I say go for it if you like the color, the options, etc. I like the low miles and price is reasonable.

Sounds like a great opportunity.

But did you confirm it works great? Or is the information provided to you?

Good luck. I’d check to make sure all of the annual,services are up to date. You stated it’s on the original tires so based on time you probably new tires. Tires usually last 5 tears IIRC.

Default ppi

You dont want a ppi from the place selling it stealerships will tell you anything. Take it somewhere independent of the sale. $200 for a piece of mind and they do it every day.
