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.

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.

Hyundai Genesis V8 HTRAC may come with performance orientation

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

When the second-generation Hyundai Genesis arrives in dealers, customers looking for the new all-wheel-drive variant will need to settle for the 3.8-liter V6. This is no bad thing, as the V6 is a sound engine, but what if you want that brawny, 429-horsepower, 5.0-liter V8? For now, you're stuck spinning the rear wheels.
A report from AutoGuide, though, claims that the new HTRAC all-wheel-drive system could be mated up to the Genny Sedan's optional V8 engine at a later date, as part of a new performance version. According to spokesman Miles Johnson, a performance-minded Genesis, perhaps in the same vein as the first-generation R-Spec, is being looked at by the powers that be at Hyundai and that there "may be a market demand for such a model."
Whether it'd add on to the V8's 429 ponies, or simply shore up other parts of the car while adding the AWD system remains to be seen. Of course, if we hear any more on an AWD, V8-powered, performance version of the new Genesis Sedan, we'll be sure to let you know.

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo: February 2013

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

I just couldn't bring myself to lead this post with the image you see on the right. The winter months have not been kind to our matte gray 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo, and since you can't just run the thing through your local car wash, our oddly shaped little hatchback has spent more days dirty than clean. It breaks my fleet manager heart to see one of our test cars covered in schmutz so frequently, but let's be honest - the last thing anyone wants to do when it's 12 degrees Fahrenheit outside is play with a hose and spend a good amount of time hand-washing a car.
Moral of the story: If you live in a cold-weather state where you expect to get regular doses of the white stuff, matte paint probably isn't for you. Not to worry, though, as the Veloster Turbo is offered in plenty of pretty, car wash-friendly colors.
We'll have a lot more to talk about regarding the Veloster's cleanability in forthcoming updates, and we're even planning a trip to the Dr. Beasley's office - the company that created the special matte paint detailing kit for the Hyundai - to have their experts show us how it's done. For now, let's spend some time talking about what we've learned about the turbocharged hatch during its honeymoon phase here in the Autoblog Garage.
