Wow, 11K miles Great find!
Make sure you don't still have the original tires on it, 13 year old tires are no good.

If it rides unusually rough make sure the shock stuffers have been removed by the original dealer. Nice car.

The dealer missed the muffler bearings, but the wife caught it!

You would be surprised how many people have driven thousands of miles for 15 years and more with them still in there. They are still coming here asking why their car rides so rough. No joke.

Congrats on your recent purchase. Love the color and it was great to find one with that low mileage. Good luck !
