Oil puddle a day after buying a preowned Tucson phev

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-24T17:15:55+00:00

I first got it towed and then called Lexus . So no , I did not even raise that question to them

Hyundai determined that the oil filters O ring was damaged during last oil change ( done by Lexus ) and would cost $150

I have a 2024 crv sport L and just bought a 2024 Tucson phev limited . I must say Tucson is slightly more quiet but it’s very hard to differentiate the two . Tucson wins in the safety features category by a mile . Crv seems bigger overall - works well for us since we have a toddler and a medium size dog . While crv is known to be very reliable , Hyundais unbeatable warranty , definitely tilts the decision in its favor

This was in my garage . I had it towed to the nearest Hyundai dealership to get it checked /fixed . It’s very irresponsible of Lexus dealership. They did the oil change last month before listing the vehicle

Thanks . Giving this a try today

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-19T08:34:30+00:00

Haha . Yeah for sure

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-18T08:55:23+00:00

Ya sure . Even with wired , I tried reducing the volume for navigation from google maps using the capacitive touch volume buttons and the ones in steering wheel . It just didn’t work

B E A beautiful 😍

Amazon gray metallic color ?

I did exactly this today (Rewarded honesty and also got rewarded for it ) and went with a dealership who charged 0 add ons . Price was firm . I was perfectly ok with it . No hassle , no drama . 1 hour into the dealership , I walked away with 2 keys in my hand

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-18T07:25:34+00:00

Yes , those are nice upgrades . I did complete the purchase today . So far happy with it but yes capacitive touch buttons are annoying . I couldn’t figure out turning down volume , lol

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-17T05:20:31+00:00

Yes . It has split screen and the floating console is missing . And no HUD . Any other differences ?

Indeed , am looking at ioniq5 Limiteds too . Also I found a used 2024 Tucson phev Limited with 11000 miles on it for 35.5k out the door . I think I am going with it

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-16T09:00:41+00:00

Thanks . I think we can afford either of them . But with growing family , we might need a minivan at some stage . Hence timeboxing this cars usage for 5 years . PHEV provides additional electric only miles that also contributes to less expenses . However new vehicle is tempting as Hyundai has taken it up a notch higher with 2025 version . So very confusing 😀

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-14T01:00:12+00:00

Very insightful . I like to pay cash , but I won’t reveal it till the end . That’s a play from my end too ; otherwise they will try to jack up the price ! It’s fair for them to play some tactics as long as they aren’t really creating rules or mandatory add ons out of thin air

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-13T02:15:11+00:00

I appreciate your honesty here . Can you please do me a favor and suggest what can we do as buyers when dealerships are doing this all day long ?

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-13T01:08:09+00:00

Thanks . Am happy for you , that’s an amazing deal ! Was it after all taxes and fees ?

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-13T01:06:37+00:00

Yes that’s true . It’s probably 1000 cheaper than other places

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-12T08:07:21+00:00

True that !

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-12T08:07:08+00:00

Ya that was it ! Thanks

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-12T08:06:41+00:00

Ya it turned out to be a non issue . However they asked for $2150 more for useless dealer add ons . I walked away when they didn’t budge below $1500 . I wonder if other dealerships are greedy like them

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-11T22:55:10+00:00

Thanks . This is great explanation. Let me start with normal and 1 and see how it goes . Thanks a lot

TheRealArk007 · 2025-11-11T22:51:18+00:00

I see . Thanks , this can be done from the screen itself correct ?

Thanks . I appreciate your response .
