Hey guys,

I currently own a genesis coupe and looking to upgrade to a Z in a couple months, just want to say hi to everyone and let you know how excited I am to finally getting into a Z.

Please feel free to provide any tips what to look out for in a used Z, please feel free to chime in, this is my first time buying a used vehicle so any tips would be greatly appreciated

No one has replied because we can't talk to Gen Coupe people

Lol, welcome to the forum, feel free to PM me when you go buy me car and I'll meet you up. Just buy one at or less than the KBB trade in value

XiP · 06-03-2013, 05:03 PM

welcome

Zbrah · 06-03-2013, 05:26 PM

LOL I feel you on the gencoupe comment. The gc was an impulsive pick up and I honestly regretted that decision just a few months into owning it. It looks good (imo) and I get so much car for the money, but as the saying goes " you get what you pay for".

But ultimately it's my fault that I didn't do my due diligence to research the car prior to buying it. I'll be spending a lot time on this forum to learn from the veterans here before I pull the trigger on my Z.

Congrats!! What color is your Z? For sure I'm looking to pick up a PW base or touring model w/sport package & 6spd. I'm in the Anaheim/Buena park area but work in Fullerton.

thanks! The gc interior works for me, i just wish it was better assembled...My 3 year old car with only 15k miles rattles and creaks like a 20 year old Honda, and that's not the worst of all its problems.

Good luck on your Z purchase! Tell us what you plan on getting i.e. year model, color, 7AT or 6MT, base/sport/nismo.

Zbrah · 06-03-2013, 11:56 PM

Thanks axmea! I been checking out pics of your beautiful Z in the PW thread

Im also in the market for a PW Z... 6spd with the sport package, would love to get in a touring with leather and nav but that maybe hard to come by as I'm looking for a low mileage vehicle and staying with in my budget of 27-28k. I saw a few members with custom leather seats so that could be something I can add later.

Good call on joining the forum before getting your Z

Thanks for the warm welcome bro.
I never really did put a lot effort into building my genesis since I wasnt planning on keeping it. I did accumulated bunch of parts hoping to put it on a newer gc but I ended up selling all of the stuff. Here are some pics, just to share per your request, nothing fancy so please excuse my less than novice photography, I don't own a fancy camera and I don't have the skills of some of you guys on here
