Hi Everyone,
I've been looking at the Genesis for 2 years now and finally decided to purchase a used one. I've been looking for a few weeks now and haven't really found one to my liking (mileage and history) until I came across a '12 Genesis 3.8 with 35,000 miles and the tech package for almost $17K. Its almost too good to be true as its about 2-3K less than similar cars and its from a dealer! Usually i find the best priced cars from private sellers.
Anyway a did a lot of digging and researching and couldn't find anything wrong with the car except that it was a personal lease which I don't mind. Clean carfax and autocheck, no accidents so I called and set an appointment for Saturday. I did some further analysis on the pics and noticed some frame/structural differences between other cars, which now has me very hesitant. This is where I need your opinions ladies and gentlemen. I've attached a pic as a reference (1st) as well as the same exact car from another dealer (2nd). Do you guys see any differences? I see the door spacing and lining different, which could mean a big accident that was not reported. Maybe I'm just paranoid.
The dealer is 5 hours away so I would hate to drive there for nothing. But I do want to point out that the dealer has extremely high ratings. What do you guys think? Assuming I test drive it and everything seems fine, should I still go ahead and buy it? I'm asking as I know some of you have had lots of experience buying cars, which i dont have.
PS: I have another forum but being that I need a suggestion asap i created this as well. I wasn't sure which forum group it belonged to.
