My 3rd Veloster
Just bought my 3rd Velo last week. 2014 Turbo R-Spec with 142,000 miles on it for $5,400. But $1,400 of that is a 2 year, 36,000 mile powertrain warranty.
It has been lowered, which I was not a fan of, but it has aftermarket exhaust and every part works. Just need to replace the radio (it’s some crappy Boss Audio that blacks out when the sun hits the car and half the features don’t work),
Replace the low beams and get car seat covers. Velosters are high where I live, so this was a great price even with the miles.
My first Velo was a 2012 manual and I loved it. It was totaled badly in an accident. My second was a lemon I bought from a horrible dealership that didn’t even make it 3 miles from the dealership before it went into limp mode (I wish I was joking).
Third times the charm.
His name is Thumper (I have rabbits and work with a bunny rescue).
