Nice price, but it also raises one of the quirks involved in buying a car like this: if you can afford to own it (not buy it; I can afford to buy it, but not own it), you can also afford to buy a newer, nicer one. So, you would actually have to want THIS Ferrari, not just any Ferrari.

As always, the sale price is just the price of admission. Sure, it looks great and it’s a driver-quality example, but be ready for Ferrari prices on the endless maintenance.

Trash company as far as I’m concerned.

My boss as well as my former boss both own Hyundais and both of them now use more than a quart of oil between fillups. So its bad. REALLY bad. And Hyundai is denying anything is wrong and refuses to fix them.

Insurance and Warranties are only as good as their willingness to pay out on claims. I’ve heard enough about sketchy Hyundai/Kia still acting like they are budget dealers that buying anything from them really is a crapshoot.

[Sideshow Mel voice] They’re allllreaddyy heeere.

They are a tech company and unfortunately, even the biggest and most experienced tech companies (ex. Apple and most video game developers) tend to release products that are not fully readily for primetime knowing that the data they collect from users will help develop future updates.

Great technology that they should just sell to a company that knows how to actually build a car.

There needs to be one for the 737 Max too.

“Do the doors line up” is not a small first-year engineering flaw.

This is the way.

For mesk-defenders saying that *all* new car owners should do this, puh-leeeeeeeeeeease.

for 88 im gonna buy a lotus emira instead.   i love their corporate sets the markup amount.  i hope they get a call about that line. 

This is just wrong. Yes, it does happen where vehicles (especially new models) have issues, but Tesla’s continuing quality concerns are not common. 

Except, this isn’t some mechanical issue hidden by engine components, or things that happen as a result of use - these are a delivery checklist of things you need to look at immediately upon delivery of the car. (Think walking around a rental car marking all the scrapes and dings when you pickup it up at the airport.)…

And yet the ‘18 Model S that my friend bought was significantly worse than the already terrible ‘12 he had. The 3 and Y his husband had were terrible too. They very happily own a pair of Ford Mach-Es now.

that’s why their most fav customers / buyers are Elon Tesla diehard fanbois

Sounds like the dealer sucks. Which is common for hyundai dealers. They’re still stuck in that 90s mentality of squeezing every penny out of everyone with no regard for repeat sales or reputation.

Regular dealerships get weird when they think they have something special and forget what they are rather then just be excited to offer a performance model.

I experienced the same thing with Toyota when the supra came out. They would not let me test drive a car without a down payment on it. Porsche had no such problems…

Hyundai really needs to get its dealership network in line, especially if they want to compete in the premium price categories. You can’t have people showing up to buy a $50,000 EV or an even more expensive Genesis and expect them to put up with the sales crew acting like the used car salesdicks from Honest Earl’s…
