Possibly buying a used Bullitt with steps, what should I watch out for?

I tried out a Larry vs Harry Bullit with a Shimano steps 6000, about 2 years old. Before I commit to it, I wanted know if there is anything I should watch out for? It comes with the rear wheel lock, a side panel kit, honeycomp board with a roll top. Dynemo hub with a front light. I test rode it today, might pick it up tomorrow, the asking price is $5500. So far everything checks out, the lady that was selling it seem really cool and just has too many bikes so she is just swapping out for something else.

Get the battery load tested. Budget a battery replacement if it tests 80% or less capacity.

Is that all?

There are a ton of bullitt owners on the Facebook group “bullitt universal owners” if you want more advice than you find here.

I do not have Facebook, not sure if I even want one either.

I see you’ve posted in the Portland subreddit. If you’re there, you can chat with Joel at Splendid Cycles who knows all things Bullitt.
