just know what you’re getting into, these things are pretty heavy, and due to the qr/disc hubs, it makes finding upgraded wheels pretty hard to do.
also there was a fork recall on these a few years back, so you should double check

Used to have one but it was pretty heavy and I didn’t love the geometry for xbiking.

I would not buy a bike with qr and discs. Thru axle or bust.

I’d definitely get it if it was in nice condition. This is a solid bike for trail riding, bikepacking, and even cosplaying as a commuter (it has a kickstand mount!).
However, if the wheels are toast getting a new wheelset will be a PITA, as others have noted.
