Im looking at buying a used 2018 with 240 miles on it or a brand new 2019. What all has changed? They look identical and finding info is difficult. All i have found is a change to rear suspension and front sway bar? Have read were some were saying the transmission got tweaked a bit. So drop me the skinny on what all changed. Would help this purchase out greatly.

You should check the can am website. All the details are there!
What i said in my op is whats on their site. Theres always hidden things that change thats not in ads that the community knows about.They may say the suspnsion is better but the riders can say yeah or hell no buy an older one. Thanks for your contribution.

I would NEVER buy a mud machine that is slightly used. Typically they are sold with low miles because someone swamped them. I would not even take that risk unless it was a $5,000+ savings. Anything less and you can't afford to rebuild the engine if it needs it.
Great point Deadman. However it's a possibility the 2018 prior owner traded it in for good reason. I'd buy the brand new machine if it were me.
Yeah the thing is spotless but that doesnt mean it hasnt seen a mudhole. Dealership said previous owner bought it took it on a weekend trail ride and traded it in for a polaris soon after. Said it rode too rough and his back couldnt handle it. Yes it is at a considerable discount. Dealer told me to come ride it a while before i decided to purchase it because he didn't want another customer having a bad experience.
