So, I have a 2015 Genesis that is due in August. I have a ding in the bumper that jacked up the exhaust tip and has a few puncture holes in it. Hyundai sent me something that said that holes in body panel/bumper any size would be charged $200. Would they just charge me $200 to fix this when my local body shop would charge $1000? Can post pictures if needed.
are you not leasing a 2018? I recently received a 3-month pull ahead offer (I’m up in Sept on my '15) and waive up to $500 on wear & use. I had a local dealer work up some numbers and they’re not attractive at this point so will hold onto mine.
I haven’t seen any attractive offers as well. That may change. I got 5,000 miles to burn and I plan on using them.
Get a price from a local shop regarding the damage fix, I never trust a manufacture when they say “only $200”. They will jack that up massively when they get the car. I’ve seen it happened before. Try getting it fixed before hand as it’ll be a piece of mind.
Local shops quoted $1200.
Hey, I just turned in my 2015 Genesis last months. I did the pre-inspection, where a person comes and inspects your car at your house before your lease runs out. This gives you a chance to get any faults found fixed at any other place. What he finds and charges, is what Hyundai will eventually charge. If you just want a rough estimate, the HMF website has an estimate page here: https://www.hmfusa.com/lease-end-self-assessment/?icid=menu4
For example, I had a 2 foot crack in my front windshield, and 2 rock-chips. The estimate on the website said $305 for the window, which is what the pre-inspection had down, and which eventually Hyundai charged me after receiving the car.
Get in touch with Hyundai Finance to get the number for your pre-inspection provider ASAP. My front bumper had a crack in it, but they only charged for a scratch. My total out of pocket was $500 (with scratch+window) at the end of the lease. If I had gotten those fixed at body-shop/window replacement places, it would’ve cost me more than $800. I feel like Hyundai charges Sonata/Elantra prices for the Genesis repairs!

That is awesome and exactly the type of info I was hoping to hear. If I lease another Genesis I might not have to pay a thing.
Yeah! I wouldn’t be driving a Mercedes C300 had Genesis released their G70 on schedule!
Someone on LH that prefers Genesis over Mercedes??? Scandal!

I go for bang for the buck, haha. I got the $38k, 2015 Genesis for $300/mo with $800 in drive-offs. I got a $48k, 2018 C300 loaner for $345/mo with $500 in drive-offs.

I hear ya. I’m in the same boat. C300 is a little small and slow for me though
Hopefully, they offer some decent lease deals soon.

FYI guys. Genesis lease end values are way off. $24,355 residual and car max offered me $19k.

It seems like buying a lightly used Genesis might be the way to go these days.
Too bad I have zero confidence in the long term reliability of the car (and more importantly the brand).
Need to do some research.

My payoff was about $29k and the dealer I turned to car in had it last listed for $23.5k. I don’t know if it was sold to a customer for about that price or it went to auction but the car did sit in the lot for about 3 months with price dropping by $1k every few weeks…
After 45k miles the only problems I have had was dealer related.
Looks like I’m in the same boat as a couple of you. I have to schedule my pre-inspection and turn in my 2015 Genesis Ultimate in late August (in NJ).
Lease numbers for a 2018 Genesis Sport or Ultimate are absurd (at least $100 more per month than what I pay now). Hoping that I can find another good value lease in a car with a decent amount of technology and that is at least somewhat fun to drive (hired lease broker Benedetto to see if he can help as well).
I think the Genesis is a good car. The problem is that there are other cars with a better pedigree for the same or less money. There isn’t many being sold and I don’t see me leasing another. Maybe this company will be short lived. I read they only sold 700 some units last month across the country.

And there is zero reason to deal with a huandi dealership for service and support if you can go to Lexus or Infiniti etc
