posted about getting my dream car last year and two days ago, i made it happen!
after weeks of searching, i was very lucky to find an old korean gentleman in Houston, Texas (5 hours away) whose goal is to get the deal done as cheaply as possible for his customers (who are mostly korean) because he loves his country and the brand he is selling (serious). he basically shaves off all of his own profit (he apparently only gets paid around 100 per car he sells).
i put down 10k at first but then the finance people were being kind of rough about financing so i put down an additional $3000 to shut them up and get a more appealing APR. that plus a $500 bonus that the korean salesman managed to pull off somehow.
the man is like 75 years old and has three children who are successful professionals but he still works because he loves what he does for his customers.
the other salespeople at the dealership did appear appalled at what he was trying to do, and tried to raise the price at every opportunity while i was trying to sign (like adding $1500 to the total price between negotiations and signing. mysteriously, with NO explanation. and when i asked them wtf that was, he just said, "hmm... i don't know how that got there. i'll take it off for you." -___-;; ). but in the end, they cut the korean salesman a lot of slack because he brings a TON of business to the dealership from the korean population.
without further ado,
the car:
2010 Genesis Coupe 2.0 Turbo
Nordeshleife gray
$28k including tax, title and license (most other buyers pay over 30k for this specific trim)
Track Trim - Infinity premium audio, proxy key entry with push-button start, sunroof, PLUS leather seats, 19 in. alloy wheels, Brembo braking system, track-tuned suspension, Torsen LSD, HID Xenon Headlights
shitty picture quality does not do the car justice:
you can find better pics of the car and other genesis coupes here and here
thank you, donators of Harrah's New Orleans and the rest of the world for giving me a starting roll that made this possible.
it's PURRRTYYY~~ @_@

at first when reading ur post I was a little skeptic with that story but 28k I do think u got a pretty good deal
invoice and msrp price seems around 25 - 27k
at least it's obv you were far from ripped off
very nice - I'm jealous as it's a total upgrade from my car - a good outside color pick too tho if ur in Texas I hope u have covered parking and black interior is constant cleaning (speaking from experience)
and it is fully loaded like sunroof/moonroof heated seats right?
again well done  |

I think it's fucked up they don't put the V8 in it like they do the sedan. FFS a Korean muscle car would be awesome. |

fully loaded is correct!
invoice for the 2.0T Track is 26k and the MSRP is 27.5k. add TTL and it comes out to around 30.5k so 28k out the door was a pretty sweet deal when lots of dealerships are setting up waitlists for this car and the manufacturer not offering any dealer rebates atm.
i was actually on the verge of tilting when i couldn't find the deal that i wanted. i waited, though... and called like 10+ dealerships in two states and i finally found the salesman of my dreams lol. i'm actually from lousiana so i had to drive about 400 miles to pick up this car xD |
