Beginning my search for a maverick x3 of some sort and landed on this: 2021 with about 400ish miles on it. I’m new to this and want to know what to look for? Based on the pictures do y’all see any reason to pass? Dealer is asking 30k and I just want to be careful before I toss that much down on a used one. Took it for a test drive and noticed loud squeaks like the body flexing when coming off a curb. Besides that I couldn’t see much else other than worn parts.
Yea first they didn’t want to give me numbers unless I came in, told them I’m 4hr away, then told me about their $900 gps included and $400 batteries for life. I told them I’d probably pass on both
Ok, went back to the first one as the dealer reached back out. Took more pictures, 29k
Also have the vin. Where would I run this? Carfax? Please let me know what issues you see, thanks everyone!

This picture tells me everything I'd need to know. The inner tie rod is bent. WTF is the electrical tape mess? In all you pictures, the detail stuff screams hack job of an owner that wants to be but isn't a mechanic.
Seriously? You can't tell that machine has been neglected and beat on? The rust everywhere isn't a dead giveaway? I wouldn't give $25K for that car. If you're willing to spend $29K, there are better options. Look around for a better car. You can just about buy a new base model (if you can find one).
Yea I see what you’re saying, but the new 22s are coming in missing parts and won’t be available until almost 23. And they’re asking 35k for a ds. I just figured I’d be better off with a used higher end model and just use the warranty for major things. Im still taking all your advice into consideration, thanks!
Another tidbit to digest, dealer is offering a 3 year warranty. Personally for that, it's not enough. However, what's the deductible? I'd be shocked if it's under $200 - $250. Think about that, you bring that in 4 times for work, you're down $1000!
I don’t have fb but I’ve had friends look for me, mostly lifted rigs that have rgb and snorkels that have been mudded. It’s just the culture around here. I’m more of a Baja person myself and would rather dunes than mud.
The mystery has been solved! Ran the vin on google and here it is, came out of Orlando area, guess we know where the missing bulkhead is lol. Y’all saved my butt a lot of money!
When I was a kid, i received a good piece of advice. When you go shopping for something that cost much, take someone with you who has no interest in it. They will point out the problems to you. I my case, that is usually my wife.
Update on the search for anyone that’s interested:
Was quoted 35k for a 22 DS two seater with rockford fosgate audio roof and 6x12 trailer included.
Then got 42k for a 22 Two seater turbo RR xmr with a flip up windshield.
A 22 ds max, nothing included for 30k
thoughts on deals?
Two dealers told me that can ams website was hacked and the can’t order 23s yet and they probably won’t be in untilDecember or January. I had a test drive in the ds and damn was that thing quick, I can only imagine how the turbo rr is! My biggest concern is value. I don’t wanna lose my ass on a 22 when it’s almost 23! Nobody is budging on prices either.

These prices are in line with what they are listing here for. It’s the GATAVT tax that kills me. Easily another 2500 at least added to the price. Then freight is around 2400. Then whatever accessories they add. I’ve only found one dealer so far that’s adding markup
Looking at those prices I’d be waiting til the end of the year.. I think prices will come down shortly but I guess who knows with the “supply chain shortages”
Freight seems high but everything else is normal for buying something at MSRP, nobody gets out of paying tax or a 300 doc fee anymore. Like I said, with these being so hard to find "deals" are not and have not been a thing for awhile now. If you like the machine and you can afford it, then send it. Waiting for a deal is going to take years probably. Unless something about the '23 is a must have then I don't see the reason to wait for one of those either.

Went and looked at a 22 xrs today. Quoted 41k out the door. They said they added a 10% markup due to demand and said people all over have been calling about it, even though it’s been on their lot for a month lol.
Tell them to take the 10% markup off, and you'll buy it. $41K is insane! I paid just over $28K back in 19 for my XRS. There hasn't been that many upgrades to justify that kind of money, IMO. I know we're living in different times now, but still, that's insane.
