Is it weird that I wouldn't even consider the Gen Coupe? I just feel like if you're not after the handling of the 86, there are so many more muscle-y cars out there to choose from that will be better than the Genesis. If you're a fan of torque, I'd take a used BMW 1-series over a Gen Coupe any day. There are just so many interesting cars out there (especially in the used market) that you can get for $25k that seem like they'd be more interesting than the Genesis.

I also totally agree with Dave-- if you're going to buy used, go private party. There are really nice cars to be found out there for totally reasonable prices-- you've just got to take your time and find one of them. Go see the car / meet the owner in person if you can. You can learn a lot about the car by meeting the owner and observing how they drive the car.
