This is a 2003 Hyundai Accent GT which I bought five or six years ago from CarMax and has been my daily driver until about a month ago. The car is a very dependable ride but has some issues which I will detail completely in this listing. I am selling the car because I have purchased a large Lincoln to enjoy in my retirement. Kelley Blue book wholesale value on this car in fair condition is $1254 in my area (Trade-In value). The value for a private party sale is $2007. I am starting the auction at $1000 and the top bid will buy the car. The good: Air conditioning and heat work great, engine has never let me down and still runs great, gas mileage has been 30 MPG plus regardless, interior is in pretty nice shape with no tears or major damage other than some minor scratches on plastic door panels. the car has a working trailer hitch with electric plug connectors. The bad: There are numerous little dents and scratches on the exterior of the car (I bought it that way). The tires are okay for now, but it will need 2 tires replaced very soon. The radio seems to turn on by itself when the car hits a bump. The front and rear left turn signal stays on at night and does not blink. This turn signal works fine when the headlights are not on. The dash light behind the speedometer does not normally work, but it blinks on sometimes. The dash light for the odometer works fine. The driver's side electric window works fine, but it is noisy and probably needs a new kit put into it. The paint is faded and clear coat has peeled from both rear-view mirrors (see photos). The paint has also faded on the scoop located on the back hatchback door. On occasion, I can hear a very (almost inaudible) light clicking noise when the car coasts down a hill (and only when the car coasts). I've had a mechanic listen to it and he didn't know what it was. That was about five thousand miles ago, and I have not done anything to the car since then. The sound has not gotten any worse in that time. My best guess on this issue is that it is a mechanical part of the speedometer clicking. The engine light is on, but has been since I bought the car. I had it tested a few years ago, and it is some type of sensor light. I didn't want to spend a $100 plus on a sensor relay, so the light is still on. The headlight lenses are cloudy and need refinishing to clear (buffing). I don't have to sell this car, as it is a very economical mode of transportation for me and still looks pretty good. I have been completely honest in the description and will not hold you to your purchase if the car is not exactly as I have described. It is an excellent little work car for someone that doesn't mind the small issues that it has.
