I’m looking at buying a 2013 MXZ (360hrs on Cadillac 572 engine) that meets all my criteria, only issue is the boat is 12hrs away, so taking my time to inspect and test drive and inspect again (maybe) is a bit hard to do. Been talking to the dealer and we’ve landed on a fair price though he’s mentioned he’s had to replace actuators on wedge, actuators on both surf gates, ballast bumps, and a switch that allows it to get into gear! but says all is operational and good to go now
Question: do y’all think this is a sign of a lemon!? (I had a 10yr old Malibu for a few years - never had those issues) OR common repairs par for the course.
And what would catch a larger issue during a pre-sale inspection if there were culprit for these issues (beyond poor original owner care?)
