Hyundai Tucson that refuses to die and handles winter like a sasquatch in snowshoes.

2012 Hyundai Tucson GL Sport Utility
2.4L I4 , AWD, Country of Assembly: Korea (South)
Mileage: 130,814 km
Location: Charlottetown
Inspection: Good until end of August 2025: act now while she’s still legal!

Features & Charming Quirks
All-Wheel Drive: Clings to icy roads like gossip in a small town.
Brakes: Rear is ok. Fronts... Technically there. Spiritually? Not so much. You’ll want a brake job ASAP unless you enjoy Flintstone stops.
Trailer Hitch: Installed and tested... just ask the dent in the hatchback.
Check Engine Light: Currently illuminated, but don’t worry I just replaced the manifold (big bucks), and the mechanic said the engine is fine. So we’re calling that light “decorative” for now.
Gas Door: Doesn’t open the normal way. You’ll need a credit card, a steady hand, and the patience of someone disarming a Bond villain’s laser trap.
Starting Ritual: Key in, turn, nothing. Jiggle the gear stick like it owes you money. Starts right up.
Dent in Hatchback: A decade-old souvenir from a trailer that decided it wanted independence. Hasn't gotten worse. Surface rust only. Call it "character."
Interior: Black Seats. Black Dashboard. Bonuses: Air conditioning , Bluetooth, Heated seats, CD player, Radio, Cruise control.
Tires: Four. All-Season, Round. Full of air. That’s the dream.
Extensive Recent Repairs – The Comeback Saga
This Tucson has seen more action in the garage than a sasquatch in a YouTube conspiracy doc. But hey, it’s standing proud with a full mechanical glow-up. Here's what’s been done in the last 18 months:
• Replaced left rear brake caliper
• Diagnosed check engine light, replaced sensor, reset computer (still on…)
• Replaced exhaust manifold after it gave up on life
• Replaced front exhaust pipe
• Replaced front lower control arm assemblies on both sides
• Tackled alignment & suspension issues like a champ
Grand Total in Repairs: $5,681.53
That’s right — you’re buying a car that’s basically been kept alive by love, labour, and the loyalty card at Canadian Tire. Records of this mechanical work come with the car.


❤️ Why You’ll Love This Black Beauty
All-wheel drive for snow, mud, and light wilderness sasquatch chases
Great conversation starter (especially the gas door)
Over $5K in recent repairs — it’s basically half new
It's a Hyundai Tucson. It's not a unicorn, but it also won’t vanish when you're late for work.
Way cheaper than anything else with this much wrench-time invested
This isn't just a car. It’s a gritty, heartfelt memoir on wheels. It’s been places. It’s survived things. It has a trailer hitch and the emotional baggage to prove it. If you’re looking for sterile and boring, this ain't it. But if you want an AWD warrior with personality, patina, and the soul of a 10-season Netflix drama — come meet her.
Price: $5,681.53 OBO — or whatever you have that sparks joy and isn’t a raccoon.
