Headquarter Genesis

Throughout the leasing process Tony has been been very professional. He has answered most of my questions before I ask them. I always felt comfortable while going through the contract process. Tony's explanation of how to use all the various devices was clear and concise.

Great experience with both sales and finance dept. I ended up getting $8750 in incentives to get me where I wanted to be for a monthly payment.

They listened. They responded to my questions and needs.

So, the car I purchased had been on the lot since February (i.e. pretty much the first shipment since Genesis vehicles were stalled in Port due to the dealership franchising debacle that stalled the release of any 2019 Genesis products in Florida, Texas, California and Washington (and a few other states).

I had test driven it a few times, and kept trying to get a match on a deal a buddy got in NJ which included Circle A Plan pricing, the base money factor rate (the subsidized value thats a special/incentive rate from Genesis), and additional dealer discounts. The last bit was the bone of contention. After visiting or calling nearly every FL dealer, I couldn't get that done.

I had made plans to go to NJ to pick up one they had on their lot, they could match the price, but at 12k/yr vs 15k my friend got.

I contacted Tony just in case and he said he would see what he could do. I was contacted back that they could and scheduled an appointment.

The first paper the sales manager brought was an amount of just circle a plan and th available incentives (which any dealer could provide). They explained they had no wiggle room and I was again ready to walk. They came back later with a payment that was $10/mo higher than the deal I would get in NJ and I signed the papers as the cost of plane tickets and shipping would nullify that $360 additional savings.

Unfortunately after everything went through and was signed, it got kicked back from Genesis Finance. The immediate FICO auto score was fine to get the vehicle at the best Money Factor rates and approve the loan, however, I this was my first auto loan as previously I had just bought in full in cash. I needed a cosigner, which I understood; having a thin credit profile (albeit with a good score) could let me walk on pretty much any Hyundai product, but as this vehicles MSRP was $52,000 I would understand their finance company's want for an additional signature.

Unfortunately, my cosigner wouldn't be able to make the long trip from home to Sanford. Tony drove nearly 2.5 hours one way just to bring the paperwork to sign.


There was also an additional mixup later on where my precious vehicle didn't qualify for loyalty as it was a 2015 Genesis sedan and didn't count for the discount (only Genesis branded vehicles from 2017+ would, though every dealer I had called said mine should work, this would be a logical assumption to make, so no blame here. It came as a surprise to all of us.) The general manager texted the paper that needed to be signed because luckily, another car in the family qualified for the conquest discount which equaled the loyalty. I was able to have that signed and sent back to the dealer.


Overall, there were a few hurdles that had me worried, but the dealership handled them well and as timely as possible. None of these issues were the fault of the dealer and were handled with professionalism.

The sales experience from Tony was excellent. He cares a lot about his customers. We will most likely purchase another vehicle from him for my fiance within the next couple of years.

I'd really give Tony a chance, especially if you're seeking a Genesis product. I'd even consider it if you were out of state.

great

Buying this car was easy and painless all thanks to Francisco. He was helpful and informative but most importantly he was not pushy and did not try to talk me into anything. The first time I went to look at the Genesis I told him there were a couple of other makes I wanted to consider and I so appreciated that he respected that and did not call me and bug me. I have walked out of other dealerships because of pushy salesmen, so he made a very big impression on me. From a practical standpoint, the car really sells itself. It is a beautiful car with everything you could want on it and more.

salesman very good.

I highly recommend Nick and the team at Headquarter Genesis—they were extremely helpful and made the entire process painless!

Didn't feel comfortable in the dealership
