  • 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.

The lease on my '15 Hyundai Genesis Ultimate sedan will be ending soon, and I'm thinking of buying a '14 or '15 Equus or K900 to replace it.

They are both very nice cars, and they're both selling for similar money at this point.

OK, I know the people on this forum will be just a little biased, but what are your thoughts? Do you know of any advantages of one over the other? Did you look at the K900 before you bought or leased your Equus?

I'm actually leaning towards a '15 Equus Ultimate at this point; I know it's ridiculous, but I really don't like the chrome doohicky that Kia put on the flanks of the 1st generation K900, but if there's a rational reason to get the Kia over the Hyundai, I can overlook that.

I've been spoiled by the Genny, and I've got to have active cruise control and a HUD, which only comes on the Ultimate Equus.

What I'd really like to do is lease a new '19 K900, but I don't think I could swing that financially, what with being newly retired and with 2 kids getting ready to go to college.

I love the car I have now, and I have contemplated buying it, but the residual value at lease end is crazy expensive. I suppose I could buy another '15 or '16 Genesis, but, eh... been there, done that.

I got a helluva deal on my lease 3 years ago: $3k down and $334 per month. For a $52000 new car!

And of course I'd like to get a similar killer deal on its replacement.
