Up for auction is a 2004 Hyundai Elantra GT with 5-speed manual transmission. I am the first and only owner and have been using this vehicle for commuting. The car needs some new parts. I just bought the new 2013 Elantra GT and I am letting this car go.


The condition of the vehicle is very clean inside with minor blemishes to the interior plastic and leather upholstery (as shown in the pictures). There is some minor discolorations in the driver seat. There is an ink stain in the seat behind the driver's seat, courtesy of my daughter. There are stains on the carpeted florr mats though nothing too egregious. The car is equipped with a JVC CD / MP3 player with front auxillary input that can be used to connect an iPod/iPhone or the likes. The CD player also accepts a USB flash drive and can play MP3/VMW format files. Comes with the user manual and a remote as shown in the pictures. 

On the outside, the car has a great deal of scratches consistent with the age of the car. I tried to show the most important scratches in the pictures. There is a small depression on the back close to the rear hatch lock. The car has developed some rust at the bottom edge of the right rear stop light two years ago. I stripped the paint down to the bare metal, used a body filler to repair the rusty spots and re-painted the portion of the hatchback door around the plate. You can see that I did not do a perfect job with the body filler. There is a couple of spots showing a little rust here and there that needs fixing. Nothing big. A piece of the plastic covering the grille has broken off. 

Here are the items that need to be fixed / replaced:

1. All four wheels need to be replaced ASAP. There is not teeth left on the wheels. 
2. The flex pipe is leaking exhaust. The flex pipe needs to replaced. The entire flex pipe and the rear catalytic converted assembly is about $150 on eBay.

Issues:
1. The up/down switch for the driver side power window is intermittent. It sometimes take a couple of presses to operate the window. All other power windows/switches are fine.
2. The passenger side map light button does not stay pressed.
3. The cover for the front visor mirror is broken.
4. The rotary fan switch is intermittent at position 4. You need to keep it somewhere in between 3-4 to set the fan speed to 4. 
5. The steering wheel shakes at highway speeds past 65Miles. I am told that this is a balancing issue by a local mechanic. 
6. The part securing the passenger side fog light has rusted off. The fog light is out of its socket. The other fog light is cloudy.

Maintenance:

The car has been maintained well following the maintenance schedule provided with the owner's manual (included). Most of the maintenance is done by the original dealer that I bough the card from. I did some minor maintenance items in later years. 

1. Clutch has been replaced at 88K miles. The clutch is in pretty good shape at this point.
2. The radiator and all hoses has been replaced at 112K miles.
3. The timing belt has been replaced at 55K and 115K. The timing belt in this vehicle needs to be replaced at 60K intervals. So you need to replace the timing belt in 20K miles.
4. The alternator belt has been replaced very recently.
5. Front oxygen sensor has been replaced at 110Kmiles.
6. Brakes were replaced at 100Kmiles.

2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport

Thu, 18 Apr 2013

The Crossover For The Kardashians Of 1895
My wife and I are holdouts among our friends and family in the offspring department. Our heir-free lifestyle, however, affords us the opportunity to travel this great land, and road trips are our favorite. So while I'm unqualified to remark on how well the new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport will swallow an infant son and stroller, I can pass judgment on this two-row crossover's talents for carrying people and cargo over great distances.
The lady and I recently drove a new 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport to one of this country's national treasures: the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, North Carolina. The Biltmore was built between 1889 and 1895 by George Vanderbuilt, grandson of Cornelius Vanderbuilt who was one of this country's earliest captains of industry. Despite the Biltmore being the largest privately owned home in the United States, which it remains to this day with a footprint of 178,926 square feet, George and his wife, Edith, only ever had one child. A family of two parents plus one child would have made the Vanderbuilts exactly the type of people Hyundai hopes to attract with this two-row Santa Fe Sport - George's eldest brother, Cornelius II, had seven children and would've had better luck fitting his brood in the larger three-row Santa Fe (sans the "Sport" suffix).

Mr. Millen goes to Washington

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

Ever driven around DC? We have. And let us tell you, people drive like jerks in the nation's capital. Mostly because they think they're more important than you, and they're probably right. But Rhys Millen is out to put them all to shame.
In this latest video, the guy who Red Bull refers to as a "precision driver" (and who the rest of us would call one of the best drifters ever to burn rubber) takes to the streets of the District in his Hyundai Veloster Turbo. There he does what he does best around sites like Capitol Hill, Thomas Circle and RFK Stadium - the one-time home of the Washington Redskins and Montreal Expos (pardon us, "Washington Nationals") - all with a police escort of black Tahoes and Harley outriders. Scope out the action in the video below.

WRC driver fills radiator with beer from sponsor Corona

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

Rallying requires lightning quick reflexes and the ability to turn off one's sense of self-preservation. This much is not in doubt. Anyone that's ever seen a rally car hurtle along a tree-lined spit of dirt road at high speeds could tell you that. What many people don't know is that it also requires a strong mechanical sense. Knowing how to repair one's car when far from the service garages is a must. A strong sense of ingenuity is pretty handy, as well.
It was that sense of ingenuity that came to the aid of Thierry Neuville (shown above during last weekend's Rally Mexico), a WRC driver for the Hyundai Motorsport team, after his i20 suffered a radiator leak during the drive back to service. Neuville and his co-driver, Nicolas Gilsoul, hopped out of the car, assessed the issue and realized they needed to patch the radiator leak and refill the coolant, which they were fresh out of. So, instead, they used beer.
The pair had been awarded a magnum-sized bottle of Corona from the Rally Mexico's corporate sponsor after the final power stage. As Neuville doesn't drink, they tossed the beer in the back of the i20 and set off for the garages. It was a good thing they did, as adding the Mexican lager to the car's system allowed them to limp back to service.
