collision.
-When I got an alignent a couple years ago, the tech did not set the steering wheel to perfect dead center (you'll only notice this on the highway when going straight the wheel is ever so slightly to the left). I didn't notice the tech didn't reset it until I had already moved from Arizona to Texas and It didn't bother me enough to get another alignment done. Car drives fine and tracks good, just needs the steering wheel adjusted.
-a few minor paint chips/dings typical of any used car, but nothing major or very noticeable (wanted to point this out as this isn't a "perfect" condition vehicle, but what used car really is?)



Bonus items:

Brand New set of iridium sparkplugs
Extra Oil Filter
Extra set of Rear Hawk Performance Brake Pads
Special Oil filter wrench socket


This has been a good reliable car inspite of the rebuilt title. I have tried to be as comprehensive as I can in describing the car and any defects it has. Car is in overall good condition, but is a used vehicle. Only selling because I upgraded to a Corvette and don't need the extra vehicle. Any questions please ask. Thank you.

2021 L.A. Auto Show roundup | All the reveals, reviews, pictures

Thu, Nov 18 2021

The L.A. Auto Show took place this week for the first time since the onset of the pandemic. It was a show packed with news and reveals, which hasn't really been the case with other shows we've seen this year, and Autoblog was on the floor covering every minute of it. Well, Riswick and Stocksdale were, anyway. The rest of us were sitting at home in our sweatpants, but hey, we'll take credit anyway. Let's get to it. Hyundai Seven Concept This is the Hyundai Seven Concept, and it’s meant to act as a preview for an incoming electric SUV for the Ioniq brand. It leans more toward the concept side of the spectrum than a production car, but expect the final SUV to take design cues from the Seven Concept. Kia Concept EV9 The Hyundai Seven counterpart isn't the only big, bold electric SUV at L.A. this year. Kia has its own take, and it's a modernized version of the traditional boxy utility vehicle called the Concept EV9. It also previews one of the next production electric cars for the brand, which should look right at home next to things like the Telluride. 2023 Kia Sportage HEV As promised, the 2023 Kia Sportage HEV has been revealed. The hybrid powertrain makes the compact SUV the most powerful version available, and it goes on sale next year. The engine is a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder paired with a 44-kW electric motor. Total output is 226 horsepower. The company didn't give a torque number, but it should basically be the same as the Sorento HEV that has the same basic powertrain: 258 pound-feet. Those numbers are a healthy step up from the 187 horsepower of the base 2.5-liter engine. 2022 Range Rover If you noticed how extra smooth and suave the new Range Rover looked during its recent reveal, Autoblog's James Riswick got a design tour that revealed some of the technological secrets to its success. "Less is more" is harder to achieve than it looks. Fisker Ocean Fisker has brought the new Ocean EV to the L.A. Auto Show, with a public preview at Manhattan Beach and a presence at the show itself. You can watch the public show reveal above, and see more shots from the show floor below. Fisker says the Ocean will start at $37,499 before incentives. That entry model would be the Sport trim with a single, 275-horsepower motor driving the front wheels and 250 miles of estimated range. It also has a 0-60 time of 6.9 seconds. 2023 Toyota bZ4X This is the 2023 Toyota bZ4X, due to hit U.S.

Most reliable cars and trucks of 2022

Tue, Nov 15 2022

Related: Least reliable cars and trucks of 2022   For years now, Consumer Reports has been one of the most prolific sources of vehicle reliability data around. The organization tests a number of vehicles each year and surveys its members on various automotive topics, including reliability. The results of its 2022 annual auto survey are in, and the list of most reliable vehicles has been revealed. Unsurprisingly, Toyota and Lexus dominated the list of most reliable vehicles, but BMW and Mini snuck into the top 10 as well. The list includes: Toyota Corolla Hybrid: 93 Lexus GX: 91 Mini Cooper: 89 Toyota Prius: 89 Mazda MX-5 Miata: 85 Lincoln Corsair: 82 Toyota Corolla: 81 Subaru Crosstrek: 80 BMW 3 Series: 80 Toyota Prius Prime: 77 In terms of the most reliable vehicle type, Consumer Reports says that sedans remain the best choice. Their average score is 58, which is notably better than SUVs’ average score of 51. Minivans and pickup trucks are lower, at 44 and 39, respectively. As Consumer Reports notes, many sedans are older models that have allowed their manufacturers to iron out the wrinkles, making them more reliable. Domestic automakers' SUVs and trucks performed better in the survey than their imported counterparts, with scores of 45 and 41, respectively. The study also showed that hybrids and plug-in hybrids are becoming more reliable, and have climbed the score ladder to the tops of their segments in many cases.  Consumer Reports says its study includes 17 trouble areas, including small stuff like creaks and rattles and much larger problems like drivetrain failures. The organization states that it weights each issue based on its severity to create its predicted reliability scores, with 100 being the best. A car must be in production for at least two model years to be considered for the list.

Mazda still really wants to bring diesels to America

Mon, Jul 25 2016

Mazda's Skyactiv program has delivered much of what it promised for the brand's latest crop of products, namely great fuel economy and excellent driving dynamics. However, the Skyactiv diesel engine has yet to reach our shores. It's been promised ever since the new Mazda6 showed up here for the 2014 model year. According to a new report from Automotive News, Mazda's CEO Masamichi Kogai said that the Mazda Skyactiv D diesel powertrain is still set to make an American appearance. He told Automotive News that there is an internal timeline to get it to the States, and while he didn't reveal the timeline, he said he wants it to come here before he steps down as CEO. The powertrain is offered elsewhere, so it fits in the company's current vehicles, but the US has specific regulatory hurdles, and the engine's extra cost has to make sense from a sales and volume perspective. We doubt VW's diesel scandal helped the engine's sales pitch, either. Automotive News also reports that the next generation of Skyactiv designs and engines are also on their way and will advance and improve on the current generation's strengths. Engineers revealed to Automotive News that they expect a 30 percent improvement in efficiency and are developing an engine with the sky-high compression ratio of 18:1. This impressive ratio could be a further indication of Mazda's pursuit of homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines. Mazda has had plenty of success with its strategy of making very efficient internal-combustion engines, but there are some concerns that the company can only improve so much. The main worry comes from the company's lack of investment in hybrid and electric powertrains. Even Mazda's North American CEO Masahiro Moro expressed concern about meeting a 54.5 mpg mandate for 2025. That mandate will no longer take effect, but increasing fuel economy requirements will always be an issue. Related Video:
