So I have been looking at an Aviator Reserve II AWD that is listed as used with under 3K miles.
Spoke to the dealer today and he disclosed that it is a buyback for a "water leak" (he didn't know exactly what the leak was).
It is a one owner car with an in-service date of 09/19; they have had the vehicle for a week or so, and have deducted approximately 9K from the original sticker. He is willing to negotiate and I am considering this vehicle.
I don't think this is a salvage title (but I'm not sure, or if that even matters) and he says the factory warranty applies. Says they got it from an auction, also says I can do ESP, Premium Maintenance etc.
Should I beware/pass on this? Or should I try to get him to come down (much) more?
Called my credit union and gave them the VIN to inquire about financing, no red flags; called my insurance agent and gave them the VIN for an insurance quote, no red flags there either.
Was about to buy a loaded ST, but this is much nicer for around the same money (or less) IMO.
I have a copy of the window sticker and AutoCheck score. Please advise before I take the plunge!
