    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.

This is for future Genesis owner.

ok guys, about 2 years ago, I purchased a High mileage V8 genesis with 90k miles on it (before you call me stupid) with a 50k HPP warranty and a 60k maintenance plan. So far the car has been quiet reliable the things that were broken are:

-Alternator died at 99k (I expect it to go out around this mileage)
-the seat adjustment need to be replace at 105k (it was working but was crapping out, so I decided to replace it)

The car is now at 117k and still running strong, the V8 is smooth no weird noise that I can hear, the Lexicon system is just to die for, I am somewhat of an audio enthusiast (I own a Mr.speaker Alpha Dog and a Westone W40 for traveling both are not your typical walmart headset) the insulation and sound deadening is still good, no creaks or squeaks yet.

Originally I was just buying this car for hawaii and then sell it when I leave the island, However I love the car so much as a daily drive, I am planning to keep it as a beater and buy a C7 corvette or a CTS-V Hennessey package for my weekend car. Any question please ask :)

Before you buy anything else I suggest you look at the 2015 Genesis.

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to see what the condition is at this time as I resurrect this old thread
