Is $40,799 a good price for a new black/black 2012 R-Spec?

I recently purchased a 2012 3.8 w/premium. I ended up purchasing my current Genesis from my local dealer in Cincinnati Ohio because I wanted white/cashmere.

I did have extensive email discussions with Randy Wetzel at Bob Poynter Hyundai during my purchase experience and found him to be a straight shooter. If I couldn't get the numbers to work at my local dealer, I would have gotten the 2012 silver/black 3.8 w/premium that Randy had last September.

Now I am wishing I had purchased the R-Spec and am considereing getting out of my 3.8 and going to the R-Spec.

Forgetting whether I will like the color or whether this change makes economic sense, is $40,799 a good price for a new R-Spec? The only other charges are tax (Indiana - 7%) and title ($35). This dealership prides itself on no hidden fees, no doc prep fees etc.

So, is this a good price for an new 2012 R-Spec?

Oh yeah - if someone else wants this car go ahead and call Randy, I am just toying with the idea and it is at best 50/50 whether I will move past the considering stage of the process.

I'd say a steal!

With Hyundai assurance the trade is based on the full sticker price - so you could drive this car for 2.5 years for around $10,000. Regardless, it is a good price - and I'm assuming that includes the $1500 Hyundai owner rebate. Just look at Truecar.com.

Yes, it includes the $1500 loyalty or competitive rebate.

What is he offering you for the 2012 3.8?

Actually haven't gotten that far in the discussion. I wanted to first determine if the price of the R-Spec stand alone is a good deal. Then I need to discuss this idea with "the one who must be obeyed."

If all that lines up, I will discuss trade or will consider selling my 3.8 privately. I have been fortunate in the past in selling my used cars privately, although in this case the sales tax savings would be huge if I traded it in.

Now back to contemplating the entire deal . . .

Yes, I would definitely upgrade ASAP. After all, your 2012 Genesis is a couple months old now, and who wants to be caught driving something that ancient? It would be hard to even imagine the shame of having to drive around in a car that old.

Just in case you don't know, you can now (or will soon be able to) get a Genesis 5.0 without the R-Spec sport-tuned suspension. They are shown on the Hyundai website, but not sure when they will be available.

I admit that one of the things I like about the R-Spec is the sport-tuned suspension. I also like what the suspension does to the curb appeal of the R-Spec. It looks more aggressive because the front end is lower than the rear. The only thing I would like to see with the 3.6 is a rear-end height that was higher then the front-end height.

This isn't really buyer's remorse because I do love my 3.6!

Do you have a bored-out version of Hyundai's 3.3L?
