Used warranty 2015 genesis ultimate 5.0

[WohlfarthJG]

Did you get that warranty from the Honda dealer, or through a Hyundai dealer? How much was it if you don’t mind me asking? And any deductible?

Congrats on the new ride!

Got it from Honda dealer and it was 2900. I called fidelity which is supposed to be real good and the wanted 4500 for same coverage. Exclusionary coverage so it’s bumper to bumper except wear and tear parts.

Not bad at all, I had a Fidelity warranty on a previous car, they never covered a single claim I made.

Hey Wohl, maybe should have been clearer in prior replies, but most owners out here clearly recommend ONLY to purchase the HPP CPO Wrap through a Hyundai dealer. It is backed by Safeguard which administers this for Hyundai as has been explained to me by Hyundai Customer Care.

Not saying a third-party Warranty won't work or have its merits, but past experience with prior vehicles has proven it's a battle most of the time. And while I'm happy with my Genny and the deal I negotiated through the long-distance dealership I purchased from, they jacked me around and pretended to sell me the HPP but instead sold me a third-party called The Mechanic (through Assurant with decent online reviews), yet I chose to cancel those due to the recommends here. Call it peace of mind since I plan on owning for a while. Had to get Hyundai Corp involved and purchased my HPP CPO Wrap from my local servicing dealer and couldn't be happier at the recent services I've had.

So, just FYI. And for $2900, I would think you could get the 10/100 with zero deduct through Hyundai. Not sure where you are, but here in FL we have a 60-Day Service Contract Cancellation Statute (100% refund). Whether you choose to keep what you have or switch, congrats on your new ride!

I’ll be pm’ing you when I get my Genesis, I’m in FL too, maybe you can tell where you got your warranty from.

Good afternoon. I called Hyundai corporate and also several dealers and they would not certify the car post purchase. Therefore I won’t be able to get CPO warranty or wrap from Hyundai. I wish I could have but nobody would work with me. I wish I knew someone in Hyundai service but I don’t. Any info on how I could change would be great but I think it’s my only option! =\

So the only way to purchase any kind of warranty through Hyundai directly, the car has to be certified?

Definitely good to know for my future purchase.

CPO can only be done prior to purchase. Dealer inspects and pays a $1000 royalty to Hyundai Corporate to keep the Powertrain warranty intact for 10/100,000. In order to get CPO Wrap, you must have CPO first. BUT, you can get one of the regular warranty plans (Platinum Service Contract) just as long as the car is covered by the 5/60,000 bumper-to-bumper warranty. They are more expensive than the CPO Wrap though.

I got a regular warranty plan. Platinum exclusionary coverage through Honda dealer that’s good through Hyundai or many other dealers for service

While I had mine certified by the selling dealer prior to purchase, I did purchase the Wrap at my local dealer. However, in our discussions, he told me they charge $1k for Genesis CPO certifications and that the Platinum Wrap is also available without it. Based on the statements above, I'm now highly curious to get further clarification on the what's and whatnots.

In my multiple calls with Hyundai Customer Care and with HMA Corporate, they eluded that all Warranty decisions are made by the Dealerships, which leads me to believe that some do and some don't. Just as with my many calls to various dealers, as many never returned the call (they'd rather not screw with it) and the couple that did and quoted me (obviously they do).

As glennk mentions, if you can still purchase an HPP (non-CPO) Platinum Wrap plan that covers the whole vehicle bumper-to-bumper (assuming that's the case, including the powertrain) then that's just as good as having a CPO to begin with and adding the CPO Wrap. It sounds like Hyundai just discounts the Wrap if it's already CPO certified. Either way, my preference is to be covered under the Hyundai plan whatever the case may be.

I will update further after I speak with my local SA again.

Congrats on the new ride buddy!!!!

I'm in the market to buy a low-mileage 2015 5.0 with Ultimate package. Factory warranty remains in effect thru April 2020. In 30 years of vehicle ownership, and with various makes, I've never purchased an extended warranty and have never regretted turning them down when offered. Pondering buying the warranty now only because of the extensive 'bells & whistles' in the 5.0.

I'm not worried about the power train. On the other hand, I'm having trouble understanding how reliable the electronics/switches are. Comments?

Sorry for the thead shift!

I just try to set aside a "repair fund" - I've heard a lot of horror stories about 3rd party warranties and how arbitrary the coverage can be. But that's just me - some have a decent experience with them, I've personally heard more bad than good though. If they can find a loophole to worm out of paying, they will. Just like any insurance, their goal is to maximize their profit and pay out as little as possible... However, if you can get a CPO car and have Hyundai extend the warranty, that'd be best - but those command more of a premium $$$.

The Genesis seems to be generally stout in my experience. Regular maintenance will go a long way to forestall any major problems. Some have had issues with the pano roof (I lubricate every few months) and early builds had issues with infotainment head units early on (the replacements seem more durable, mine was replaced by the previous owner w/in 6 months of purchase). There also been some that experienced driveshaft & differential issues, but that seems pretty rare. I've found that most of the time that the percentage of occurrence on a car's "issues" are overblown on forums. That being said, there is an issue w/ the pano roof glass cracking / shattering - but Hyundai is extending coverage for that to all owners to 100k miles.

I have had a couple of weird electrical issues - mainly my AC compressor stopped working abruptly. But I cured it by removing & reinserting the associated fuses - the local service adviser was pretty upfront about saying that they occasionally can work themselves out over time / mileage and that's a good place to start if you experience a "ghost in the machine". Also, making sure that the battery is up to snuff quells some of that random nonsense - modern cars are pretty much rolling computers and are intolerant about not having steady power.

Just have the car thoroughly inspected by a trusted tech before purchase - prob the best $100 you can spend. If the dealer doesn't go for it, look elsewhere.

Sorry about the "novel". Just my 2 cents.

@skipgen thanks for the thorough and thoughtful reply. Appreciate it.

As mentioned, I've never gone for an extended warranty. The economics of it don't make sense to me, but I understand that many people love them.

I go into car ownership more or less as you do: I expect to have to deal with issues here & there----and I either figure out how to address the issues with my own two hands or, if I don't have the skills/tools/guts to do that, I pay the price.

I've always been the same way, except with this car. I got the CPO wrap through Hyundai on this one after researching the prices of some replacement parts (since they never repair anymore) before buying.

Yep - An outright catastrophic mechanical failure is pretty rare in a modern car. If something weird pops up, my indie mechanic is pretty great about plugging my car into their high level scan tool for gratis and lets me decide whether it's something to tackle on my own, let me know if they can handle it or tell me to go to the dealer - and it has been option 3 on a couple of occasions. Good to deal with someone honest.
