Off the cuff, seems like a nice car for low-$20k's, but it does have somewhat higher miles.
Thoughts on pricing?
He has plenty of funds to buy whatever he would like, but he's frugal when it comes to cars. He's coming out of a 2013 Chrysler 200 that he would have been happy to keep, but it got totaled (no fault of his).
EDIT: Just noticed there's damage reported on the carfax, so that certainly makes it more uncertain on what the right price would be.

I like the colors, but would be concerned about the dirty Carfax.

I would avoid the 2015 MY unless you can confirm the engine build is post 4/2015.

Good looking car. Coming from a Chrysler 200, I can’t imagine what he would think!

Just a skosh overpriced, however - $26,500 for a 2018 with less than 4000 miles. There are dealers in Colorado offering $2k off sticker for a new 2019.

Genesis was separate from Hyundail Hyundai again had the best swag (if you participated in their trivia game). Got a GEICO hat., Volvo had a nice showing. Somewhat low energy and uninspiring, a shame.
At the Jag dealer this morning getting annual state inspection (and they washed/vacuumed the XF, nice), in the lot a brand new (no plates) white Lamborghini Urus. Big, slick and imposing. Probably traded for an F-Pace...

I think I'm going to proactively replace it. This is the first battery where I've ever gotten a decent warning, that I noticed, before it died. The one in my Jetta died without warning, and the one in my Altima cranked slow one morning--the next morning, it was dead.
Somewhat of a trend. Dealers newer used cars can't compete with monthly leasing payments.
At $23k-ish, it’s a pretty great car.

Normally well maintained and properly charged deep cycle batteries naturally die due to positive grid corrosion causing an open connection.
…
In a hot climate, the harshest environment for a battery, a Johnson Controls survey of junk batteries revealed that the average life of a car battery was 37 months. In a separate North American study by BCI, the average life was 48 months. In a study by Interstate Batteries, the life expectancy in extreme heat was 30 months. If your car battery is more than three years old and you live in a hot climate, then your battery is probably living on borrowed time. Abnormally slow cranking, especially on a cold day, is another good indication that your battery is going bad. It should be externally recharged, surface charge removed, and load tested. Dead batteries almost always occur at the most inopportune times. You can easily spend the cost of a new battery or more for an emergency jump start, tow or taxi ride.
Most of the "defective" batteries returned to manufacturers during free replacement warranty periods are good. This strongly suggests that some sellers of new batteries do not know how to or fail to take the time to properly recharge and test batteries.
YMMV

Lesson learned: don’t be fooled by something “testing good.” Incidentally, the battery in the G37 tests right at its spec - I think it’s 600 CCA.
ditto on the new 3 series.

If I was shopping right now, the Genesis would be at the top of my list. Everything about it is impressive.
That was my last straw. I replaced it with a RedTop AGM unit, which is still in the car (well, in the 2013). I think that was early 2012. I ended up putting the bum battery, which I kept, but only used for occasional seasonal duty on my old rigs (the C20 or Econoline, and incidentally, usually worked unless I left it hooked up for more than a few weeks without use), back into the 2010 Forester when I sold it for scrap two years ago.
So, yes, there's definitely a difference between "it functions" and "it is reliable."

Apparently the exec staff was kept on, but Wyler actually bought the dealership. That’s a departure for Wyler, who usually deals in mainstream brands. Only luxury dealership he has is the Cadillac store I dealt with. First time in KY for him too, I believe.
Transaction only happened months ago.
I had shopped at the Ft Mitchell Mercedes dealer when I was looking to replace the CTS after Cadillac had to buy it back. I met the GM (Don Paparella). Nice guy. He was the first person I spoke with when I entered the showroom. Didn’t know who he was until he offered me his business card. Plus, he didn’t hand me off to a sales person, either. He talked about the store, how proud he was to be in a brand spanking new facility, etc. No real sales pitch. He lead me to a terminal which showed all of their new stock of “C’ Class cars and to let him know if I found something I liked and he would have it brought to me for a test drive. I did...nice one that was dark silver metallic with red interior (I must have a thing for red). Nothing wrong with it. It drove OK, but I just wasn’t all that excited about it.
Anyway, it was a pleasant and low key experience. The GM stayed in touch via email. That’s how I found out Wyler bought it.
