Bought it for 13k.

Only thing could find wrong were clear bra on front cracking, chrome bumper trim on back fading and chrome trim above front windshield needs replacing. Everything else works. spent over 1 hour trying every button. Tires are Michelin and have a lot of tread left.

Gave me close to 500 off for that.

Also the free oil changes are every 5k miles.

Congrats...only thing I can tell you is removing that clear bra will be an absolute *****. I've seen some of those older cracked clear bras removed, it's brittle and basically just chips away. You should have a good detailer do it, it will take hours.

Congratulations!! You got an awesome deal.
Try some chrome cleaner on the bumper trim. There is a recent thread on this subject.
