  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

It pains me to say that I think the time has come for my 2012 Genesis 5.0 R spec to be set out to pasture. I owe a huge thank you to all of y’all on this site because with yawls posts, I was able to do tons of maintenance and repairs on this car and keep it on the road in the fire breathing condition she was destined to be. Unfortunately, 180K and an eight speed sealed transmission has proven to be a little above my pay grade, and while I would love to buy a used one and replace it, this stage of my life really requires a truck. Just figured I’d post it here in case anyone wants a parts car, I’ve gotten an offer for 1500 from a company who will pick it up and tow it; that’s the best I’ve gotten. I would much prefer to see her used as an organ donor to keep this small club on the road, but in my efforts to be an adult I feel it is wise to take the highest offer to put towards this future pick up. Very much willing to trade, even if the pick up is in less than showroom condition. This is my first post and my first rodeo in this arena, any questions please feel free to reach out. If you want to see any specific photos, just say the word and thanks again to all you do have kept this page alive and made my time owning a genesis exceedingly rewarding.
Much obliged, merry Christmas, and vaya con Dios,

barrett, grateful genesis alumni
