So I currently have a 2010 4.6 sedan w/ tech package, got it around 90k miles from a service writer at a Hyundai dealership so I know it was maintained well, and I checked the service records myself. Within about 3 years, I have it up to 178k miles, and I am ready to get another car, either a newer Genesis (maybe, heard there were issues 2017/2018 etc.) or a Lexus (either LS or GS, yes less horsepower, unfortunately).
My question is really if getting rid of it would be any easier/harder now rather than waiting a bit for it until the fall (prices come down for buying another car) except for the fact that it'd be closer to 200k at that point. I have been on these forums a lot, and don't believe I've seen someone make it to 200k.
Has been reliable for me (for the most part), I do oil changes every 3-5k with full synthetic. At around 150k I had to do a new battery/alternator/starter (dealer couldn't make up their mind), brakes done at 100k and 165k (new pads+rotors), and at 174k the fuel pump assembly had to be replaced. Currently, it is only a few weeks since the fuel pump, and this morning my CEL came on, blinking, and as I went to pull over, it turned off. I just dropped it off today to have it fixed as I was able to make it the few miles drive, and am assuming it to be something to do with coil packs/spark plugs as it was probably a misfire, felt like that too when it occurred.
At this point, is it worth trying to make it last another 6 months or so? Or is it better to try and get rid of it asap when I get it back?
