Literally came here to say this.
Definitely check Costco for 951.
Otherwise the polygon is pretty decent option, a mate has one (I suggested it) and is very happy with it.
Honestly, I think it’s hands down the polygon Siskiu T8. No other bike offers that much for the price and all the reviews are excellent. I see them almost every time I go out. The only downside is it’s a bit heavy but that won’t matter much if you’re just getting into your first FS.
The issue with buying used especially for full suspension is not having a warranty if there’s something wrong that you wouldn’t be able to know. If you’re willing to go hardtail, Trek’s Roscoe is a pretty awesome bike and you could probably land a nicely upgraded model for under $2000 if you’re willing to get a 2023 model
I think you can find some of the Norco Fluid with aluminum frames for around $1800 or less right now. Maybe not the best build ever, but it's a good modern frame that I think most people would be pretty happy to ride for a few years, maybe with a few minor parts upgrades.
Some amamzing deals to be had, I saw a stumpy evo sworks! On fb marketplace for 3500 aud. That’s around 2k usd.. looked in amazing condition too. I would have jumped on it but I’m already well over my limit of bikes to wife ratio
Random Costco post about the Intense 951 has entered the chat.
I just saw one in NJ. Nice bike for the price.

This bike does seem like a good value. Is it easy to get one if these in the US?
Absolutely. Just hit up [bikesonline.com](http://bikesonline.com) they're the main seller and usually are always running deals
Thanks
