Looking at a 2018 which is new on the dealer floor. It is an eco boost, good price for the option, but I am worried it has just been sitting for probably 1.5 years. Any concerns like leaky gaskets? Anything else? Guessing the oil had not been changed, so would have them do that. Any thoughts on this?

Members on this forum have bought “new” cars older than a year and a half. That said with the current deals on 19’s this 18’ had better be a steal.

Just look the outside of the car over... that is the only thing that matters, in a car that sits anywhere.

Thanks should have used search.

Well after turning in my BMW 228 yesterday i went by the dealer that had the 2018 EB and they still had it, so went ahead with a purchase, feels good to purchase and not lease. They dropped another 1k off, new battery, oil change, couple other Dealer added BS like the clear paint protection and theft device (already on the car) and it has the Magna ride which i am really curious to take through the canyon I drive through. Had a 2015 GT with Steeda parts that ripped it.

Awesome - sounds like you got a good deal. That magnaride should help that thing rip!

Mine sat for over 2 years, just purchased it 6 months ago, a 17 leftover. Not a single issue, other than dead battery I got under warranty replaced.
