HISTORY & DESCRIPTION

You are looking at a beautiful 2012 Hyundai Veloster sportback in excellent condition loaded with plenty of extra features and options which you can see above, including the "Style Package", the upgraded "Dimension" stereo system (with built-in amp) and all-glass panoramic sunroof. This car is a Florida car which has been very well-kept. I am the 2nd owner of this car and it has been my daily driver for about 15 months. I've never experienced any issues or problems with this car whatsoever. I purchased it certified pre-owned at the very same dealership it was purchased at new by the original owner, and as such I do have some knowledge of the car's history prior to my ownership. The original owner was a doctor who purchased the car sometime in early 2012, and only owned it for around 7 months before trading it back in on something newer & bigger. I've been told that she used the car to travel back and forth from Florida to Texas on a weekly basis, which makes sense being that when I purchased it in December of 2012 the car already had a little over 15,000 miles on it. However, keep in mind that at least 80% of those are highway miles, which any good mechanic or car guru will tell you only account for about a third as much wear and tear on a car than city miles do. During the 15 months I have owned the car, I have put about 17,000 miles on it myself, again being mostly highway miles as I regularly drive back and forth between Florida and Louisiana. This car has ridiculously good gas mileage for a sporty type of car - 30mpg on the highway and 25 in the city - which is one of the main reasons I purchased it to begin with.

It has undergone all regularly-scheduled maintenance, repairs, recall and warranty work at the same dealership that both I and the previous owner purchased it at. As recently as last week it was taken in for scheduled recall & warranty work, all of which was completed without issue. The vehicle also received 2 brand new Kumho tires in the process (which match the 2 older but still in excellent shape Kumho tires not replaced). This vehicle has never been smoked in under my watch, and as far as I can tell was a non-smoker under the original owner as well.

I really really hate having to get rid of this car, as it has been by far the most reliable, fun and luxurious vehicle I've ever owned. It is fast, nimble and excels at fighting through heavy traffic. Though it is not the turbo model, it could be very easily upgraded with an aftermarket turbo as there is ample space inside the engine compartment to allow for such an installation. Other than a small amount of normal wear and tear (glossy finish on steering wheel is wearing off, a little scraping damage around the edges of a couple rims), there is absolutely nothing wrong with this vehicle whatsoever. For 15 months it has been my baby, but unfortunately a combination of work and health-related factors are now forcing me to sell it, despite numerous efforts I've made thus far to be able to keep it. I can only hope at this point that it goes to someone who will enjoy it as much as I have, because it is a really awesome car that I'm sure will be fun for anyone to drive.

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have. Thanks for looking, and happy bidding!! 

WARRANTY

This vehicle is being sold "as-is" without any type of warranty from myself - HOWEVER - there are several factory warranties that exist for this car, the vast majority of which have not expired and will transfer automatically to you, the new owner, as soon as payment is received and the title transferred over to your name. You can find out all of the warranty details yourself by clicking this link. Buyer assumes all responsibility for obtaining warranty info/details/obligations after listing is completed.

PAYMENT

Winning bidder must contact me within 24 hours of auction end, and make arrangements for payment at that time (Paypal is HIGHLY preferred). A $500.00 deposit is due within 24 hours of end of auction or risk a no-sale default. Deposits are NON-REFUNDABLE. The remainder is due in full within 3 days of auction end. If no contact is made within 24 hours I reserve the right to re-list the vehicle, sell it to the next high bidder, or sell it otherwise. Please do not bid on this auction unless you are serious about owning this vehicle. All non-paying high bidders will be reported to eBay, and negative feedback will be posted.

SHIPPING

Will deliver free of charge to any location within 100 miles of Pensacola, FL. For any location within 100-300 miles of Pensacola, I will deliver for a $200 fee. Otherwise, buyer assumes all responsibility for shipping, including any and all associated costs/fees/expenses and travel arrangments. This includes shipping insurance. Keep in mind this vehicle is being sold out of Northwest Florida, so if you live in Alaska, Seattle, Maine or anywhere else thousands of miles away , be prepared to pay a decent amount of $$ associated with getting this vehicle to your front door.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Reader Spy: 2012 Hyundai Accent hatchback caught napping

Mon, 05 Jul 2010

2012 Hyundai Accent hatchback - Click above for high-res image gallery
Eagle-eyed Autoblog reader James spotted a camouflaged compact hatchback sitting in a parking lot in South Korea the other day, and fortunately for us, he had a camera with him. At first glance, this is obviously a new Hyundai based on the upward sweeping crease along the side that is characteristic of Hyundai's new 'fluidic sculpture' design language.
Closer examination indicates that this is almost certainly the five-door hatchback version of the new Verna/Accent that debuted at the Beijing Motor Show in April. The wheels are the same as the ones we saw on the Verna and the side crease extends ahead of the door cut-line which differs from the Elantra that debuted a week later at the Busan show in Korea.

IED PassoCorso concept is a student-designed Hyundai we can get behind

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Sometimes the best ideas come from fresh eyes, and a group of design students from Istituto Europeo di Design - better known as IED - are out to prove that sentiment with this striking Hyundai PassoCorto concept. This two-seat thesis project of the Master of Arts in Transportation Design program for the Turin, Italy school will be officially unveiled at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show beginning March 4.
The concept is said to be 161 inches long, 74 inches wide and 45.7 inches tall. It rides on a 96.5-inch wheelbase, which makes sense since passo corto means "short wheelbase" in Italian. The engine is tipped to be a mid-mounted, twin-turbo, 1.6-liter four-cylinder pumping out 266 horsepower. Judging by these images, we think the design looks fantastic, with all those sharp lines and creases drawing to a point in the rear. It shows a wonderful balance of being wild enough to draw attention, yet it almost looks realistic enough for the road.
The styling comes from 16 IED students coordinated by Luca Borgogno, lead designer for fabled Italian design house Pininfarina. The students were given a design brief by Hyundai to create a vehicle aimed at young, connected people like them. All of the students submitted a proposal, and two were selected to be merged together in a final look. The entire class contributed to bringing the design to full scale. Scroll down to get the full scoop on the little sports car concept.
