2015 Genesis Sedan Thread
i remember elantra winning top residual awards few years ago, probably before the mpg fiasco. i don't know how they are doing now, but most likely they are probably average. somewhere between toyota/honda and domestics.
Please do not bring the LS in the discussion and it is ridiculous to say genesis/equus resale is no worse than the Germans or Jaguar.

bmbutler shared his OWNERSHIP experience. He is not some guy without the car promoting it.
Personally, I'm not ready to drop $40k-$50k on one but I can see how it would make a pretty good value proposition to the right buyer.

i can bring LS in the discussion whenever i want. but all i said 'NOT NAMED LS.'
and why do you think i'm kidding? ah that's right. you are the ultimate lexus loyal customer. you must never bought german cars before.
just from my recent car shopping experience, many german products depreciates alot. i don't even have to research it. i know this. i was looking around used cars.
2010 528i. you can easily find them in low 20s.
2010 535i xdrive certified - you can find these easily for 25k. there are ton of them where i live.
2010 genesis 3.8. you can easily find them for around 18-20k.
2010 E350 - easily can be had for around 23-25k. my friend bought one.
i think a6 has a better value. but 5 series depreciates alot.
so will german car buyers be shocked to see hyundai depreciating like crazy? hell naw. german car buyers know many of german luxury products depreciate like crazy. so yes it is a baseless accusation to say genesis' depreciation will shock them because those GERMAN CARS depreciates alot. 2010 genesis was what 33k-42k car? much lower in msrp.
we all know S class, a8, 7 series, xj depreciate like crazy. doesn't matter what year. 100k car depreciates like crazy. NOT NAMED LS.

just looked equus on autotrader
2013 equus
lowest 37k with very low miles
highest 48k with very low miles
it definitely depreciates alot. but i'm sure most 60k 2013 german cars can be had for 40-50k too.
2012 equus
lowest 29k (82k miles)
highest 42.5k (7.6k miles
seems like equus depreciates more than genesis. understandable because it's friggin 60k hyundai. and even if genesis/equus depreciates more than german cars it can't be that much more.

Please don't mistake my Lexus Ownership with not clearly knowing about other brands. I just spoke to Hyundai 2 weeks ago for crying out loud.
But please englighen us CP1 on how incredible their resale value is.

The germans do have a good bit of depreciation but you simply cannot compare the resale value of a Hyundai to the rest.
09 Gen $13k - http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&csDlId=&csDgId=&listingId=605796677&listingRecNum=189&criteria=feedSegId%3D28705%26rpp%3D50%26isDealerGrouping%3Dfalse%26sf2Nm%3Dmiles%26requestorTrackingInfo%3DRTB_SEARCH%26sf1Nm%3Dprice%26sf2Dir%3DASC%26stkTypId%3D28881%26PMmt%3D1-1-0%26rn%3D150%26zc%3D33055%26rd%3D250%26crSrtFlds%3DstkTypId-feedSegId-mkId-mdId%26mdId%3D21221%26stkTyp%3DU%26mkId%3D20064%26sf1Dir%3DDESC&aff=national&listType=1
2012 Equus $25k- http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=1
You wont see any 2012 Lexus, BMW, MB, or Audi flagship selling that cheap even with the mileage.

dealers are willing to let them go for about 4000 below msrp.
a one year old 2015 genesis would be a steal at 30k.

We just pulled the stats within 500 miles of Detroit which includes your area and average price of a 535 xdrive is about 30k, maybe you found some beat up one for 25k and used it to make your point but I do not see these numbers as being accurate as my employee just said, if they are only 25k there would be one in our parking lot right now.

i can bring LS in the discussion whenever i want. but all i said 'NOT NAMED LS.'

2010 genesis 3.8. you can easily find them for around 18-20k.

i think a6 has a better value. but 5 series depreciates alot.

2010 550 price average list is $35k, hell 2012 averages 45-47k let alone a 2013
$32.9k
http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=1
and it's probably much more expensive than equus you found.
27k
http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail...nal&listType=1
hell i think e350 4matic are probably 70k
look at my post about autotrader average.
anyway, both 8 cylinder 5 or E class are easily more expensive than Equus. and like i said it doesn't matter equus depreciates more than those. gap probably aren't that much.
and both 2012 5 or E 8 cylinder can be easily had for 35k-40k if the mileage is over 60k. that should be a target $. i know this because i know many friends who always look 3 year old v8 for 40k.
bottomline, lexfather make it sound like equus depreciates twice more than germans. that's just not the case.
