  • 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.

If done correctly, it can really help with emissions and gas mileage and not impact performance. I do not really notice mine at all yet some hate it. I think a lot has to do with personal preference and even preconceived notions.
 
Quick question, since this is a first model year vehicle. The two dealers, that have what I think I want, the three cars I am looking at have build dates of July 2018 and November 2018. That surprised me that cars are sitting here that long. I know they come on a boat from Korea but the July dates scare me as I know that a manufacturer "fixes" things throughout production as issues arise or complaints start coming in from dealers and buyers related to issues that require a TSB. Thoughts or am I worrying about nothing? I could also wait for the 2020 to hit the dealers but no one seems to know when that will be and I am getting a solid deal on my Acura trade and don't want to lose another grand or so. Thanks
I think your correct about minor production improvements. Manufacturers purchase a lot of various parts, sub-assemblies, wire bundles and the like from multiple sources around the world typically. Although Genesis states the majority of the car is built in Korea, I think individual components can come from about anywhere and then Genesis does the final installation and assembly. Only mention all this for companies use low bidders and sometime later realize the part or sub-assembly is not performing satisfactory, not fitting perfectly or more warranty work is being required than planned for at the dealers. Companies switch suppliers in a lot of these cases so production improvements can occur throughout a production life cycle. I work in a large manufacturing company on products that fly. We source parts from low bidders all over the world and switch suppliers all the time when quality, cost or schedules are impacted. I’m making an assumption auto manufacturers are pretty much the same. That is one reason why I am waiting for 2020 models hoping maybe life cycle improvements might be made in some areas after the first model year. Plus the first couple G70s I looked at were 6 months old due to the whole launch debacle with dealers and I did not want a car that had been sitting around that long.
 
I understand your reasoning about purchase strategy. Another view is that when a buyer finds a car he wants and it has been parked at a dealer for months it may be a car which the dealer is more motivated to negotiate price.
I followed dealer inventory at local dealers and targeted a car built Christmas week 2018 and had been on dealer lot from at least mid March 2019, the beginning of my search. In late June it was still there. This knowledge gave me some leverage with the sales manager.
I am more concerned with ECM downloads, and other electronic updates and improvements that can be made part of running maintenance at each visit.
 
What’s up, fellow Genesis folks! I stumbled across the G70 while shopping for a Palisade for my wife a few weeks ago.
I’m a big car guy and have had a Z06, Hellcat, and C63 to name a few, but I didn’t know much about the G70 at all.
Well, I left the dealer that same night with the Santiago Silver G70 3.3 Sport AWD from the showroom floor and NO Palisade! I’m at mile 552 and have possible exhaust and tune plans!
Don’t know if this will help any of you at the moment, but here are a few stats from the deal.
MSRP $52,610
Zero Down at signing
36 month Lease, 10K per year
$595 month

That’s awesome!!! Nice car collection!!! G70 fits well...especially with a JB4!

Where are you located?
 
Thanks! Yeah, I’m really liking the G70 so far. Is the JB4 from Burger Motorsports? I’m in Indiana, about 40 mins from Indianapolis.

Yes it is. Great product and the support from Terry is fantastic.

Beefer,
I’m assuming you have a 3.3 and the JB4 and would love to ask a few more questions. What’s the best way to proceed? Replying here, elsewhere?

Hey y’all, I am trying to buy a G70 and I heard someone mention the circle A plan, but I need a certificate. Is there anybody on here who can possibly help me get that so I can get it off the car? I can repay you somehow, I just don’t know how yet!

Over the past months a member of this board who is a Hyundai employee or affiliate, and a Genesis fan, has provided Circle discounts when requested. It should be possible to message him when you accumulate 15-16 original posts (not likes, etc). This limit is to prevent bots from creating havoc. As you participate more often others will guide you in this effort. It just takes time. He must be as sure as possible that a person is real and has honest interest. Please understand.
 
I've been reading through the thread. I have never had nor considered a lease, but after reading hear about lease vs finance, I have a couple questions. The lease then buy route sounds great. What number of miles annually is generally too high to go this route? Also is the state of GA one of the states that charges the tax once at lease and once at purchase? I know the TAVT laws changed recently, but don't know if that's how it works here. Thanks!

From my communication with FL Genesis dealers, if you are 100% committed to buying out the lease, then the miles don't matter as if you go over they won't charge you because you are buying the vehicle. In this case it is probably best to max out the yearly miles at 15,000 miles per year in order to lower the Residual so that more of the car is covered under the cheaper MF.

Since you are buying at the end of the lease then it doesn't matter how many miles you are putting on the car. It may actually be advantageous to get a 15k/yr lease since the MFs are very low.

You will want to verify how the taxes will work since double taxing could take away most/all the advantage of leasing and then buying.

There is also a balloon financing program that is available, at least in some areas, that offer the incentives similar to lease cash that aren't available when using normal financing. You may want to check with dealers to see if that is available in your area.
