USNRET Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Son, turns 16 tomorrow. He wants a car of course. First desire was 2013 Scion FR-S, over his budget and would have to wait until next year.This popped up..2013 Hyundai Genesis with some strangeness in ad vs research. Ad says it's an R-Spec, automatic and grey interior. My searches reveals no such animal; all R-Specs were manual and red interior. R-Spec gave posi-trac, better brakes and lower suspension; we don't care. the mislabel might work for price haggling.We are viewing car Saturday morning. Female one owner, mileage on the higher side, claims full maintenance per schedule. Any past or current owners in this breed or mechanics that know it?

Speedball II Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Can't help with the details but that Hyundai sure is becoming a popular car on the roads around here in Indy. (My 175K miles plus pathfinder runs like a sewing machine with no oil burning or drips) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Over 20,000miles/year...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 Lots of miles. One owner (mid-twenties female going back and forth to college in north Texas) got her Masters and a job near the Canadian border so an AWD for her. Serviced every 3,000 miles with records. New tires and the interior is spotless. Flaws? Front and back bumpers' clear coat peeling. We bought it for $9k. Searches show about 15-18K with fewer miles. The boy is stoked. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 That seems like a very good buy, those miles wouldn't scare me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YK Thom Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 I have owned a few Hyundais. They are well made and hold up well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
