Looking at a code orange with black roof 500 with 1700 miles. One owner. Carbon track pack. All original. The car had ppf applied on the high impact areas (full front bumper, headlights, hood and front fenders)

The car has had one oil change performed by the dealer on a drive on hoist so I don’t have to worry about any pinch weld damage which has always been a concern for me.

I’m extremely particular (as this post would show you lol) what other issues can one be on the look out?

With that mileage it should be pretty much new. I’d see if it was bought with a cover and see if the owners pack goes with the car.

With those miles I would not worry too much. I bought my 500 used with 12500 miles and any issues I have had been covered under warranty (wheel bearing, axle shaft leak, steering wheel wear).

You didn’t mention what year, but I’d check all the TSB items. Look for trans line leaks, cable routing around the supercharger (some had misrouting on the drivers side), active exhaust valve connectors at the muffler, specifically passenger side.

Be sure they did not install a custom tune
