2023 Genesis G70 — pPI found $1,800 of upcoming work

Inspection found several real maintenance items but nothing catastrophic. I still like the car. Do you treat the shop estimate as a dollar-for-dollar negotiation point or just decide whether the asking price still makes sense?

Get the messy numbers in writing first. A written buyer’s order on the 2023 Genesis G70 is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. On “ppi found $1,800 of upcoming work,” that was the fork that mattered for me. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. That's my plan before I call anyone.

If I were shopping this, if they're pushing term length to shrink the payment, the 2023 Genesis G70 price probably got worse. That's the part that actually changes the decision. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. Worth doing even if the car feels fine right now. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Treat this like a math problem, not a vibe. Keep sale price, trade, and financing split on the 2023 Genesis G70 so a “good payment” cannot bury a worse deal. Do that before you talk monthly again. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. PPI guy I use is booked until next week, so I'm waiting.

I'd slow the salesperson down here. I would not wire money until I've seen the 2023 Genesis G70 and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. That's the part that actually changes the decision. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Calling insurance in the morning before I reply to the desk.

Get the messy numbers in writing first. GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2023 Genesis G70 numbers without them. Do that before you talk monthly again. On “ppi found $1,800 of upcoming work,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. I screenshotted the quote for later.

Fair point. Counterpoint: I would not wire money until I've seen the 2023 Genesis G70 and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. Then the comparison gets honest. This is from a 2023 Genesis G70 in Houston. Did the worksheet show tax yet? This is me being the wet blanket on purpose.
