Gen 1 R1S 2023 low miles

[owl157]

My concern with that one is the very low vin (4810.) It’s almost a 2022 so unless the previous owner had lots of parts replaced, it certainly has all the older suspension components (dampers, air springs, subframe, etc) which are prone to ride quality issues, clunking, etc. it’s not till vin 13000 or so that they started using the updated Gen 2 suspension components.

Not the end of the world but I’d get a later one if possible….

Thanks!

I have an Aug 2023 Quad that I got from CarMax for $73K, it had 350mi.

-sunken hood
-B pillar bulge
-passenger door rubbing fender
-passenger side wind noise
-alignment

I have a 2023 Quad, and had none of these issues except for drivers door wind noise, which they fixed.

what’s your vin? Did you look very closely at all the panels and hood? I think most Rivians have at least a few of these misalignments but most people just don’t notice them as they aren’t critical.

Thanks, below is the link to the car, they are give me a low quote for my car so it may be out of my price range and they won't go any lower on the price

Assuming few of the issues posted elsewhere on this string, that vehicle falls within the absolute sweet spot for an R1S quad—almost no miles, a post 18000 VIN #, and a price of $25k below a new one.

My VIn: 19xxx
Yes, I looked in great detail at all the panel fittings, warpage, dings, etc. I’m sort of anal about those kind of things.
I know a lot of people of that era had a lot of alignment issues with panels, I felt very lucky that mine was great. I had a small issue with a piece of trim falling off the drivers window triangle and the drivers door seal. I think whoever made my driver store must’ve had a bad day. But since then the driver door has been rocksolid.

mine is 18xxx so maybe they did a better job with the next 1000
