Clear Title (this is not a salvage vehicle)
The Good:
This really was my grandmother’s car so the miles are original. She gave it to us several years ago with only 35,000 miles on it. We’ve had it several years and it now has 65,000 original miles. The vehicle runs well, has good tires, a good battery, good heat, cold AC, and has not given us problems. The oil has been changed every 5,000 miles so there is no reason to think it will not continue to run well. Timing belt was changed at 40,000 miles. No leaks.
The Bad:
This vehicle is 12 years old and is showing its age. It has dings, scrapes (most of which I’ve tried to show in the pics), and squeaks. The driver side door was backed into and is dented. However, this does not affect the function of the door—it opens and closes without a problem. Additionally, the air bag light just came on in the last few weeks and stays on (I’m not sure what that means). The power windows work but they tend to go up slowly and one of the rear ones is really slow (sign of age). The driver side seatbelt also does not like to recoil all the way back in but still functions properly.
The point in giving this detailed information is not only so you will be able to make a properly informed decision but also to make sure you realize this is not a perfect car. However, if you are looking for a reliable run-around car then this may be what you are looking for. Check out my feedback rating and bid with confidence!
Terms:
You are welcome to come and inspect the car. I live in Avon Lake, OH (about 20 miles west of Cleveland). However, if you bid on the vehicle, then you are responsible for that bid. Non-paying bidders will be reported to ebay.
A $200 deposit is due through Paypal within 48 hours of the auction close. Arrangements to have the vehicle picked up should be completed with 7 days after the close of the auction with balance due at pickup. The balance can be paid by cash or cashier’s check (no personal checks).
Reasonable offers will be considered at any time up until the auction close.

Kia previews next-gen infotainment systems at CES
Tue, 07 Jan 2014While improving its quality, appeal and market share in recent years, Kia has made tremendous strides in transportation technology as well, and aims to further that at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas with new telematics and infotainment systems.
Among the new tech Kia will be displaying at CES this year will be several future advancements to its UVO system. The User-Centered Driver (UCD) concept centers around a widescreen head-up display that projects vital data such as speed, navigation directions and traffic information across 18 inches above the instrument cluster, joined by a 12.3-inch TFT display that presents the information in a 3D view, wireless mobile charging and hand-gesture recognition.
The In-Vehicle Information (IVI) concept uses a multi-display system (based around a 20-inch multi-touch center-console display) that synchronizes with a tablet or smartphone to interface with the concierge service, social networking, parking assist and smart radio functions. The system also enables vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication and HD wireless connectivity.
2014 Kia Soul gets new 'Totally Transformed' hamster commercial
Fri, 23 Aug 2013The lovable, anthropomorphic hamsters from Kia are known for electronic dance music, head bopping, and of course, a certain funktastic Korean box-on-wheels. With a new Soul on the way, the adorable rodents need to be ready to appear alongside the resculpted crossover. Only one thing could get them ready in time - cue the training montage.
The commercial, called Totally Transformed, features Lady Gaga playing in the background, along with gratuitous footage of the hamsters shedding some weight. The Kia designers also get some attention, as they're hard at work designing the hamsters' new ride. Take a look below for the full, 91-second spot.
Kia's brand perception still painfully lags behind reality
Sat, 11 Oct 2014I can't tell you how many times I've been driving with friends or family in a decidedly nice Korean press car, only to have a passenger notice the logo on the steering wheel and exclaim, "Wait... this is a Kia?" For every time I roll my eyes at a story with a lede about how Hyundai "is really gaining momentum these days," I get equally annoyed when people comment on how Kia is finally starting to make decent cars. This is hardly news. The brand has been pumping out really solid stuff for a while now.
But as it turns out, not everyone knows that. According to Ward's Auto, speaking to Kia marketing chief Michael Sprague, the automaker recently placed third-to-last in a recent ALG Brand Perception of Quality study, only besting Suzuki and Smart. Wow.
Ward's notes that Kia recently earned a credible sixth place in J.D. Power & Associates' Initial Quality Study, and yet still fell way behind pretty much every other brand in the ALG study. The Korean automaker's cars have also won numerous awards in recent years, and have generally earned positive reviews from the media, Autoblog included.
