I’ve been keeping an eye out for about a year now. Finally found a great deal on a platinum! 56,000 miles for $25,000: 2 sets of rims, Thule bike rack, Thule roof rack. Tan interior.

Have been very happy with my 2018… now at the same mileage as yours… congrats!

Glad to hear! Any general maintenance things you’ve needed to address at this many miles? My mechanic took a look and said just the transmission fluid looks dirty and needs a change.
@Zya
If it is AWD, I would do the transfer case service and differential service. I’ve read online doing those services every 30k; some say 60k, my local mechanic mentioned 70-75k (lol). I didn’t do mine until 151k miles later (bought it used at 42k; I was unaware of this maintenance). But it’s a world of difference in controlling/handling the vehicle.
@Starry
Thanks for the advice, yes it is AWD. I will keep this in mind.

Did you buy yours new in 2017? How has it been mechanically?
@Zya
Yes, new in 2017. Issues I’ve had are replacing CV boots twice (no idea why) and wrecked my rear control arms (my fault for carrying way too much flooring). Otherwise, it has been good. Having some strange clunk when starting out, but the dealer couldn’t figure out what it is— that was two years ago and still there, but no issues driving. It has been an awesome family (+ 2 dogs) vehicle. Hope yours works out well too.
What a deal. Nice buy.
I got the same year. It’s bulletproof.
Nice! First week with my 2019, we drove to Telluride and ended up in a crazy snowstorm. We were very glad not to be in our Ford Focus! Also, if you haven’t heard of it: https://comma.ai/, been a user for 4 years and love it, amazing for road trips.
Great buy. Make sure to get the transmission serviced. This is the only weak spot in this model, that I am aware of. I have the limited and had the tranny replaced under warranty. If it starts going, it will make a slight whine, which will get worse as you use it more. If this doesn’t happen, you will have a wonderful vehicle. Quiet and comfortable for years. Love the tan interior.
Fugly.
