I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2021 CX-9 touring with 24,000 miles, this will be my 7th Mazda, as I currently have a 2012 Mazda5 and a 2013 CX-5 in the fleet. The MZ5 I'll be selling on. It's got 175,000 miles, and she's starting to show her age.
The 9 I'm looking at is the Touring so no sunroof (specifically didn't want one because they all eventually leak, every last one, don't care who made the car or when). It's Soul red with the 7 passenger tan leather interior.
What are some things I need to be on the lookout for? I know in my MZ5, the TCM's sometimes die unless they're relocated, the motor mounts die, as well as the upper shock mounts. And I also know that on my CX-5, they carbon up the valves real good, so the intake has to be pulled to clean them about once every 100,000 miles or so.
I specifically avoided looking at the 2020's and down because of the cracked head issues, and as per the TSB, this doesn't affect the 21's and up. But I guess my question is, what does affect them? Or being so new, is it too early to tell yet?
Thanks.
