Hi, I have come to an agreement to purchase a '19 HSE/First Edition ($88k msrp) with 3.6k miles on it for just under $58k. (After state and federal rebate/tax credit, that under %50k)!!
That all sounds good except that in checking the CARFAX there were TWO battery replacements -- one with only 21 miles on the odometer and the other when the vehicle was transferred to my local dealer (Bobby Rahal Jag/LR). The vehicle was originally delivered to San Jose in October '18 and was transferred to Penske in Cerritos in late December, which is when the first battery replacement occurred. It changed hands between a couple other dealers in Cali before making it's way to Rahal in March and getting its battery replaced the second time.
I'm sacrificing 18-months of the manufacturers warranty, so should these battery replacements raise a flag? I've looked around the forum a little but haven't seen anything that seems like a systematic issue with the battery or any recalls.
What do you folks think?
