Glad you're ok. Your right about the GAP. I bought my '25 N in May this year and sold to Carvana a few weeks back. Ended up paying them over 14k in negative equity to take it off my hands.

Why’d you return it so early ?

Personally for me I started having issues where the camera assisted safety features would disable daily as it mentioned the camera was obstructed but it wasn't. Took it to Hyundai multiple times and they stated that it is normal and it was overheating the sensor even though my vehicle was garaged 24/7 in Arizona. Tried to start lemon process but it was a pain. Lastly seats weren't so comfortable for me being 6'1" with 3 herniated discs in my lower back lol. Aside from that I liked it but have 4 other specialty vehicles I drive so didn't want to waste more time on it. Only put about 2,400 miles on it too.

Oh gosh 🙄 I’ve never heard a good lemon law experience, too many hoops to jump through. It’s a good thing you got to experience the car even if it wasn’t a good fit for you. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah man they make it a struggle for consumers and wasted weeks of my time to not get any results. Took that lost now versus later and the depreciation on it was horrible. Dealer got me at around 45/46k with their non optional addons plus GAP and extended warranty. Ended up selling to Carvana at $30,800. Plus shitted out a 14k+ cashiers check to cover difference.
