Congrats! Love the white...

Thanks guys, I'm still looking at getting some interior shots, I want to say grey but the sticker says ivory. Whatever it is, I love it. Looking forward to getting the mud guards on and I'm thinking about adding the rear spoiler (we'll see).

I am going to look into the warranty next week, are there any recommended dealers or just take my chances on any Genesis/Hyundai dealer? Coming from the Infiniti line of cars, I'm very happy with the replacement. Over there they asked the question of what you are replacing your Infiniti with ... hehe , I have to show them the G80

It it like this? If so, that looks awesome - and I almost considered it, but we've had some issues with blue jeans rubbing off on the seats.

I went with the black interior, while outside. I would have preferred a darker grey.

So mines, must be grey, I can call the picture ivory. Mine is a perfect match to the trim. Thanks for the pic Tinsley.
I might have to steal part of your tag, "there are many like it, but this one is MINE!!" so cool.

 

[TinsleyC]

More like this? That's not as white looking. I think of ivory as almost white.

Here's a link to the 2018 configurator, it's not on their website but it still works.

Reserve your new Genesis luxury vehicle

I just created a white on grey 5.0 Ultimate and this is the interior it shows. This is killin' me - I really should have got a used 2018 5.0 instead of the new 2018 3.8. Nice car!

Do you mind me asking what you paid?

 

[dbassman]

Tinsley, you just nailed it with the configurator. Grey it is, I have to run to Office Depot right quick (give me an excuse to pull it out the garage for today)
Price ... otd ... 35k

Price ... otd ... 35k

Ugh. Paid $37.5 +TTL for a base '19, but it was new. Would rather have an '18 5.0 with 10k miles on it. The feature set between the two cars is night and day. Oh well!

We really try hard to avoid giving advice in general, but specifically about dealers around here, however, will make an exception here just for you, IMHO if there is one exceptional place for warranty and customer car, I would propose it would be Jim Ellis (Genesis/Hyundai) of Atlanta.
All of my four Gennys warranties I got from them and never regretted once!

Good luck with your research.

Quick question to the OP about your out-state-buying experience...

Did you buy the car completely online/over the phone and have it delivered to you sight unseen (besides the photos)? Or did you personally see the car and then have it shipped to you? Or did your use a pre-purchase inspection service to inspect the car before you closed the deal and then have it shipped?

I am very curious about how this worked for you and any other forum member who bought a car far from home.

I live in Los Angeles and my car came from Florida. I used Carvana. They had the best price and shipped it to my house. I got a 2018 G80 5.0. it was $31.9k with 32k. They had it in metallic Brown with beige interior. That's the combo I wanted and it was hard to find.

Carvana has alot of pictures and shows every blemish. Plus once you get the car you have 7 days and 400mi test drive. The first was I notice the wheels were peeling in a few places. They came and got the car and repaired the wheels and brought it back to me. I was wary of buying a car sight on seen but, I have had a great experience with Carvana and would go back again. Plus they didn't add any extra fees and I got my plates and registration a week after the 7 days test drive.

Good color combo. I have seen only one other brown one but it had really high miles. Nice to hear you had a good experience with Carvana.

I don't recall if there was more than one brown available in 2018. I have an '18 with Serengeti brown exterior and tan interior. I really like the body color. In the sun it really pops. It's a very deep brown, almost a combination of brown and burgundy with minute gold color metallic flakes.

I want a dark colored one with AWD, say ~30k miles. I think ~34-35k should be a fair price. Blue, Brown, or Black would do, in that order. Hard to find one though! There was a blue one for sale in Connecticut a few days ago, but I live in Cali and I can't really trust a random dealership to deliver on any promises so I had to watch that one go.

You should look on Carvana, vroom , and carmax because they ship cars. I got my 2018 Brown 5.0 for $31.9k with 32k mi from Carvana. They charge $500 to ship it to my house here in Carson,CA from Florida. They give you a 7 day 400 mile test drive. You don't like it give it back no charge. After I washed it I found the wheels had a slight peel. They took the car and refinished all the wheels and returned it with a full tank of gas. I would recommend them to anyone.

 

[Trousers]

man, that Brown color looks gooooood

 

[dbassman]

Yeah, that Brown is real nice, do be afraid to use the above sites to search for your car. I found mine via "autotrader". I personally think the salesman and I had a good working relationship. I asked for pictures and videos, videos to the point of individual rim shots. He gave me all I asked for me to make a conscience decision.

Had my first disappointment with add-ons, I just purchased mud guards from one of the recommended sites and the rears were new out the box, but the fronts look liked they just pulled them off a car and sent them to me. They were dirty ... didn't bother to clean them up. I sent a email and we had a "great" conversation. They are making it better. Looking to put them on tomorrow morning.

I've never tried it before, but I'll definitively consider it if they have one that I want.

I just bought a 2018 G80 Sport that I saw on Car Gurus, with 20K on it. Color is Siberian Ice. Really cool color, that I don't see a lot of. It has a Black interior which is also what I was looking for. I only had to drive 65 miles to go look at it, bought it on the spot.

 

[TinsleyC]

First of all ncvasile, congrats on the purchase of a great auto.

Curious, what did you pay for the car?
