Looking at an R Spec

[BeautifulMonster]

Hey all
I found a 2014 R Spec about 3 hours away from me. I'm looking to trade in my small Audi and would like your input as far as overall maintenance and character of the 5.0 vs the v6
I know about the bearing issues on the 2012 models and have test drove a 2013 r spec. It's just a far drive lol

No actual pictures of vehicle? I'd pass just on that.
What service records do they have on the vehicle?

I was under the impression that it just got on their lot.
And they can provide a carmax but I know people have ways around reporting things.

Take the VIN to your local Hyundai service writer and ask for a detailed service history report. If they won't do it, or it's blank or has big gaps (not serviced w/ Hyundai), don't buy the car. At 67k it's out of factory BTB warranty so Hyundai backed HPP warranty is not an option. So you'll be on the hook for repairs unless you get an aftermarket 3rd party warranty. 2014 Rspecs were generally reliable. But be informed that there is nearly zero aftermarket parts supply on these cars outside of Ebay and Copart, and unless you're really good with tools you'll be sourcing parts and servicie it at a Hyundai dealership, which is not small $$$.

These cars offer a lot of features and are a fantastic value for money (I've purchased two used). But they are not small wallet cars when it comes to repair.

See. That's the issue I'm having with my Audi. She breaks a lot and I barely drive her. It's no longer worth fixing again if anything breaks ya know?
I'd like to daily the genesis though.

A late 15 or early 16 might be a good option if you’re willing to spend more up front cash. You enjoy a newer car with 2 years left on the B2B warranty and are eligible for HPP if you want to keep it longer.
