Looking @ 2017 F3-T, non Can-Am Dealer - What to look for?

Looking at 2017 F3-T, 5k miles, no owner maintenance records, non-Can-Am dealer.

What should I look for?

Thanks

If you get the VIN of the Spyder, call a dealer and they can tell you about maintenance done if it was completed at Can Am dealer.

If there is a local Can Am dealer ask the selling dealer if you can have the Spyder checked out by the Can Am dealer. Sure, might cost some amount but...

Check everything you can visually: mileage, tire wear signs of obvious neglect in care or abuse in use.

Will the selling dealer let you test ride it? If so do take it for a ride to get it to full operating temp and check oil and coolant levels.

Yes, will ride it today.

I will do a VIN check which should show the original dealer.

Thanks

We rode it. Engine was missing badly. Surprised how little space there was in the side bags. Otherwise, the wife loved it.

Went to the Can-Am dealer, saw a 2020 F3-S(M). Looked so good, ordered F3-S (SE6).
