Do NOT BUY a Used Genesis, Without Watching this (I warned you...)(Owner for 8 years)

[@KLEANTRIX]

Should You buy a used Genesis? I give you three reasons, why you should, and three reasons, why you shouldn't. I also made a video about 24 Things I HATE about My Genesis: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3yYo6Rvgd-lpNE

BiG TIP - Buy a Certified Pre-owned Genesis with the full warrant for about 60% of the original price. With only 20k mileage. I have twice.

[@omairidris118]

I have a 2015 Genesis 3.8 just like this one. I bought it brand new. Today, it has 247k miles on it. Engine is original with all original parts. My sunroof also rattles in cold weather but I don’t care. It has served me very well! My target is to get to 300k miles and then get something new!

[@maxxedout2020]

I just bought one with 44k. If i could get this mileage, I'll be retired and/or dead before I need another car.

[@andreslayz]

what is your insurance payment?

[@HyperBRUIN]

Lucky you. I purchased a 32,000 mile pre-owned Hyundai Genesis (2015) and had the fuel door replaced, the oil pan leak replaced, the left rear door handle break off, the wires in the trunk be repaired (TSB), and lastly, transmission failure at 105,000 miles. In total, I spent over $8,000 in repairs...garbage company (Hyundai)...traded up to a Lexus.

[@billkallas1762]

I have a 2013 Genesis that I bought new. In the 10 years that I have owned it, I have had ZERO issues and Zero repair costs. I've done all of the general maintenance, myself, except for oil changes, because when I bought the car, I received a coupon book for $8.95 oil changes. (The oil filter alone must cost that much) Every time I go to the dealer, they try to sell me things that I've already done......They must hate my guts.

[@coreysmith5141]

I have a 2013 Genesis Sedan 3.8 with 200,000 miles. I had only 2 minor issues with the vehicle since I purchased it used at 37,000 miles. It's really the most reliable vehicle I have owned to date.

[@GarthKlaus]

Too late for me. I just bought a 2018 G80. $19k, 65,800 miles. We'll see ..

[@kj232009]

Kleantrix i posted a comment a few days ago about the alignment giving me problems. I had the car aligned at 4 different shops and each shop said it was good but tried to adjust the alignment according to the pull i was experiencing. Upon doing some online research the past 2 weeks i came across a forum post about loose lug nut torque because the Genesis is a heavy car. I Purchased a 1/2 torque wrench and set it to 95 ft lbs torque. After i torque each wheel in a star pattern i take the car for a drive. To my astonishment the car drove perfect, steering felt precise, no more wandering and the car felt quicker for some reason. Called my mechanic because i still couldnt believe it. He said under torqued wheels can cause pull, vibration, and wander especially with 4,700 pound car like the Genesis. Hope i can help someone else within the Genesis family👍 oh also i had brake shudder before i torque the lug nuts, even that is gone now.

[@KLEANTRIX]

OMG! This is the best comment this year! Thank you I will look into this and test it out! If it works, I will make a video about it and give you credit.

[@ritajackson7544]

I have owned mine since new, Dec 2014, I love it and have had only one minor issue. In fact I just changed the original battery in April 2024. Great vehicle 🎉

[@spokenbyj3551]

I got the same vehicle for $15k in 2018. Excellent deal. Only drawback is being charged more for maintenance such as oil change and spark plugs.

[@deanag8457]

if u get am oil light it may be u need to put 7 to 8qts of oil the recommended oil is not correct at the auto stores

[@t3true-games]

If anyone reads this, I also have a 2015 Like his, but I do not have all the bells and whistles.. And I have not had to take it to get fixed that much. would do the regular checkups (way too pricey) and 1 major fix that was under warranty. I would get an extended warranty, right now I have this silly oil light that could be a sensor, and the car keeps thinking the back window is open, i can live with that. ITs a car good this, but like he and I say, dont get the one with sunroof! And if you do just get the extended warranty. Right now also my paint is bad on my bumpers. I can live with that. But its an 8 year old car with 106k miles and I love it.

[@KLEANTRIX]

Great input! The oil light thing is a sensor and super dumb.....

[@MikeCormack-c2m]

You can't not get it with a sunroof. I have a 2016 Equus signature. More bells and whistles than I can possibly use, but I love it. Got the 5.0 in it and other than 2 minor problems with it when I bought it, it's been very reliable. 64000 miles and I expect to get twice that with it. 😊

I have to double tap this, because you got a genesis - you probably noticed your view count go down since not many people can find relevancy with this car

[@bartowflorida]

Had a 2015 and had the same problem with the little rattle in the sunroof. Also had issues with the blindsppot sensor going off for no reason, so i just turned it off. Only other problem i had was the front air guide motor or whatever its called

[@TDunroe20]

First you say buy the car then turn around and say not to buy the car contradictory if you ask me. Also this is not a German car. Came from the makers of Hyundai. Remember the Hyundai Genesis? That vehicle split off into its own luxury line. If your going to make videos can you at least know what your talking about lol

[@az_pit_viper4270]

So what you are saying is don't buy one? This video is confusing 😂😂. If you have yours that much I'll give you $3k for it

[@dawkrb]

Warranty reverts to 5year/60 months for the second owner-the 10 year warranty is only for the first owners.

[@maxxbenzz7842]

Really? Wow

[@wagyu_killer]

lexus still the same 60 month 70000 miles. so buying a lexus used has better warranty. i have 2012 genny sedan 3.8 82000 miles

[@dawkrb]

@@wagyu_killer Our Genny is a 2012 with 167000 on it. Ac compressor went at 135000 and the brake lines corroded at 137000 but Hyundai picked up the tab even though it was out of warranty. Check that recall for the brake fluid because when they go, you have no brakes. Luckily it happened in our driveway but it could have been catastrophic on the road.

[@dawkrb]

@@maxxbenzz7842 yes, a lot of people assume they get the remainder of the warranty when they buy a used Hyundai but it doesn’t transfer unless it’s certified. Otherwise it’s treated as if it was a 5 year 60k original warranty.

[@Dugar1]

I got my honda accord because of you. Paid her off and now im looking at getting a Genesis or G80

[@Jumpsuit56]

Your right In getting that extended warranty!!!! I got a 10 year extended bumper to bumper warranty and in my 2012 Equus it paid off because they paid for my transmission at 3000k the my air suspension twice at 55,000 k and then the engine at 58,000k which reset the drive train for another 50000 miles. Still have my car at 99500 miles Equus Ultimate 429 hp 5.0 tau. I got it dyno at 182 mph by the way.

[@napirod513]

Bro I sell cars for a living…. Demo’d Genesis for 3 weeks….. Love it! If you’re buying any used Lux take K’s advice, buy the best warranty possible!! #thankmelater

[@bentonpreslar3696]

Bought a used 2018 g90. Best car ive ever had. Only thing you need to be mindful of is the 3.3 produce more carbon then usual so a fuel induction service every other oil change and the transmission fluid says to be changed after 90k miles, do 45 or every 30k. That long lasting transmission fluid is b.s. This is stuff ive found researching the engine an transmission reliability.

[@mike-papi-8580]

Hands down, pound for pound a great car, never have I ever regretted purchasing this wonderful reliable car!

[@jimquantic]

Well spelled out and thank you. I knew where you were going when, on the plus side, you talked about the great warranty AND the need for a great warranty. Obviously, this Korean maker is not Honda company; I always say that what trumps a great warranty is a car that does not need a warranty--as little, if anything goes wrong. BUT, I do wonder if the newer Genesis' are coming up to the mark?

[@HDHQDIRECT]

When you buy a used car this old you don't get a warranty....duh. You don't need a warranty. If your so hell bent on a warranty, then get a new car. Your video is totally useless info. I definitely won't be subscribing to hear more of your opinions.

Why u so mad💀💀

[@jb_head7699]

[@turnne]

Wow... a lot of warranty claims on that one I purchased a used 3 year old Hyundai Equus in 2015 and still own it today. It was in the new car warranty when I purchased it and they did the front air struts, a new Nav head unit and some work on the sunroof right at the time I bought it. I bought the factory warranty " wrap" which basically gave me 5 more years and 100K total of factory warranty. The car never broke again and thus I never got to use the extended warranty I purchased. I did have to do a wheel bearing ($900) at the dealer about 6 months ago At this point I am probably going to buy a 2-3 year old Genesis G90 as the next one

[@kj232009]

Love my 2018 Ultimate but ever since I had my differential replaced the wheel alignment has been out of wack. Sadly most shops don't do the alignment correctly or half ass. Before the differential was replaced my alignment was golden. Supposedly alignment is a big issue on the g80 on g90. They lose their alignment fast

[@KLEANTRIX]

Yeah... the wheel alignment is horrible.

[@Justkevin377]

I had the brake light issue they covered it. I had computer software issues with the emissions system and dealers and Genesis would not cover it. I had to pay. That 100k warranty means nothing to them. They will find every way not to pay.

Before purchasing a Genesis, check your service wait times. I purchased a 2019 G90. It takes a month to get service and now, I've had 2 dealerships decline the valet service because, "I didn't purchase it from them". That wasn't what was promised. I even called Genesis USA. The person on the phone knew of the problem but offered no help. Now, the G90 is over $100K. This is crazy. If you want to burn $100K why not get married ? If I'm to be lied to and treated this way, I might as well purchase a BMW. At least I'll have the badge snobbery we all know of.

[@KLEANTRIX]

I think it is a clog in a drain part of the vehicle, maybe in the taillight or run roof. My solution was to remove the rear trunk rubber water drain plug and I haven't had any sitting water ever since. Luckily the water never actually goes into the carpet and doesn't touch the battery.
