2003 Kia Optima Se Sedan 4-door 2.7l on 2040-cars
Elmwood Park, Illinois, United States
|
2003 Kia Optima SE V6 $3000.00 OBO This car is a great runner the engine and transmission is perfect. The car has 131,000 miles on it and very well can last another 100,000 miles if you take care of your vehicles. This was my wife's car, we are expecting another baby in a few months so we purchased a van for the extra seating, that is why we are selling the car. Strong runner, Heat & AC work as do the power windows and power seats, we just had replaced the high pressure power steering hose on the car. The car check engine light is on, my wife did take to autozone around 3 months ago and they told her it was a O2 sensor. The auto locks do have a issue where they engage automatically a few times when you don't want them too. You can pull the fuse and just lock and unlock the car with the key, but that is up to you. The airbag light is on, I never had that checked or cared to, most of the used cars I have owned over the years that light always seems on. The right and left sides of the rear bumper has paint peeling on each side Two tires on the car will need to be replaced, they are ok now, and you can drive on them, but they will need replacing before next winter. The car is real nice and does run well, other then what I have listed it just has normal ware & tear that you would expect from a 2003. The car in fair condition on Kelly blue book states it is worth about $3300.00 I feel it is better then in just fair condition. So that is where I came up with my price. Any other questions feel free to ask. If you are looking for a great runner that looks decent then this is the car for you. Paypal deposit of $500.00 is required Immediately after auction end, the rest of the payment is due in cash when you pick up the car within 7 days after auction end. I will take cash ONLY, so no personal checks, money orders etc.. No games & serious buyers only, I have sold a car on here before and had no problems. So I figured I would try again. I describe everything in detail and to the best of my knowledge, that is why I have 100% feedback, so you can purchase with confidence. |

Hyundai closes the books on fuel economy litigation
Wed, 25 Dec 2013Hyundai-Kia ended up with a lot of kimchi on its face in 2012 when it admitted it had mistakenly exaggerated fuel economy estimates on several 2012 and 2013 model-year offerings like the Hyundai Accent, Veloster and Elantra and Kia Soul. Before the admission a lawsuit had been filed by an entity called Consumer Watchdog, afterward there were "approximately 53" lawsuits filed in federal court that were eventually consolidated into one case in a California Central District court.
The companies apologized profusely and gave customers prepaid gas cards that they could refill with funds for as long as they own their vehicle, as well as perks like free car washes and routine maintenance services. The company has just announced that it has reached a preliminary settlement of the case by adding another method of reimbursement, a lump sum payment that would free drivers from having to go back to the dealership to have their mileage verified for debit card refills.
Assuming the preliminary agreement is approved by the judge, customers could choose the lump sum or the cards. The settlement's value could be as much as $210 million, but the exact number depends on which program plaintiffs choose. On average, affected customers will receive $353. Approval could come in "early 2014," after which Hyundai will notify customers. You'll find more particulars on the potential settlement in the press release below.
Why BMWs are cheaper than Hyundais in Korea
Sat, 18 May 2013Bloomberg reports shifting tariff regulations have upended the traditional automotive pecking order in Korea. Thanks to cheaper import taxes, foreign brands have seen market share jump from 28 percent to 41 percent over the last two years. BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi have all capitalized on the shift, with domestics like Hyundai and Kia suffering at the hands of their German rivals.
Taxes on European imports have fallen from 8 percent in 2011 to just 3.2 percent today. Over the next few years, tariffs will all but be eliminated for most imports, and taxes on US-made vehicles are expected to fall to just 4 percent in 2014. By 2016, that number will be zero. Needless to say, Hyundai and Kia are concerned about the shift.
Hyundai has seen profit fall by 15 percent last quarter, and the company says it is on pace to see the slowest sales growth since 2007. The company's shares have fallen by 12 percent. In order to stem the losses, Hyundai has discounted its midsize sedans and started working on diesel engine options.
Kia Sorento spotted high-altitude testing after 'Ring run
Mon, 07 Jul 2014Some models stick around the market longer than others. The Kia Sorento, for example, lasted for a good eight years in its first iteration, and the second-generation model has been around for five years now. Sure, it had a facelift a couple of years ago, but if it's going to make it in the highly competitive midsize crossover market, Kia is going to have to do better than that.
And that appears to be just what it has in store. Following the previous spy shots we brought you from the Nürburgring the better part of a year ago, the next-generation Sorento has now been spotted shlepping a trailer up a mountain.
Expected to debut as soon as the Paris Motor Show in October, the third-generation Kia Sorento appears to have grown longer in order to better accommodate third-row passengers. You can also expect the latest technologies on board and maybe, just maybe, a plug-in hybrid powertain option. Watch this space for more and scope out the spy shots in the gallery above for a closer look.
