The 2012 Gennie has been demoted in my garage....

[LantanaTXGenesis]

As much as I have enjoyed the '12 Genesis since I bought it in September, it just isn't hitting the power and fun buttons for me. For full disclosure, the whole purpose of buying the $22k rental-rocket was to allow my monthly car allowance to cover both a "work" vehicle, and a "lets go have some fun" vehicle.

It has been a great car for work, as I rack up 3-4k miles a month in my sales career, and have averaged about 30 MPG for the 6k I've put on her.

I've even enjoyed the daily banter and flaming on whether aftermarket HID is right or wrong after installing a pair.....but it is time to move on.....

The Gennie has now been demoted to my office on wheels.....AKA "daily driver".

I introduce my new cruiser....

Nice! Did you sell the Genny or is it just playing second fiddle?

Nice old Vette. What year was it?

Why not use the Vette as your daily driver??? I used my 67 as my daily driver for many years.

Looks like an 08 or 9.

Looks like an 08 or 9.

The numbers on the windshield end in 8 but that could be price

I wouldn't really consider it to be an "old" Vette. It is a one-owner '08 with 38k miles and every single option.

Could I have bought a 2013, yeah, but why would I drop another $30-$40k for a vehicle that really hasn't changed since 2008 when they updated to the LS3 motor. Just like the Genesis, I find a preowned to be the best value. Let the first owner take the depreciation hit.

Model year really didn't play into the equation, I was actually more concerned about the condition and option list. Been watching for the right one for 2 years. Found this one to be truly mint condition, not a scracth, rock chip, ding, anywhere.

Purchased in Scottsdale and being shipped back to Dallas.

I do quite a bit of entertaining for work and need a back seat for clients. I also have a newborn daughter and 4 year old son. The toy is for me....
