Previously had a
Stinger GT1 w/ Tech, which I'd picked up for $46k in early 2018, which was totaled in a bad accident.
Moving over to Genesis, I was able to pick up a 2019
G70 3.3 Sport RWD -
Santiago Silver for
$43,000 drive out,
including Texas Tax and fees (about $2.6K). Pre-tax amount was about $40K after some "non-removable" dealer addons were added. Sticker price was $50,770.
This month (December) Lease Cash is the same as Balloon Cash incentives, which is $4750 for a 2019 3.3 G70.
This can be combined with $1K incentive on 2019 model, bringing
total manufacturer incentives on the 2019 3.3 to $5750.
this amount excludes the competitive incentive ($1K) or First Responder discount that can be combined (I didn't qualify for either)
I opted to do the balloon finance option, which warrants it's own thread as there's not much info here whereas the
Stinger forum has lots more info
(I didn't do this when I picked up my Stinger, missing out on large manufacturer cash incentives). I went with baloon finance with the intention to purchase the car outright; it's also required in TX to avoid double taxation vs traditional lease.
I discovered a method to get
Circle A pricing & used it to begin dealer price negotitations
(it can be combined with the manufacturer incentives). This levels the playing field across all dealers, eliminating a lot of dealer markup BS. Then it's minor negotiations to get to a good number that all parties can agree to.
- Important note: dealers will not discount below Circle A pricing, if you try to use the certificate due to restrictions from Hyundai and how they're compensated -- you need to try and get a dealer to match and beat Circle A pricing with a dealer discount, where they have more flexibility
In addition to the above I also purchased
GPP - Genesis Protection Plan. There's not much info on this plan and extended warranty from Genesis either and I can make a thread on everything I've learned during my research, if there's interest.
- 10yr / 120K miles "bumper to bumper" coverage from Genesis -- with $0 deductible for~$2.7K ontop of the price above.
Overall, I'm happy I was able to get a fully loaded G70 + extended warranty from Genesis for less than what I paid for my
Stinger. There's clearly many shared tech features from the
Stinger, but it's a more luxurious feel in the G70, with greater attention to details.
