Our technician evacuated and recharged the system and reported that the A/C is now working properly and no leaks were found.The vehicle also has a newer radiator installed. Our technician's assessment was that the A/C system may simply not have been properly refilled when that previous work was performed.That's exactly the kind of detail we believe a buyer deserves to know.The Full StoryThe obvious consideration here is mileage: at 142K, this CX-30 has considerably more miles than the typical 2020 example.That's also a major reason the price is $15,900 rather than the $20,000-plus asking prices you're going to see on lower-mileage examples.Instead of hiding from the mileage, we'd rather show you what we found after inspecting it worn brakes, a leaking front strut, an A/C system needing service and several smaller items and show you what was addressed.For someone who values equipment and price over having the lowest number on the odometer, this is an interesting way to get into a Premium-trim AWD CX-30 for under $16,000.High mileage doesn't scare us nearly as much as unknown condition. We inspect the car, address what we find, and show you the story that's Total Transparency.
