Certainly looks clean. I would inquire wether or not it has had the Valley Plate Leak or not. It's not a super common phenomenon but can happen to this motor regardless of year or mileage. Hope you get it though.

Hey guys thanks for the input I did ask about the valley plate leak and he stated that it has not had that issue or any issues with it at all....ran the car fax and an autocheck and the car seems well maintained and as for the mileage it has 58k

I would say that’s a fair price for the car. Just remember the big 60K mile service is right around the corner which includes changing the spark plugs.

Seems like a fair price for a clean 2011.

Looks super clean.. It looks to be the luxury package as I can see the mem seats buttons - also looks to have the tech package as well as it has rear parking sensors..

60k service is basically an extensive inspection, and minor things like AC filter, brake fluid, engine air filter, oil change, and spark plugs. Unless they check the valve clearance(a $$$ service but not many do) for that $1300, I'd go elsewhere. I recently hit 65k and did all new rotors/pads, new brake fluid, oil change, spark plugs, cabin filter, and full inspection(other than valve clearance) and spent under $1200 with labor at a cheap but quality shop. Dealer themselves quoted me rotors alone for $1100 just parts smh..
