Moose’s Verdict
Moose’s Verdict
Burn damage in its past. Priced like it’s clean.
$23,500 sits squarely in the fair range for a 2023 Polestar 2 Long Range Single Motor with 29k miles — comps run $20k–$25k. The price isn’t the problem. The history is: this VIN ran through a Copart auction in August 2024, sold by Hertz with reported burn damage at just 10,755 miles, on a Florida certificate of title — and the dealer’s listing pointedly makes no ‘no accidents’ claim. On an EV, anything with ‘burn’ in its past near a 78 kWh battery pack is a hard no without a documented, written repair trail. Walk away.
Price vs Market
$23,500 is mid-range against $20k–$25k comps for a 2023 LRSM at these miles.
★★★★★
History (VIN)
Copart auction, Aug 2024: Hertz seller, reported burn damage at 10,755 mi, FL title. No ‘no accidents’ claim on the listing.
★★★★★
Maintenance & Reliability
Known gremlins: TCAM/key-fob/GPS faults, 12V battery deaths, infotainment freezes, rear-camera recall. Mostly fixed free — but the service network is thin.
★★★★★
Fuel Economy
110 MPGe combined, 270-mile EPA range — costs pennies a mile to run.
★★★★★
Dealership
4.8 stars on 34 Google reviews (Larwill 4.7/26, Goshen 5.0/8), but a public Jan 2025 complaint alleges a kept deposit at the Goshen store.

Vehicle History
Vehicle History
Auction records (BidCars/Copart) show this VIN crossed the block in August 2024 — sold by Hertz with reported burn damage at 10,755 miles, on a Florida certificate of title. Notably, the dealer’s listing does not claim ‘no accidents.’ Burn damage on an EV can mean anything from a 12V electrical fire to heat near the high-voltage pack — and there is no public record of what was repaired or replaced. Do not buy this car without a full, written repair history and a battery-health report.

One public red flag on record: a January 2025 complaint alleges the Goshen location kept a buyer’s deposit after financing fell through. Worth asking about their deposit policy in writing before you put money down.
The Original Listing
Snapshot of the dealer’s listing page, captured at verdict time — so the price and details can’t quietly change afterward.
The fine print: this verdict is our opinion based on publicly available information at the time of analysis — price data, history sources, and dealer reviews. It is not financial advice. Always get an independent pre-purchase inspection and verify the history yourself before you buy.
