Greeted by a 20+ know nothing that couldn't talk about the relative attributes of the Azera I asked to see and only could talk 'intelligently' about how much cheaper it was vs. the Avalon I drove in with. His associate on the sales floor that afternoon was even worse, and I think he was 'sales manager' for the day. Seriously, all they wanted to talk about was price, thinking, I guess, that everything must be qualified in such a manner. A big city dealer BTW but is Hyundai really the training ground for nubie car salespeople, because they sure as hell don't train them. IMO, it is easy to sell something when it is the cheapest, much more difficult when it isn't - because then, heaven forbid, you might actually have to know something about what you are trying to sell. How, I ask, can that same caliber of salesperson then sell something called a Genesis that really does offer some things worth talking about?

Replying to: captain2 (Jun 25, 2009 1:28 pm) Do some shopping at other dealerships and you'll find incompetence is, unfortunately, not limited to a few salespeople at Hyundai. And you'll find competent, even exceptional sales people exist at Hyundai dealers. We have discussed here how HMA has provided special training on the Genesis for its dealerships. Just because you didn't talk with one of those people doesn't mean Hyundai doesn't train their salespeople or that all of them are incompetent. If I made my car buying decisions based on whether I had ever talked with an incompetent sales person, I would probably be riding a moped now.

Replying to: bobad (Jun 25, 2009 12:42 pm) ????? I don't know, I still see none on the road here in south jersey (near Philly). The dealer I bought mine from has plenty to choose from (at least 15-20) and the same ones were there when I picked up my plates two weeks later. There were no marketing adjustments of any kind and the first offer was $100 over invoice and I easily brought them down to a couple hundred under, plus $1000 rebate, plus 1.44% interest on the lease. They can't be selling that great! |

Replying to: tjc78 (Jun 25, 2009 4:20 pm) A question for the owners. Are the badging screwed down or held by double stick tape? I like to debadge all my vehicles and was wondering if that would be possible.

Replying to: obyone (Jun 25, 2009 8:08 pm) For their advertising dollars they will get much more return running an ad on Sonatas, Elantras and Santa Fe's. Are the badging screwed down or held by double stick tape? I am afraid you are not gonna like this answer... the "H" on the deck lid is taped on but has 2 studs that stick through. So you would have to have it filled and painted (not worth it IMO) However, you could order a wing logo like many other owners did. I am not sure about the "Genesis" badge on the lower right of the trunk.
