Oddly, my father started buying Hyundais new every two years back in the late nineties. He'd only put a few thousand miles on it and trade for another. His last one was a 2006 Azera Limited Ultra. He couldn't wait to show off all the neat little gizmos to me. In August 2008 he called me up and asked if I wanted to have it, no strings. He had bought a Toyota truck. I flew from Kansas and picked it up in NC. It was the last time I saw my dad alive. He died the next month. I still have the Azera. It's my daily driver. It only has 78K miles.

The guy I use for shuttling me to the airport drives an Equus. Sadly his isn't the "Ultimate package" although it does have the reclining passenger side seat. It's a nice car and he says he has put about 150k on it and the service is a lot cheaper than the Maybach they used to have in the fleet (so much cheaper, they dumped the Maybach). It isn't as nice as the S class, which just has better leather and overall feel, but if I was running a towncar service, I would buy this over the Mercedes.
Saw one of these on a mall parking lot in MD and I was floored at this thing....It was black with Chrome wheels and it had tinted windows and it was clean as a whistle.
I always like the look of the Equus, but when I saw the G90, I knew I wanted one. I've had my 2017 Ultimate 5.0 almost 2 years. Other than a few issues covered under the 5 year/60K mile warranty, it's been an amazing car. Just be warned the Service isn't Lexus level or close, yet.

That would be a waste of space and money just to impress people who come over every now & then.
because western world nature is so poor including their poor mindset and mentality. so even the simplest thing in rich Asia is complicated and expensive for them. poor them. history the last thousands of years has said all how poor they are the western world including middle east as their servants. they tried to conquer world but they never succeed and will never be.
I spent July in South Korea. Hyundai and Kia models everywhere. South Koreans went big on their cars and just happened to be exactly what the American car market wanted. The Sonata is a huge car and so are the G80 and G90. We look at Hyundai and think “econobox”. South Korea treats Hyundai and Kia like America treats Cadillac and Lincoln.
Koreans buy Hyundai and Kia because of their good warranty policy in Korea. Also Koreans never buy American cars because they are shit and hate to buy Japanese because they hate each other a lot. Of course Germans and some other luxury brands like Ferrari are selling like crazy if they want something fancy and have extra money to spend.

@@fj717 I think it actually had about ~55k miles on it when I got it, it's tough to remember. It's at almost 60k miles on it now and so far so good as far as reliability. I'm getting some maintenance items taken care of late next week (oil, filters, etc). My only concern is the fuel filter is located in the gas tank and it almost definitely needs to be replaced every ~40k miles, so that one I will probably have a shop do if I can.
@@Darylrb1983 Just a 30-day warranty. I can do most stuff myself. The only thing I would really need to be concerned about is the air suspension and I replaced that in my Mercedes when I had one, so no big deal.
I don't why half the comment section is talking crap about Korean cars when most of the European cars he gets at similar mileage are in WORSE condition.
iBlewupthemoon I mean Korean cars generally are very good cars with really solid reliability ;) Just they aren't exciting (except some very rare exceptions) and they mostly are for people that don't really care about what they drive. Yes it might be more reliable than an S class or a 7 series or A8 for that matter. However the car itself the fun part the design and the esteem that comes with it is a whole different level with similar Premium german cars ;)
Yeah, I think people still think of the old Kia Spectra when thinking of the Korean brands, which is why demand isn't that high for their premium cars. But they've improved a lot since the early 2000's
Well, you could take a look at the interior on the Equus...I wouldn't even call it equal to Lexus or anything. It's not terrible, but it's just off compared to that. Not on features, on design aesthetics. Same with the exterior, all the top tier Korean luxury cars always look really generic. The designs on the German top luxury models are far more distinctive. I'm not going to say they're more reliable, they really aren't. But these cars are made for rich people who almost always lease and then after 30-40k miles they turn it in for the latest version. The second owner takes it usually to about 80-90k. Any subsequent owners are in for the high maintenance period. I don't agree with this practice, but there is a price to pay for absurd gadgets. A working top tier German luxury car is hard to rival if you're going to be honest with yourself. The Equus might last longer with lower repair costs, but it's also far less impressive looking and more bland. For $70k, not hard to see why most would have passed this up. Personally I'd much rather an LS460 over the Equus, it still lacks some personality of the Germans but it has more substance than the Equus. But you'll be paying almost twice as much thanks to that Lexus reputation and reliability. Probably the best compromise between luxury, gadgets, and long term reliability.
I have liked the Equus since the first time I saw one. I had seen it driving in the opposite direction and almost ran off the road looking at it. Then when I was in my way home saw it parked near a local diner and went in to find its owner and and get some info on the car. He was nice enough to open it up and took me for a ride. Then I definitely wanted one. But upon hearing the price immediately cancel the thought if owning one. lol But now... NOW... I might actually be able to own one. $15k you say. I'll be hunting for one now. Or maybe a Genesis if they ride as nice as the Equus. Great video. Thanks for the info and tour.
Tekela Pike my wife has the price...I LOVE this car has E V E R Y T H I N G!! I have about 6 months working at a new job-it’s about 80 miles round trip so I didn’t want to put that amount of miles on it-so I purchased a Toyota Prius and use that one-so my equus is really not being used...it has 102,000 and it is really nice-but again for the past 6 months I have not really used it-just on weekends...when my wife gets up I will let you know if price!
For anyone that questions reliability, I watched one of these roll through a wholesale auction with 200k. It looked and ran like it had a quarter of that. I’ve driven these as well, and for the money they are amazing.
Jesus...That’s is a killer price for a car of that level. With that much power and luxury... one of the used market gems for sure. Now if it’s reliable then it’s a perfect family car or luxury sedans better then buying a hell of a lot of brand new cars.
If you can get a grille for it that is more Mercedes style and do something with all that chrome trim and get rid of the badge on the hood. It might be alright.
That lady at the end reminded me of a lot of the people I knew in Rural Indiana. It was so hard to explain to them that TH-cam videos actually make money!

@eric thefathead : True, anything you use frequently seems to develop some kind of metal/plastic fatigue from wiper arms to a/c knobs to door latches and anything on dashboard....my experience only...
I saw one of these at the dealer and took it home for the weekend. It was the most impressive luxury car I have been in with the most options, and yes I've been in Bentleys and Rolls Royce.
From the day I watched this video I wanted this car so bad. I finally bought one I got a 2014 equus ultimate fully loaded under 70k miles for 15k flat!
I don’t see what the issue is with Hyundai depreciation. It’s not as bad as it once was but I would rather buy a Hyundai with depreciation and relatability then a Mercedes/bmw with depreciation AND unreliability. Kind of a no brainer. Plus I own a Hyundai and love it.
I bought a used car recently. One salesman tried to sell me a used BMW out of warranty and I shut him down immediately. Those European cars don't depreciate enough given how expensive their maintenance is.
@@stillsearching1284 lol buying any modern german car out of warranty is like buying a lit bonfire to constantly shovel your money into. Those cars are built to last for the term of a lease and then catastrophically begin to fail and bleed their second and third owners dry.
That is why I went with a gently used Subaru Outback. It's comfortable and practical. I also considered the Subaru Forrester and Honda CRV. None of those cars has a prestige badge, but I'll take reliability and practicality over prestige any day.
@Martin Gård you must have really generous terms to consider a car a salvage in europe then. Since tens of thousands of dollars in electronical and mechanical failures will do it here in the US
I have a 2012 Equus signature model... after watching this guy do a 15-second burnout... the next day I had to try it...lol... and he's right it shreds those tires like it's absolutely nothing.

Not a day goes by, that I dont get asked a dozen times what is it or comments like, I want to be like you when I grow up.. lol.. not only does it look great, the drive experience is indeed truly wonderful. I highly recommend and i only paid $17900 for all the luxury im surrounded in.
Dont forget KIA. They and hyundai for the most part are the same cars. Hyundai went the "luxury" route and Kia did "sporty". On my 3rd KDM car. Put 249k miles on my first hatch. Drove it like i stole it until i got hit by a drunk. Used the next one to commute 1000 miles a month for 3 1/2 years and its still running strong. Buy pre owned. 2 year old cars with a warranty and never look back
My father bought a 14 equus ultimate in 16, the 14 year model updated the interior quality, and went away with some features like the reclining rear seats. With only 14k mileson it, he got it for 34k less than origional sticker price. My favorite car to drive. Super smooth!
ToraxReborn sorry, we Americans have other things on our minds that distract us, like being back to back world war champs, or thinking about how we are the only humans to put boots on the ground on the moon.
There's on in the Portland OR area right now for $16, has lower miles and comes with a warranty. If you're in that area it might be worth checking out.
This video convinced me to buy this over an RT Challenger. I am very pleased with the purchase. The kids fight for the passenger rear seat. No food or drink allowed, lol.
I drove an old Hyundai excel like 20 years ago. My dad actually bought 2 of them for like $400 as spares for my siblings in case one of our dailies broke down.. Fantastic little sh*tbox. I’d have another if I could find one cheap enough.

you'd be crazy not to look at Hyundai and KIA now. I am on my 2nd KIA. The first one I drove until the warranty expired and didn't even need to change the brakes. Just oil and routine maintenance. The downside was the depreciation. I bought another one and my car payments cost less than my friends insurance per month.
But they are sooo boring! I think you are right in theory, they are great reliable cars. But they make me feel nothing. I barely even notice them on the road, would never look at one when it's time for a new car. Glad you can enjoy it though!

koreans are better in matemáticas today than german and englan.any car make in england o germany is inferior in quality to japanese and koreans brands.check the record on consumer repor.
Hyundai makes good cars and every brand has a luxury model. People are so brainwashed to think Benz and BMW are top of the line and would not even look at this car. Nice is nice I don't care. I'd buy this any day over a Benz or BMW, Rolls...etc.
i dont get the people who hate Kia and Hyundai, I've got a 2010 Kia Magentis in Scotland, 220,000 miles and no problem...No rust, engine bay is absolutely clean, if you take care of your cars, most of them will last a while :)
@Jim S. But depreciation has a lot to do about what people think about the car not always what it's really worth, as he even mentioned the car is perfectly fine and reliable, it's just such a low price because people don't think a Kia/Hyundai (Since they're both the same company now) is worth that much money as they are used to the cheap runners, imo they're great cars, better than Mercedes, and I 'm not saying Merc is bad, I'm their biggest fanboi, but in terms of reliability and price to fix things it's so much better, my dad had to pay 3,000 Euros to fix the wing mirror on his Mercedes, moneypits.
@Jim S. are you serious? American car are "reliable " ?? Or you mean some American trucks are reliable? Kia and Hyundai come on top of any survey when it comes to reliability in the US. American car are most of the time not even on the top ten. GM made so much garbage they decided to stop making sedans cause they can't sell them anymore. Are saying Chryslers are more reliable than kia and Hyundai? You got to be kidding me. Also kia and Hyundai have the best safety rating among all the brands for 2018. You need to start checking the facts.
@Jim S. Yea your right you will never see a korean car driving on the roads. Your ridiculous that is so stupid I see them everyday. Its not also like they sale almost 8million worldwide just behind toyota and Volkswagen group. They beat GM and ford and other companies.
The look on the persons face when getting tires replaced... Priceless......... So what is it again.... To quote a great man "Yes people, it's a Hyundai"
Thanks for highlighting my car! I get stopped by many people asking me what my car is and when I show them all the functions in the car, they flip out and state “but you said it’s a Hyundai?” Yes, yes it is.
And the clincher? Most of them come with a ten year 100,000 miles warranty. I thank those who have insight on the matter for charing. I've had European luxury brands who start giving problems at 30-50000 miles, if I had to do it over I would have purchased Kia or Hyundai.
That's only if you're the original buyer, otherwise its converted to 5 years (from the start of the ORIGINAL delivery too... not when you buy it used). It's still a damn good car and very reliable. I have a 2015 Equus Ultimate and its been very reliable. The only issue is some Hyundai dealers will outright refuse to work on them for some unknown reason. They claim there are "Equus authorized" dealers and you must take it to them.
5 years 50k miles if you buy it used unfortunately. considering the depretiation I can understand why they do that but yeah kind of a downer. however the original owner could have drove this all over the country and if it breaks down hyundai is REQUIRED to give them a loaner and it has to be minimum another genisis car or another equaas.
You still get the 10 year warranty if it's certified used from a Hyundai/Kia dealer. My Forte has the full original warranty, but only because it came from a Kia dealer.
Adib Beygi cause it’s not a rolls Royce 😂💀it’s basically the early version of a Genesis it’s actually really nice if you’ve ever been in one you know the system bangs and it’s fast af
This depreciated from $70k to $15k. A similarly equipped S class or 7 series would have gone from around $150k to $30k, and a Maybach would have lost several Equus in value over that same period, so I don't see any problems here. Great value and the G90 has a much better looking exterior finally.
Well this vid is a year old so we can assume people bought these after the vid making em worth more it’s still worth it for overall car value but if u want performance just buy a 2020 mustang for 25k

So true, Hyundai has come a long way! One of the most respected manufacturers. In the 1970s it was frowned upon when people bought Hondas!
2000's - hyundai is a cheap honda. 2019 - honda is a shitty hyundai.

The guy I use for shuttling me to the airport drives an Equus. Sadly his isn't the "Ultimate package" although it does have the reclining passenger side seat. It's a nice car and he says he has put about 150k on it and the service is a lot cheaper than the Maybach they used to have in the fleet (so much cheaper, they dumped the Maybach). It isn't as nice as the S class, which just has better leather and overall feel, but if I was running a towncar service, I would buy this over the Mercedes.
And how rich exactly are you that you take a Maybach / S-Class or Equus to go to the airport?

I bet they didn't had a real Maybach. Nobody would dumb a Maybach for a Equus.

I spent July in South Korea.
Hyundai and Kia models everywhere.
South Koreans went big on their cars and just happened to be exactly what the American car market wanted. The Sonata is a huge car and so are the G80 and G90.
We look at Hyundai and think “econobox”.
South Korea treats Hyundai and Kia like America treats Cadillac and Lincoln.
Koreans buy Hyundai and Kia because of their good warranty policy in Korea. Also Koreans never buy American cars because they are shit and hate to buy Japanese because they hate each other a lot. Of course Germans and some other luxury brands like Ferrari are selling like crazy if they want something fancy and have extra money to spend.

I got my 2011 Hyundai Equus Ultimate w/ 52k miles back in August for $15k and couldn't be happier :D
How's the reliability? How many miles done?
I’m guessing they let you keep the warranty too?!
@@fj717 I think it actually had about ~55k miles on it when I got it, it's tough to remember. It's at almost 60k miles on it now and so far so good as far as reliability. I'm getting some maintenance items taken care of late next week (oil, filters, etc). My only concern is the fuel filter is located in the gas tank and it almost definitely needs to be replaced every ~40k miles, so that one I will probably have a shop do if I can.
@@Darylrb1983 Just a 30-day warranty. I can do most stuff myself. The only thing I would really need to be concerned about is the air suspension and I replaced that in my Mercedes when I had one, so no big deal.
@@ChrisFromJersey see if they can mod and external filter that's easy to replace
I don't why half the comment section is talking crap about Korean cars when most of the European cars he gets at similar mileage are in WORSE condition.
It's the "German engineering" crowd. They still believe in that stuff.
iBlewupthemoon I mean Korean cars generally are very good cars with really solid reliability ;) Just they aren't exciting (except some very rare exceptions) and they mostly are for people that don't really care about what they drive. Yes it might be more reliable than an S class or a 7 series or A8 for that matter. However the car itself the fun part the design and the esteem that comes with it is a whole different level with similar Premium german cars ;)
Yeah, I think people still think of the old Kia Spectra when thinking of the Korean brands, which is why demand isn't that high for their premium cars. But they've improved a lot since the early 2000's
Well, you could take a look at the interior on the Equus...I wouldn't even call it equal to Lexus or anything. It's not terrible, but it's just off compared to that. Not on features, on design aesthetics. Same with the exterior, all the top tier Korean luxury cars always look really generic. The designs on the German top luxury models are far more distinctive. I'm not going to say they're more reliable, they really aren't. But these cars are made for rich people who almost always lease and then after 30-40k miles they turn it in for the latest version. The second owner takes it usually to about 80-90k. Any subsequent owners are in for the high maintenance period.
I don't agree with this practice, but there is a price to pay for absurd gadgets. A working top tier German luxury car is hard to rival if you're going to be honest with yourself. The Equus might last longer with lower repair costs, but it's also far less impressive looking and more bland. For $70k, not hard to see why most would have passed this up. Personally I'd much rather an LS460 over the Equus, it still lacks some personality of the Germans but it has more substance than the Equus. But you'll be paying almost twice as much thanks to that Lexus reputation and reliability. Probably the best compromise between luxury, gadgets, and long term reliability.
Very true
I have liked the Equus since the first time I saw one. I had seen it driving in the opposite direction and almost ran off the road looking at it. Then when I was in my way home saw it parked near a local diner and went in to find its owner and and get some info on the car. He was nice enough to open it up and took me for a ride. Then I definitely wanted one. But upon hearing the price immediately cancel the thought if owning one. lol But now... NOW... I might actually be able to own one. $15k you say. I'll be hunting for one now. Or maybe a Genesis if they ride as nice as the Equus. Great video. Thanks for the info and tour.

@@stillsearching1284 lol buying any modern german car out of warranty is like buying a lit bonfire to constantly shovel your money into. Those cars are built to last for the term of a lease and then catastrophically begin to fail and bleed their second and third owners dry.

Your phantom is a 2004 lmao, no wonder a 2013 car is superior.
I have a 2024 phantom
And what sucks is: That Phantom used, after 14 years, still costs as much or more as that Hyundai did when it was new.
@@behindthen0thing DoES IT FlY!!?!
John Arnold 😂😂good for you.

Hoovies Garage is the type of guy to-
Wait, this isn't Doug DeMuro
You totally missed the recycling bin, but you did land in the trash. Which is nice.
You’re one of my favorites. Your style doesn’t try to be spectacular, you know the stuff and you present yourself well. Keep up the good work.
Who just leaves a whole rolls royce outside the house
Maybe he's in a rich neighborhood
Ikr, I only leave a quarter of my Rolls Royce outside

somone who's making a youtube video

Agreed. How else will you be able to do lines? Creases in the leather? That's soo 1966.
The look on the persons face when getting tires replaced... Priceless......... So what is it again....
To quote a great man "Yes people, it's a Hyundai"
Every time he says Hyundai it gets worse and worse
He just saying “Hundy”
for me it sounds more like "Handeyy", It makes me feel physical pain
Sándor Németh literally, I couldn’t finish the video because of how he said it
*H U N D A Y*
And "my bach"
Hai un dai
I commented previously before I seen the end of the video, the end made the video even better haha!
Same lol
Bro can you give me a shoutout
Thanks for highlighting my car! I get stopped by many people asking me what my car is and when I show them all the functions in the car, they flip out and state “but you said it’s a Hyundai?” Yes, yes it is.
It's about to be 2021 but I want this car
Actually thinking of trading my Lex for one
Same bro do it
Holy HELL did he say 429 horse power ? From a Hyundai

They are fast. My friend has one and he let me drive it, scary fast
US market. Everything is more powerful there.
And the clincher? Most of them come with a ten year
100,000 miles warranty. I thank those who have insight on the matter for charing. I've had European luxury brands who start giving problems at 30-50000 miles, if I had to do it over I would have purchased Kia or Hyundai.
That's only if you're the original buyer, otherwise its converted to 5 years (from the start of the ORIGINAL delivery too... not when you buy it used). It's still a damn good car and very reliable. I have a 2015 Equus Ultimate and its been very reliable. The only issue is some Hyundai dealers will outright refuse to work on them for some unknown reason. They claim there are "Equus authorized" dealers and you must take it to them.
5 years 50k miles if you buy it used unfortunately. considering the depretiation I can understand why they do that but yeah kind of a downer. however the original owner could have drove this all over the country and if it breaks down hyundai is REQUIRED to give them a loaner and it has to be minimum another genisis car or another equaas.
You still get the 10 year warranty if it's certified used from a Hyundai/Kia dealer. My Forte has the full original warranty, but only because it came from a Kia dealer.
@@LoveStruckPair Why would you go to a dealer to fix your car? Do you enjoy being overcharged?
@@JireSoftware if its being fixed under warranty the dealer is your only option... and free isnt exactly an overcharge
WTF?!!?? 15K for that Hyundai and is has that luxury and looks nice
It doesn't look nice at all. It is not even close to Rolls-Royce design-wise.
@@edibfeyzuahbeygi2045 it does look nice almost all vehicles now use same headlights same exaust design same taillights same .....
@@edibfeyzuahbeygi2045 capitalism loves you
Adib Beygi cause it’s not a rolls Royce 😂💀it’s basically the early version of a Genesis it’s actually really nice if you’ve ever been in one you know the system bangs and it’s fast af
109K not 15..he is crazy
Drove from Reading to Tennessee and back to Reading to buy this car...paid $18,000 and I LOVE IT SOOOO MUCH COMFORT!!!!
Your daughter will love that back seat.
I have to make a daughter in that backseat first
Kevin F delete your comment dude.
@Kevin F how do you make kids doing it that way?
PAKTRA PRODUCTIONS best comment 😂
Hoovie the type of dude to eat blueberries in his Equus
is that a sin or something?
I don't know why that's funny, but it made me laugh...
This depreciated from $70k to $15k. A similarly equipped S class or 7 series would have gone from around $150k to $30k, and a Maybach would have lost several Equus in value over that same period, so I don't see any problems here. Great value and the G90 has a much better looking exterior finally.
anyone else noticed that the Equus is not a bargain anymore? I’m seeing high mileage 2012 ultimates at $20k or more
Well this vid is a year old so we can assume people bought these after the vid making em worth more it’s still worth it for overall car value but if u want performance just buy a 2020 mustang for 25k
The ones I found online had wrecks reported or salvage, a lot of them. Bummer, nice car overall.
Seems like Hoovie and Doug Demuro drove it its demand
