I'm waiting to see what happens to used Genesis prices after the 2018 models hit the market. 2015 leases expire and the new AWD 5.0 will convince some 5.0 owners to upgrade. We're pushing the $30K barrier now so I'm expecting the 2015 5.0s to dip into the mid/high $20Ks. Interestingly, the 2016 prices aren't much higher.

The V8 didn't make it to the US for the 2016 model year. So if you wanted a 5.0 not under the new Genesis brand it was 2015 or get the older body style for 14 and earlier.
