"How To Buy A Used Hyundai Genesis
At Wholesale Prices!"

This sedan is right on par with these deservingly-appreciated segment leaders, but offers a superior value for the price. And the good news for second-hand luxury car buyers is that the Genesis debuted early in the 2009 model year, so we are now seeing some very nice, low-mileage used models coming onto the market.

For those interested in considering a used Hyundai Genesis purchase, here's a general overview of the vehicle:

The Genesis is available in two models which are named based on their engines: 3.8 and 4.6.

Powering the 3.8 is a 3.8 liter V6 engine that produces a robust 290 horsepower and 264 pound-feet of torque. The 4.6 model is equipped with a 4.6 liter V8 with an impressive output of 375 horsepower and 333 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated with a six-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift controls.

Even the base 3.8 model is very well-equipped, including standard high-end features such as heated front seats, a leather interior, dual-zone automatic climate control and a 7-speaker audio system with satellite radio and iPod compatibility.

The 4.8 V8 adds additional features such as larger 18 inch alloy wheels, upgraded leather trim (both dash and doors), a wood and leather-trimmed steering wheel, an 8-way power passenger seat, driver memory functions, chrome exterior trim accents, a 6-disc CD changer and a 15-speaker Lexicon audio system.

Used Genesis models can also be found with optional features such as navigation with real-time traffic (hard-drive-based), front and rear park assist, xenon headlights and Bluetooth connectivity.

The elegant exterior design of the Genesis demonstrates the lines, cuts and workmanship of a luxury sedan. Inside, the cabin continues this sophisticated ambiance with an attractive upscale design, high quality materials and soft-touch surfaces. There's also generous room for passengers, both front and rear, with comfortable and supportive seating.

On the road, the Hyundai Genesis cruises effortlessly, quietly and extremely smoothly ... nearly oblivious to road bumps and irregularities. There's plently of power and refinement in the V6 that will satisfy most drivers, but it's the 375 horsepower V8 that really shines, and with only a small sacrifice to fuel efficiency. (Gas mileage for the V6 is EPA rated at 18 mpg city and 27 mpg highway, while the V8 comes in at 17 city and 25 highway.)

Bear in mid, however, that the Genesis is engineered with soft suspension tuning to emphasize driving comfort over dynamic athleticism. This is not a "sport sedan". It's a refined and pampering drive that also provides outstanding acceleration.

In addition, in government crash tests, the Hyundai Genesis was awarded perfect five-out-of-five-star ratings for all occupants for both for front and side-impact protection.

With its long list of feature availability, absolutely top-notch material and build quality, and appealing prices, we think the Hyundai Genesis makes an excellent choice as a used luxury sedan purchase. And we can suggest two ways to help you save when buying one.
