Please house help a friend out. He is so much in love with the V8 hyundai genesis & he decided going for the 2010 model. Right now he's in Lagos, planning to enter benin republic (cotonou) to hunt for this ride tomorrow. The questions are; 1- will he see this ride there? 2- what will be the cost (american spec) 3- how is the running/maintenance cost of this ride. Please usefull comments are welcome., thanx |

My only issue with the genesis is the outrageous price of its spare parts. |

johnwell:they are very reliable..... but after considering their running costs, prices of their body panels and other components over here, i would rather stick to a benz or bmw, at least they are known devils. it is worthy to note that the E60 5series was the benchmark used during the R & D phase of the genesis' development. I like the genesis, but I think hyundai is making a big mistake by not spinning the 'Genesis' brand into a separate luxury brand of its own. Those south koreans should grow some balls. 1 Like |

Initially, we were considering an 2010 Acura RL, but the cost is high. |

johnwell:this is a wild estimate; a 2010 V8 with a clean title should go for between 4.2m-7m depending on the specs and mileage. salvaged variants will be lesser though. |

"ubok abasi" Jesu Christi, no wander my friend has been in the market for days & couldn't find any...... that means the 2010 Acura RL is cheaper. |

johnwell:like i said, its a wild estimate based on the average cost online, estimated shipping/clearing cost in addition to the dealer's estimated profit margin. Unlike other hyundais that depreciate quickly, the genesis seems to hold its residual value rather well, its just that it has an image problem... irrespective of how u choose to look at it, its still a hyundai! the VW phaeton is another stunning vehicle that has the same issue with the genesis; Snob value. |

Am begining to be scared of this machine, despite the power it has..... we can't find it in the benin auto city, am always scared of this pre-ordering thing, but one korean auto giant here in benin agreed to pre-order for us, we told him we're coming back on monday... He showed us one beastly hyundai equu....... (I forget the full name) |

johnwell: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/2011_Hyundai_Equus_--_12-29-2011.jpg/800px-2011_Hyundai_Equus_--_12-29-2011.jpg Its known as the equus, it uses a stretched genesis platform. This is hyundai's take on the full size heavy hitters; the merc. S class, bmw 7series, audi A8, jaguar XJ and lexus LS. it still suffers from the image problem of the genesis though... |

I'm not a Hyundai / Kia fan (I've worked for Kia, and seen things from a different perspective). They have however made big improvements in recent models. I would pick the 2010 Acura RL over the Hyundai Genesis anyday. An overall better package, better residual value and more importantly, legendary Honda reliability. |

@ Siena: Is the genesis available for the UK domestic market yet? |
Re: What About Hyundai Genesis 2010 V8? by johnwell(m): 3:29pm On Jul 13, 2013 |

platinumricky: @ Siena: Is the genesis available for the UK domestic market yet? Now that's what I'm not sure of. I haven't seen any yet. |
