A used less than 100 mile 2020 Vado 4.0 step thru for $2650. But I would lose new warranties not electronic related. Opinions

I found a used less than 100 mile Vado 4.0 Step Thru 2020 Vado 4.0 for $2650 from an out of town dealer, but my daughter lives 3 miles from the shop. They are selling it because no one rides demos in the winter. I would lose all warranties that are not battery or electronics related. I was strongly considering a Vado 4.0 but did not want step thru, but that is not a huge deal, I don't think. So my question is, is this a helluva deal if I lose the warranty and do not buy from my local shop, so I would lose one year tune up they give on new bikes? Thank you!
Now I have been told that Specialty does not cover any used bikes with any warranty at all. So any problems I would have to pay for. I cannot believe they void all warranty on a demo bike with less than 100 miles on it. Thoughts. Buy or not buy?

Wow didn't realize you had to be the original owner. That's a tough choice since its normally lifetime warranty.

"If you're the second, or later, owner of a Specialized or Roval product, you are eligible for a two-year warranty from the date of the original retail purchase."

I don’t think so. I called specialized. That was the old rule. They have changed it and no longer do that. No warranties. Dealer told me
That and I called specialized and they told me the same thing. No warranties on used bike sale. I think this was abused somehow.

I haven't read the whole document yet but according to Specialized's own warranty found online for the US and Canada, used bikes ARE covered.
From https://media.specialized.com/support/collateral/0000109728-warranty-us_ca-en.pdf

If they have changed their warranty then I'd download a copy of the one online before they change it. And I'd be trying to talk to a few people at Specialized to see why a rep told you it wasn't covered but their legal document(?) online says differently.

As far as that particular bike being a good purchase... I would want to see a little more or a discount. But that's just me.

I did talk to specialize in the phone. Not a dealer. Their customer service. I ended up buying a new bike from a dealer who was local.

Well, I'll see how it goes. I bought a bike with a warranty. So I am at least covered that way.
