WP0EB091XHS170121
Summary:
• Hagerty condition 2.5 to 3 car with great looks and performance. A great driver and local show car that's loads
of fun to drive and gets all the looks.
• This is not going to be a collector or concours car. It's a "true miles unknown" car with blemishes and will
eventually need a top end rebuild (smoking on deceleration).
Details:
• 123K miles ("true miles unknown") due to odometer gear replacement by previous owner. AutoCheck confirms
mileage was not set correctly after odometer gear replacement but I have a clean and clear Virginia title.
• Marine Blue with completely refurbished new gray leather interior including newly recovered seats, door panels,
new carpet throughout, new sound system with remote. No cracks in dash and all controls work perfectly. Has manual
override button to activate power top without turning car off (handy if you get caught out in a storm and have to
get the top up in a hurry without having to turn the car off).
• Excellent top-- custom programming of key fobs to raise and lower power top
• Matching navy blue Tonneau cover and front bra also included
• Recently refinished factory Fuchs (16x6 front and 16x7 rear)
• H5s and Euro tail lenses
• B&B exhaust and cat-bypass pipe fitted; original muffler and brand new cat also available
• Carrera tail in black currently fitted; Turbo tail in Marine Blue available; original grill also included if
the new owner prefers no tail
• Everything works as it should other than AC which needs to be recharged.
• Even the shift light works properly!
• All services up to date including fresh oil (Valvoline VR1 20w50 -- with the extra ZDDP) and filter change;
recent K&N air filter fitted
• New rear sway bar mounts and bushings recently fitted
• New shifter bushings (not yet installed)
• 2 new front tires and professional 4-wheel alignment just completed
• Shows well, but some blemishes, dings and scratches can be found on front bumper, lower valence, rear bumper,
and passenger rear quarter panel.
• Occasional smoke condition on deceleration but drives and handles excellent!
• Has had front pan replaced due to an overcharged (leaky) battery
• Comes with original toolkit, jack, owner's manuals, some recent records, original spare, 2 programmed key fobs
with remote top functions
• Overall a great driver that looks the part and has lots of upside potential as the G50s are getting harder to
come by.
Previously asking $32,600 - Reduced to $26,950 obo - Hagerty-based realistic pricing. Rebuild the heads for $5k to
fix the valve seals and sit on it for a year and it's likely to be a $45K+ car.
Please inquire for a link to my Google Drive with some additional images including more under body shots.
I have had inquiries on the "TMU" title. To clarify, all this means is that because a previous owner replaced the
odometer gear and the miles were set incorrectly they checked the box on the title which indicated the true mileage
was unknown. The AutoCheck report available above confirms this and hence, the low AutoCheck score. There is no
problem with the title.

Tesla, Porsche and Genesis top Consumer Reports owner satisfaction survey
Fri, Dec 22 2017Tesla swept Consumer Reports' latest Ownership Satisfaction Survey results, notching the top spot among brands evaluated. Its Model S also netted the No. 1 spot among the top 10 most-satisfying cars. Porsche and Genesis, Hyundai's new luxury spinoff, rounded out the top three brands. The bottom of the rankings was anchored by Acura, while Mercedes-Benz notched the least-satisfying car in the survey with the GLA, proving that the results weren't equally kind to all luxury brands. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, told USA Today those brands suffered by introducing cheaper vehicles. The scores, on a 100-point scale, reflect whether owners say the vehicles from model years 2015 through 2018 met their expectations and whether they would buy the same car again. They measure ratings in six categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, audio and climate systems (what, no cupholders?). Effectively, it gauges how much people liked the car they bought. Reliability is not considered. The Honda Ridgeline outscored competitors in the compact pickup segment by a wide margin, while the Ford F-350 was among the top 10-ranked vehicles in the survey, the first time in at least five years that a pickup made it into the top 10, Consumer Reports said. In the brand survey, Chrysler rose four places to No. 4 on strong customer satisfaction with the Pacifica minivan, while Hyundai tumbled 11 spots to No. 24 and Lexus fell eight places to 18th. Rounding out the top 10 most satisfying cars were the Porsche 911, Chevrolet Corvette, Lincoln Continental, Mazda MX-5 Miata, Toyota Prius, Tesla Model X SUV, Honda Odyssey minivan and Dodge Challenger. Not surprisingly, most of those cars, and indeed most of the high-ranking brands, are those with strong brand loyalty, fan-like followings and/or those that strike a strong emotional chord with buyers. The full brand rankings are below. Tesla (90) Porsche (85) Genesis (81) Chrysler (78) Audi (76) Mazda (76) Subaru (76) Toyota (76) Honda (75) Lincoln (75) Mini (73) Ram (73) Kia (72) Chevrolet (72) BMW (72) GMC (72) Ford (70) Lexus (70) Volvo (69) Dodge (68) Jeep (68) Mercedes-Benz (67) Volkswagen (67) Hyundai (67) Buick (66) Cadillac (64) Infiniti (60) Mitsubishi (58) Nissan (58) Acura (58) Related Video: Green Genesis Porsche Tesla Ownership satisfaction
Genesis cars win accolades, offer value — so why are sales so bad?
Tue, Jul 31 2018My high-school buddy Brent Cormier was so smitten with the Genesis G80 when he saw it at an event I hosted at SXSW in 2016 he bought a used 2013 Hyundai Genesis a short time later and fell in love with the car. "It surpasses my every expectation," said Cormier, a self-described "renaissance man" who owns and runs a real estate agency with his wife Laura, is a food service executive chef and part owner of Austin-based Thin the Herd Guitars. "I was locked into Mercedes and Audi for 10 years," he added. "And felt trapped in an endless pit of maintenance costs." After owning the Genesis over the past two years — including using it as an Uber and Lyft driver to earn extra cash — Cormier learned what some frugal luxury sedan buyers and a handful of car reviewers have discovered: Genesis offers great bang for the buck compared to other premium brands and can compete with the best in terms of performance, features and comfort. Hyundai's luxury brand also earned a prominent third-party endorsement last week when for the first time Genesis topped J.D. Power's 2018 APEAL study, surpassing German luxury-performance icon Porsche. The APEAL study (which stands for Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) "measures owners' emotional attachment and level of excitement across 77 attributes," ranging from performance to comfort, and asks nearly 68,000 owners of new 2018 models to score vehicles on a 1,000-point scale. In its second year ranked as a stand-alone brand, Genesis earned an APEAL score that bumped it up 15 points to 884 and helped push it past Porsche — and past BMW, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, Cadillac, Land Rover and Lexus, in order of ranking. Last month, Genesis also topped J.D. Power's Initial Quality Survey (IQS) for the first time this year. And both its models were awarded Top Safety Pick Plus ratings by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, among 11 Plus ratings in all for Korean vehicles. Despite high J.D. Power rankings and great reviews, Genesis U.S. sales were off 50 percent for the first six months of 2018 compared to 2017, and in June Genesis sold only 796 vehicles — the first time U.S. numbers dropped below 1,000 in a month. Part of Genesis's APEAL and IQS success can be attributed to its small product lineup: just two models, the G80 and G90 sedans, with a third, the 2019 G70, launching later this year. And while those numbers may help in J.D.
Jaguar F-Type coupe to cost more than convertible?
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Jaguar may price the much-rumored F-Type Coupe above the F-Type Convertible, if a report from Australia's Drive is to be believed. What makes Jag think that such a pricing strategy would work? Porsche. Take a look at the German manufacturer's consumer site, and you'll notice that the Boxster is less expensive than the Cayman, despite being essentially the same car.
It's a fair point, and a price premium does a good job of emphasizing the sporting chops of the coupe over the open-air experience that normally entitles convertibles to higher MSRPs. It's unclear just how closely Jaguar will follow Porsche's example, though.
Both the Cayman and Cayman S boast an extra ten horsepower over a Boxster or Boxster S, and while this bump in grunt is negligible in every situation but an argument over which is "best," it isn't something to be ignored in the F-Type, particularly as cranking more power out of its supercharged engines should be a rather simple matter.
