Looking to pick up a pivot trail 429. Asking price is $3500 and I think that’s a bit high but want opinions. Everything looks good from the pictures and can’t see anything giving off a fake frame.

What year? What are those wheels?
Why the XO1 crank when the rest is XT and SLX. This is weirder than a Jensen special.
I can’t figure out which wheel set that is. But it looks like it started as a XT or XT/SLX build and the owner has swapped out the cranks for x01 carbon cranks, different wheel set (looks like carbon wheelset).
Pivot bikes hold their value well. Looks like a current model, unsure of the year. If the suspension hasn’t received a full rebuild, I would look to get it for a little bit less which is a good price for a current model bike with carbon wheels.
Can’t really tell from the pictures, but I can’t see any wear on the drivetrain. Any scratches/blemishes/ wheels out of true (shouldn’t be if carbon wheels) should be factored into the price.
When buying used, I always ask when the suspension was last serviced, how many miles on the bike, how old/miles are on the chain (rough estimates on mileage), and any noises A worn chain can destroy the cassette and chainring.
You need to find your local Pivot sales rep and buy direct. You’ll get about 50% off list.
