A coworker is selling his 2018 (June production) MX 100D for $55k and I want to get MX owners thoughts on if the purchase is a good idea. Specs below. Overall, the car is in near-mint condition and everything is sparkling and perfect. However, it's out of warranty and during the test-drive when I 0-60 on a straight-line with suspension set to normal, I noticed the dreaded wheel shudder, subtle but definitely noticeable.
I love everything about the car and the test drive but I'm very concerned that I'll have a repair bill around the corner for the shudder issue. I flagged the issue to the seller and he's dropping the price to $52.5k.
My question for current MX owners:
I love everything about the car and the test drive but I'm very concerned that I'll have a repair bill around the corner for the shudder issue. I flagged the issue to the seller and he's dropping the price to $52.5k.
My question for current MX owners:
- Should I get the car for $52.5k and just add something like this: Alignment Kit 1 - Acceleration Shudder & Inner Tire Wear - Tesla Model X & S to deal with the shudder once and for all? If so, will I also need to replace the current half-arms along side this kit?
- Can just drive with the shuddering issue and are there any long-term mechanical risks here? or is most the risk here around just inner tire-wear? I can't figure out if this is something I can live with or if this is an actual safety/mechanical concerns
- Are there other potentially bills/issues I should be checking on the car? I inspected for gaps, tire wear, and interiors and everything seems good but not sure if there's any under the hood stuff that needs a 2nd look?
- As a current MX owner, based on everything I mentioned, would you buy the car @ $52.5k?
