  • 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.

I am happy to join the growing Genesis Sedan community with my lease of a blue 2012 Genesis Sedan 3.8 w/ Premium. After I test drove the Genesis, I decided to get out of my Infiniti G35X lease 10 months early. Amazing car! I received the Hyundai circle pricing and $1500 competitive rebate to make the payment very competitive. Big thanks to the posters on this forum for pricing info!

While the car is top notch, the dealership I went to, Boucher Hyundai in Waukesha, WI, leaves a little to be desired in comparison to my experience at the Infiniti (and before that Audi) dealerships. The sales person was nice but had little product knowledge. The negotiating experience was less straight forward than I prefer. And the delivery was a joke - they opened the manuals to several pages and read them too me. No hands on with my new car!

This used to be a combined Chevrolet/Hyundai dealership that only recently separated into a stand alone Hyundai, and it shows. The sales people and management are not used to dealing with $40,000 + vehicles and lease customers! I can't see an Equus customer buying from them! But regardless of the dealership, my impression of the Genesis 3.8 so far is awesome. :)

Did you traded in your G35x? If not, did you just paid off those remaining 10 months? I'm in a same boat thus my interest. I have M35 and my residual is very low, so I'm thinking to trade it in, and may be make a few bucks if I can negotiate a good price.
 
@bman3333 - Congrats on the new ride. The dealerships' lack of product knowledge amazed me. When I started shopping for mine, I shopped at 4 dealerships around OKC - Not one time did I come across a person that new more about the car than I did.

Things are improving, but still shocking at times.

I traded in my car. Check your lease buyout price at IFS. I got trade in quotes from CarMax and the Hyundai dealership (offered $750 more!). I wanted them to give me the complete buyout, but caved and ended up paying $400 of it since I was already getting the Hyundai circle price discount (approx $1200 under invoice) plus the $1500 rebate. And I really wanted the car!

I haven't taken delivery of mine yet (not expected to be delivered for another two weeks :() but so far my experience has mirrored yours. I understand that Hyundai didn't want to spend the enormous sums required to set up a prestige brand and create a national sales channel, but that's the one area that I think the competition will always have a big advantage. If you're a salesman at a Lexus or Mercedes dealership, you're trained to a much higher level of service.
 
I have an Iphone 3gs and wanted to stream music from Pandora through the stereo system. The owners manual gives you detailed instruction on how to do this, but the actual system does not match the details in the book to accomplish this feat. Hence, it's not possible to do so. A glitch in the programming???

Any suggestions???

Congrats! I'm also a new 3.8 owner and I loooove this car! The gas mileage is insane on the highway and you get 333hp with that. And I love the audio system as well.

And I had a similar experience. I bought the car from College Park Hyundai, but I'm going back to Annapolis Hyundai to get it serviced. Just a MUCH nicer dealer (it's one of the 250 U.S. dealers that can sell the Equus)
