Might be buying a Genesis Coupe this weekend. Thoughts?

Just hop on the genesis forums. Lots of knowledge there. I know when I was roaming their forums I learned a bit bout their cars. All other models than the 2.0 suck, and aren't worth their money.

A sample size of 1 is not sufficient sample size. Thunderhill has claimed 2 or 3 Subies in one day, therefore all Subaru's are 2 to 3 times worse that Hyundais?

Whats your plans with the car? DD or weekend fun car? Sounds like you'll be modding it, how far are you wanting/willing to go on the mods? I think if your plans are to keep it as a clean mildly modded street car, then there shouldn't be any problems with it.

Didn't end up buying one, especially after seeming next years model, cause I don't want to be the guy that buys a new one right before the new better model comes out. Example the 08 WRX STI. I'll figure it out though.

I could be wrong, but 2002 WRXs' are holding their value pretty well and worth considerably more than a 2002 BMW 3 series (craigslist.org "south bay"). Just my two cents.

My 06 STI (had I kept it) is still valued in the low 20s, even though it would be 5 years old by now.
Anyhow, it's too bad you didn't like it. The car seemed compelling at that price point.

I just looked up an 03 WRX in a private party sale in good condition is nearly $10k. If someone here posted a bugeye for $10K they'd get laughed out of the classifieds,
