2014 Genesis or Not

[Nikgen]

Assuming they addressed the issues, what do you think would be a fair offer?

A brand new car with a water leak? Zero $ would be my fair offer - I'd pass on inheriting that issue based on my experience with Hyundai service so far!

Go test drive a 2015 and see which one you like better first.

Superb advice. I'm betting you will wind up going with a G2.

yes if you are getting a g1 genesis, get the R spec, and I would not pay no more than 20k for the r spec, or for any g1 for that matter.

the G2 base models will probably start going for 28k in the used car market in about 3 to 6 months, so not worth paying more than 20k for any g1.

and I believe hyundai still has a a bunch of brand new 2014 g1 genesis that hasn't sold, so that cannot help resale at all.

Lol. Good luck getting that pricing on an Rspec. Salvage titled, perhaps.

I would suggest playing coy, and disinterested. Throw out a number like 23 to 24k, before you leave. Let it stew for a week...in case they come back with a counter. If they do not, you can always call them back after the week and enquire how is it going, and talk about everything but the car...Ideally you want to let them bring it up, and go from there. Think about 26 to 27 k may make sense as the final price. Also, do know that they will not have an easy time selling this anyway, so you do have leverage. Best of luck.

BTW, should a car fax indicate any title issued or not?

I am skeptical of the dealer's response on the start date of the car being placed in service and corresponding warranty. If you insist on this car, check the vin # with the state dept. of motor vehicles to make certain that it has not been previously titled.

With the asking price and current problems, I would run, not walk, from this poor car.
