Congrats on your new ride. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with switching from Lexus to Hyundai. Hyundai's are very reliable. I have a tiborun and believe it or not, it's been more reliable than my IS.
And those guys at Lexus of Bellevue are really slimeballs. I was interested in getting an ISF a few months ago, and they were so pushy, rude and hard to deal with that made me leave. I have also noticed they Have so many high mileage CPOs compared to other Lexus dealers in the area.

Congrats on the new car! I'd be interested to see where you net out in a couple of months - though you probably won't still be around here. I bought my IS less than a year ago and it was a lucky last minute find. I was 2 days away from buying a 3.8 Track Coupe.
The IS was much more practical to my lifestyle and since I considered both I realize you can't really compare the two. I'm curious how you came to the decision of getting the Genesis (though in your original post, you sound just as surprised as some of us!)
What made you decide on the Genesis? Not so much over the IS, but over any other car in that same price range?

I can't say you made a good financial decision. You just bought a car the wrong way- based on monthly payments and years, rather than on rates, sticker price, invoice price, rebates, and bargaining off of that. The dealer likely made a lot of money here and they absolutely LOVE transactions like these. And no dealer ever gives high dollars for a trade in. You simply can't expect that. Always sell a car privately if you want something fair.
Most importantly, never buy a car off of emotions. You went way off course because you were angry with one dealer. When the dust settles and the newness wears off, there's a risk you will regret this and start eyeballing Lexus and Infinitis again.

hey man, don't knock marriage and kids... they didn't "ruin" my 2dr years. In fact, having kids gave me the "leverage" I needed to get my IS 
-- I HAD to have four doors, so I picked the 4dr I wanted 
New car looks nice! Not a huge fan of the brand, but seems they have been getting better of the past few years. Enjoy!

Well, I cant speak for anyone else, but I would never flame anyone for this.
I just dont understand the purchase logic, other than getting what you want...but hey, its not my money.
Again, nice car bud, I am sure I will see you driving around seattle/tacoma in the coming months.

Give it props that I miss the power seats, more trunk room, and AWD but those are the only things I miss from the IS250 awd. I will ikely buy another Lexus in about 1-3years considering prices.
I LOVE the 2010+ LS460 and a IS350awd is a maybe so you just never know.
My only debt with my 60k/yr job is my new mortgage of 1275/mo (but I have a roommate paying 750/month so that's gonna be less), onle credit card with 2k on it, and my car....so it's likely another lexus won't be too far off.
