LA is a fairly large area--wanna be a little more specific?
Also, I would plan on having a maintenance budget for an 06 with only 1400 miles. Many of the usual infant mortality issues will start to creep up on you as you drive the car. Also, keep a close eye on the seals, like the IMS. The cars were engineered to be driven so when we find that one has hardly been driven there are certain things that will be more likely to go wrong.
