I think it may be time to let this one go. This is really hard for me as this is by far the nicest car I have had and I love it. It was easy to justify the big car payment when I was driving 120 miles a day, it's a lot harder to justify keeping it around when I'm driving it less than 120 miles a month!

These cars are pretty rare. Genesis never released official sales numbers but it is safe to say there are fewer than 250 of them in the US. This one has the light grey (more of a cream color) interior. I havent seen another M/T car with the lighter interior. I bought this car new from the Genesis dealer in Savannah, GA and had it shipped to me. The M/T cars were all 'sport' models which came with the LSD and the giant Brembos. 

The car is completely stock except for the brakes. I mentioned the giant Brembos in the previous paragraph. They are amazing, but they create an absurd amount of dust. They also leave deposits on the rotors when you drive it like I did (almost all highway, never getting the brakes up to temp). I put on some new rotors and posi-quiet pads. There is nearly no brake dust now but the brakes do not rip your face off anymore. Stock rotors/pads will be included. 

Condition:

34,600 miles

I took really good care of this car. I never planned on selling this one. I had the dealer do all the oil changes (cuz free) but provided my own oil ($$$) that met the spec of the owners manual (Mobil 1 ESP).  I got it ceramic coated and it has a clear bra on the whole front of the car. Unfortunately the clear bra didn't work on a large rock that came off the back of a semi while I was passing it. There is a rock chip right on the leading edge of the hood. The clear bra is still sealed over the chip but it should probably be peeled back and touched up. I also managed to brush a curb with the front bumper cover. There is a scuff but you have to be on the ground looking up to be able to notice it. These are the only imperfections I have noticed on the body.

I did drive this car in the winter of 2020 and 1/2 of the winter in 2021. It has always been garaged and I regularly washed the salt off of it in winter. It can come with some Mustang wheels with General Altimax snow tires. The snow setup has Kia Stinger TPMS sensors which work perfect with the G70.

The interior is near perfect. I never allowed food/drinks in this car. My kids carseats are still in the backseat. I put folded towels over the seats before installing the carseats. Hopefully, they didn't leave any indentations. I can remove them for interested parties to make sure.

The only thing that the car needs in the near future is rear summer tires. The fronts are excellent. I'd be willing to put new tires of the buyers choice on the rear prior to sale if full asking price is met (Pilot Sport 4S is stock tire). 

Location: Central Illinois 

Price: $28,000

I still owe money to Genesis Finance on this. If someone is genuinely interested, I can contact them to figure out the best method for making the transaction. I am listing it on GRM first and won't list it elsewhere for a couple weeks.

I can get more detailed pics upon request. These are just random ones I found on my phone.

Contact: I think messages should get to me through the forum, if not, drop a comment.

I saw one of these in person once and thought that the blue was a wonderful color/shade.

It's gorgeous and why I had to buy it from Savannah and have it shipped to IL. It was one of 3 for sale in the US in this color with the manual transmission at the time

I have seen this car.  It is fantastic.  I am struggling to not convince myself to upgrade the Elantra GT Sport to this.  

Plus the seller is good people.

These are extremely nice. My neighbor had an Audi A6 that he swapped for one of these and he loves it.

Any interest in a 429hp v8 Genesis R Spec trade plus a stack of $100 bills? I also have a spare set of R Spec rims.

I looked at a red one today and I'll say that pictures doesn't do any justice to this car.  It looks awesome in person.

My bad, it isn't. I forgot to update this thread. I sold it to Carvana in Chicago a few weeks ago. It may be listed there? I can't bring myself to look. I'll miss this one a lot.
