Excel gear lever problems
It sounds like a problem with the gearshift itself, and may have been caused by wear. If that's the case it should be a reasonably simple, inexpensive repair.

Burning issue
IT DOESN'T sound as if your Hyundai is burning oil, so I would be looking for a leak that is allowing oil to connect with the exhaust manifold or part of the exhaust system. If you can't see any leak, perhaps have the engine steam cleaned and then watch carefully for a few days to see if you can identify the leak source.

Suit young buyer
THE X3 Excel is a good little car that is popular with young drivers. Yours has done relatively few kilometres and, with auto and air, should be popular and easy to sell. A dealership would give you about $4200 as a trade-in and expect to get about $6500 when it sells it through its yard. I would aim for the latter if you sell it privately.

Best to change belts
THE recommended service interval for the belt is 100,000km, but remember that it is set at a conservative figure to cover the whole population. A belt might run without a problem for the sort of distance yours has, but chances are it won't and the consequences of it breaking are too dire to think about. Even if your belt has stretched just a little, that can lead to it jumping teeth, which can also be a disaster.
