G70 Evaporator issues common or not?

​

hi folks,

I am looking for used car to purchas-lease not an option as I drive 15+Kmi a year. Was considering a G90 but my taste overwhelms my budget. I drove a G70 V6 and it was a rocket and also drove a G70 which is probably a wiser choice with better gas mileage. However, I have seen/driven 4 of them so far with remaining factory warranty here in south Florida. One of them a G70 2.0 Elite had warm AC and was told evaporator would be replaced prior to purchase. The other had a carfax (also 2.0L) showing it had AC evaporator replaced. That would be a huge repair out of warranty. Did this affect certain years or models? Or just a fluke that 1/2 of the ones I looked at have this probLen, if so, any redesign or fixes if this is/was a common issue?

Any suggestions on specific model specs that have proven to be more robust/durable than others? I am avoiding the 2019 models for being first model year. I know all cars have some weak areas, just gathering information. Thanks in advance!

You don’t mention year but I have a 2023 G70 (also in South Florida) and a/c is cold!

I am shopping for 2020+ for budget of $30k or less...just curious of what to look out for buying used besides checking for normal maintenance.

I am coming from a 2010 Mercedes S550 which I loved the ride and luxury but the maintenance costs become like a small mortgage. Have also had an Alfa Giulia lease which the G70 reminds me of, I leased that vehicle.

i guess these G70s must be very reliable as the forums are not very active.
I see some G90s under $30k but the mileage is higher- they drive very close to the Mercedes.

great options
