All I asked them was a simple question

When is the new G70 going to be available?

This is the reply:

Subject: We have the mystery van

“Hey KingTChalla, Allow myself to introduce myself, my name is Shawn Workman and I am THE internet specialist. Give me a call at xxx-xxx-xxxx. Do you have a trade in? How much of a down payment do you currently have? What’s your credit score? What kind of car do you want? Do you want a car, truck, SUV or majestic mini van (party like its 1995, am I right?) We have a great selection of both new and used, so if something catches your eye then, c’mon down and lets schedule a test drive and get you rolling.”

Received an actual reply from the Genesis-rep much later

“Hi , From what I have been told is that we will no longer carry Genesis at this location and once our last few G80s are sold that will be the last vehicles we carry from them. They are an amazing brand but I believe they will be building their own dealerships sometime in the near future from what I was told.”

Dealerships, Man I tell ya...SMH

P.S. Two other dealerships gave a non-BS reply that they are expecting it either in August or September, Not 100% confirmed though. For those who were wondering.

Me: I just want to do a deal over email and can only come in to take delivery.

Them: Okay awesome, when can you come in so we can go over the numbers?

This is my car shopping life right now.

I have a “burner” email account just for this. I didn’t actual use my personal account until I was 99.9% sure this was one of the 2 cars I was actually going to buy.

They add you to all kinds of spam lists almost immediately.

Google seems to automatically flag dealers as spam. I find that funny.

Out of the many dealers I emailed in southern California, only two got that I didn’t want to come in unless I was buying the car. The one I did end up buying it from did ask once if I wanted to come in and test drive the cars, but I said no, I know I’ll love them, and I’m a VW nut. She got it.

The other dealer I dealt with was super cool and upfront about not being able to match Santa Monica on the cars. I really appreciated that frankness.

My batting average was better with local BMW and MB dealers, but it still amazes me how many just use the web to try to get you in, and how the closest dealers to me act like they have a monopoly on my business.

Yeah mine isn’t a burner but it’s a yahoo account that I don’t use much.

For the record, I am already more than halfway through your plan.

Here in Mexico its common for people to pay dealers to do the emissions inspection of cars, when I got my car inspected I met a guy from a dealership driving a Tucson that told me that they had “a new model” coming out in August. Maybe this guy was lying, maybe he wasn’t but I’m expecting a g70...

I’m curious when it will be available as well. I’m helping someone replace their 4 series convertible with something with a lower lease payment but still sporty and more practical. I’ve got him narrowed down to an Alfa Guilia and the Genesis G70. He’d also consider a 3 series but likes having the latest and greatest, where he’d be getting a 3 series shortly before a new model debuts.

I think it might be worth the wait. The reviews have been heaping praise on it. This one came out today: http://www.autoguide.com/manufacturer/genesis/2019-genesis-g70-review

But then again, one cannot go wrong with a well-optioned 3 series IF he can afford it.

I think it will take time for the old managers to leave the industry and the younger and smarter guys start running things who come up with other ways to piss us off.
