I'm considering buying a used P1k-5. I was ready to buy one this week and missed a sale (only 300 miles on a 2018) when someone else met with a seller first.

Now I'm looking at a used one with 3k miles on it.

Outside of looking at the oil, checking the coolant, and checking out the service history - what other red flags should I be on the lookout for, for buying a used pioneer 1000-5?

thank you
You need to know if it's ever been under water, or hydrolocked. Take the air filter out and see if there is any mud inside the air filter housing, or inside of the air inlet ducting.
