Price to Maintain?

[BoardGameBuddha]

Hi gang,

I am currently Test Driving 2015 3.8 Sedans, I am wondering if they are expensive to maintain or if parts are fairly easy to get and not Wallet Munchers?

Thanks!

As I mentioned in your other thread, these cars are expensive to repair. Which is true of any car that sells for what these do new. The higher the new price, the higher the repairs. My goal as a shopper would be to find a Certified Pre-Owned at a Hyundai dealer and spring for the CPO Wrap extended warranty from Hyundai (not a third party warranty). If the dealer doesn't sell the Hyundai warranty, others do. Just have to call around. That's what I did. 10 years/100K miles of relative peace of mind if something goes wrong with it. And the 2015's can indeed have some electrical issues. Any newly introduced design/re-design (like the 2015 Tahoe, which can be a nightmare of problems) can be cause for concern. Not to scare you off or anything...

Maintaining and repairing are 2 different things.


Maintenance things like oil and other fluid changes, brakes, etc. are comparable to other vehicle in the same price range. $50-$75 for oil $300-$600 for brakes depending on where you go and what parts you use.


Repair things, that as state above is expensive, all modern cars are rolling computers with vast amounts of electronics and other things that can and do have issues and their replacement parts are very expensive. As an example the rear bumper cover with the BSM, Parking sensors, camera etc, fully replaced is nearly $5000. Of course the various parts can be replaced (mostly) individually, but not always, and most of these systems require special tech tools to calibrate or program.

To soon to tell since many of the cars are repaired out of warranty. However, the parts are fairly cheap online considered that this car(2015+) is only a few years old. The price of parts usually get cheaper as the car ages. Dealer sourced oil filters are cheap($7) in my area. The car uses standard engine oil and gear oil, however transmission fluid is a bit costly($10 a quart or more) like any other luxury car.

I personally have cheaply repaired some interior parts that was worn like the gear shifter indicator trim(bubbled window) and shift knob(peeling chrome). The shift knob was $30 new, and the perfect looking shift indicator trim was about $40 used on eBay.

Aftermarket brake pads and rotors are priced fairly cheap for a luxury car with large brakes.

The car seem fairly easy to maintain for a luxury car overall.

The most expense wear parts of the Genesis seems to be the active suspension shocks which are $500 each from the dealer new. There are no aftermarket replacements for them yet. Also, the seats are expensive to replace as well at about $1000 each.

Not as expensive as MB, BMW or Audi. The more expensive the car the higher the repair costs. Think Ferrari oil change for $3,000

Yeah... Being an Ultimate owner I'm kind of worried about the shocks. Hopefully someone will come up with a solution that's cheaper... Like they did with the mid 2000's E-class, which substituted conventional shocks for the Airmatic and included a circuit box to tell the ECU that everything was normal.

Some of Ultimates had probs with the head unit but mine was switched out by the previous owner under warranty early on... those can run about 3k

In about 30,000 miles so far from new, I have only had oil changes, tire rotations, and filters on my 3.8 Ultimate. For maintenance so far, it is much cheaper than my prior car (Lexus GS 350 F Sport.) I would recommend what is mentioned above,...look into a certified pre owned vehicle from a Hyundai dealer. It would be worth it to have peace of mind in case the car has any issues.

As far as repairs, I had 2 rear door handles within a month of each other snap off due to some defect. The handle broke off both the driver side and passenger side rear doors. They quickly repaired and replaced them under warranty.

Oil change, state inspection, and tire rotation $73.16

I anticipated that the V8 will be considerably more expensive than the V6, seeing as only two cars have the V8. I've not been able to find an independent mechanic in the DFW area that is cheaper than the dealer.

Prices will vary by dealer, shouldn’t be more than $2,000. And there is usually a lot of room to negotiate the price as it is pure profit for the dealer.

The Hyundai CPO Warranty I believe covers everything the 10/100k for new owners does.

Here is some info:

I had several calls with many dealers and Hyundai corporate while doing the same research. The Platinum CPO Wrap is what's called an "exclusionary warranty". It covers pretty much (I hate talking in generalities but it works here) everything but normal wear and consumable items. I went and got the copy of mine and took a snip of the important part which I'll attach here (the exclusions). Your recent posts since you joined show that you're doing your research and I applaud you for that.

Two weeks ago when I got my 2015 5.0 with 24706 miles, I paid $1671 plus whatever state tax is. I called MANY dealers and this was the lowest I could find who would also sell to me even though I purchased the car from another dealer. Feel free to PM me if you want the place and name of the person I worked with.



Line 16 only refers to aftermarket parts but I included it just in case. Also of note; the warranty goes into affect immediately when you purchase it and needs to be done very close to the time of purchase. They will also need a copy of the CPO checklist the dealer you bought from will supply you with (if you indeed got a CPO). No warranty through Hyundai if you don't get a CPO.

You're more than welcome. Just remember, dealers will "talk around" the fact that they're selling you a third party contract as a warranty. Tell them you want to see it and make sure it's a Hyundai contract. There's reports of decent third party warranties out there, but my opinion is don't trust them. Now go out there and find you a CPO Genesis. This is an amazingly enjoyable car. I now have one and my wife has had three. Take either an extended test drive or a few different drives and buy the one that says, "I'm the one you want". When it speaks to you, there won't be any doubt or need to ask anyone else.

Bourbon, This is a Hyundai Dealership that is selling the Genesis, I Testdrove it and it was BUTTER! I was so excited, got back to salesman's Desk then he pulled out the Carfax on me and told me about the accident, this is Reflected in the price of 22900.00 he said with 58K KM on her.
