Hyundai Genesis 3.8 GDi V6 Auto

[Mr.Nobody]

I’ve seen one of these at a local dealer. Are they any good? I can find that one for sale in the UK. Specs seem decent and it’s a rival for a Lexus GS. Just a shame about the £725 VED.

Do it! They're cool AF!

I photod one for the smoker barge thread recently, they're holding their cash really well z probably because of the rarity and comfort.

They are reliable enough, engine especially. Auto gearbox is a traditional torque converter and doesn't seem to show any issues either. Suspension is all aluminium and the rubber wears faster due to the heavy weight, granted a problem with most luxury cars but I'd be conscious of parts availability and cost both now and in the future.

Onto that particular car as I have looked at it myself, the front bumper has been repainted or something as the lacquer is having problems, I'd be worried about a front end smash. It was last serviced in 2019 30k miles ago - I'd avoid any car that hasn't been serviced in 30k miles and almost 5 years!

It is a 9-10 year old high end luxury car, the high tax band is probably the least of your worries.

Have you made any progress OP?

That’s a shame it’s a nice car too. It maybe why it’s so cheap. I’ve tried emailing Hyundai Main Dealers for a price but i can’t seem
To get an answer

I’ve looked a a few estates but some were not that great. I’ll carry on looking.

These seem vanishingly, if predictably, rare. I've become somewhat obsessed with them, surely they will end up around 10k and be a cracking barge to keep. I'd always wanted, still do, a Lexus LS600 but these are the same money as a 2008 or so Lexus with most of the comfort and 90% less complexity!!

thats a lot of car for money, I'd imagine the front bumper laquer peel could be sorted for a few £££ to get it back mint?

It is £12,000 advertised in "another place" and price has dropped by 20% (from £15k) since it was listed 10 weeks ago.

They obviously want shot of it!

I’ve seen that. It looks a very unique car. But I can’t get an answer from Hyundai about service costs and parts etc. If you look at the MOT History it’s not the best and hasn’t been serviced in over 5 years.

in that case offer whatever the WBAC price is to take it off their hands, then service it, use it, enjoy it, and run it into the ground
