There is no negotiating and no let me talk to the manager again .. if they could have done better .. they should have. No second chances. Simply shop a few dealerships with the same strategy .. and let them all know you have shopped around. One of them will give you a deal you were not expecting that more then meets your price.


So you obviously haven’t tried to buy a vehicle in the last 6-8 months, dealers are going to laugh at you.

My oil change is less than $100 for my Mercedes

The people who complain about maintenance costs being high for European cars are the ones who fail to find a good independent mechanic. NEVER go to dealerships unless warranty covers something.

Genesis all the way! Best car I have EVER owned.


Recently bought a 2016 Genesis with all of the option packages and around 50k miles on it. Drives amazing and has every option you can think of. Can also be a beast in sport mode.

Bought the wife a G70 3.3t sport in December. So far, really a great car. The wife loves it and i enjoy driving it with putting it in sport mode and having fun with the 365 hp with awd. I'm 6'2 230 and i fit comfortably. The safety features took a little getting used to but i believe you can turn alot of them off if you like. The lexicon stereo has a good quality sound, better than any vehicle we've had. I'm not saying it's better than the other cars in your list, just giving you what we think of ours if it helps. Good luck!

I would buy a Tesla Model S long before I dropped $50k on one of these

Every kia I have driven has been a complete piece of crap. Ran like crap, rode like crap, felt like crap, I mean, made a base-model Ford feel like the height of luxury and engineering.


Same. People will knock you for getting a Euro car but, if you test drive all four vehicles, you'll tell the difference. The steering, the sound, handling, the way the doors close, the feel of the gas pedal and brakes, everything just feels better. This is true from the base models to the top models. The turbo 4's will give you better gas mileage and plenty of git up to do pretty much anything you need to do on the roadway.

I really wanted to buy an Audi I test drove a while back with a turbo v6, fully loaded everything. I stuck with the hyndai, and it’s had to go in the shop exactly once for repairs in the last two years, and the fix was cheap. It’s been a great car, and hopefully will continue to be for several more years.

This is vastly overstated. My wife's BMW oil changes were every 10k miles, and were only like $150-200.

Now, the other bullshite problems that occurred with that vehicle were fricking expensive, but the oil changes were fine.

So it's as fast or faster than the others, has a better warranty, and has more bells and whistles, and drives smooth and quiet.

Do this one.

Sounds great until you have to actually go to a Hyundai dealership for service. They are the most god-awful places to do any kind of business.
