New to the thread and Genesis overall. Was actually recommended to look into Genesis by my Uber driver on a work trip when mentioning I was looking at buying a new car.

Found a 2024 Genesis GV80 Prestige for $55K with 34K miles, clean CarFax and service history (all done at Genesis dealerships). I’m curious what owners in this group think regarding purchasing a used Genesis. It will still be under the 60K warranty, and if purchased, will eventually buy the extended warranty. I plan to keep this car for 8+ years.

Quick background: primarily work from home, so main commute is around town (suburb) with occasional 2-3 hour drives 2x a month (~128 miles). I have a 7-mos old, married with 2 dogs. Usually when we make those longer drives we do it separately.

Appreciate the feedback!

I bought a new GV80 coupe a few weeks ago, and am looking for some help. Every time I wash my car, the driver side is covered in grease within minutes. I can't tell if it's the tires, or if I'm missing something. Any one else have this experience?

A coworker of mine is selling a 2017 G80 with 56K miles on it, and has offered to sell it to me for 15K before he takes up a carmax offered price.

Its the Royal blue color and seems to have all the luxury options, afaik. It does have a fairly significant rear passenger door scratch, but test driving it seems mechanically sound, and he is pretty religious about maintenance.

I have never owned a Genesis nor even a Korean car (mostly experienced with Toyota and Honda). Is this a deal for this model year?

Are there any things to keep in mind or to watch out for for this year/motor/drivetrain? It seems there are many reports of Transmission issues for this year - is that something that is known to go out at a certain mileage?

Thanks to all those who are more experienced than me on this - I am fairly mechanically minded (brakes, belts, oil changes, etc) but it would be a daily driver for me, so reliability is somewhat important.

Hello everyone, I've been dealing with really bad throttle lag in my 2009 hyundai genesis 3.8 V6 sedan ever since I bought it used with roughly around 145,000 miles on it & it now has 210,000 & its been an awesome car, no problems. But the throttle delay is so bad I'm wondering if there could be more of a mechanical issue then just basic throttle lag. I've read comments on YouTube saying that the Hyundai Genesis has issues with throttle lag & I just bought a throttle response controller & the one I bought is the roar pedal which for those that might not know its a device to get rid of the throttle lag, I haven't received it yet but it's driving me crazy wondering if it'll fix it. These devices cost anywhere from $50 to $300 & the one I bought was $200 & I've also looked online & apparently the throttle position sensor can go bad as well but I don't exactly know how to check that, sorry for such a big paragraph & thank you all for replies in advance.

After a long search for a new ride, I’ve settled on the GV80 to be my next car. However, I’m wondering if there is a big difference other than appearance between the GV80 prestige and the Prestige Black. I know the Black is a 5 seater with power reclining seats while the regular prestige is a 7 seater. I think I slightly prefer the exterior of the regular prestige, but I’ve got virtually no use for the 3rd row, and I would prefer more legroom for the 2nd row.

Does anyone know if there is a difference in the legroom for the 2nd row in the Prestige and the Black Prestige?

I’ve only tested the Black, and it also seems to recline quite a bit in the 2nd row. Is there a difference between the prestige and the black prestige regarding 2nd row reclining? Thank you all in advance.

Went to 2 dealerships and both salesman were horrible. Do they realize they are the least prestigious "luxury" car brand. Bmw lexus acura the salesman were all great. These guys at genesis were just down right nasty and dont want to sell used at all. Spoke to one guy and was telling him what im looking for and instead of taking my info just said "good luck not gonna happen". It honestly makes me not want to even deal with the company. There must not be much incentive for them to sell used. These cars depreciation are very high and honestly im not going to spend close to 70k for a glorified hyundai at the end of the day. Are they that in demand where a salesman just doesnt even care to take your information for when a lease return comes back I just dont get it. Also makes me think if I bought one, how would I be treated after the sale. What a terrible experience Genesis needs to get better salesman here in NY specifically Long Island. Best part is both dealerships were dead when I went in meanwhile lexus and bmw were both packed on the same day. Anyone have a good genesis salesman in the tri state they recommend?

For a digital key card I am reading that it needs to be programmed by a dealer? Is that true? I was reading in other places that it could be done at home. TIA!

My gv70 car has been at the dealership for more than a week for an AC repair under warranty.

I was originally planning to visit family out of town 100 miles away.

Can I use the loaner to do so or is there a mileage limit/ or a radius not to exceed with a loaner?

Has anyone owned both versions? If so what are the pros and cons of each and which would you recommend?

Debating between an X5 x40i and gv80 prestige black.

For context my other car is an X5 and we love that car. We have had an X5 in the past as well and have not had any issues with it. The debate is whether we get another x5 or change things around and get a gv80. I have a bmw dealer near me and has been reliable but the nearest genesis dealer is 100 miles away which is where I would get the car from. Their reviews are poor with a mixture of poor customer service and shady finance practices to dubious pricing. So far though my talks on pricing have been straight forward and clear and discounts have been clear and agreed at least on paper.

From a pricing standup both the x5 and the gv80 come out to the same price with the x5 spec the way I want it.

Kind of hesitant on commiting to Genesis. Thoughts?
