How much $? If it's a couple thousand, you probably can't go wrong, but expect that it'll need things amounting to a couple thousand, probably sooner rather than later. It's 11+ years old, though the mechanicals are tried and true. I'd want to see some oil change history with the low miles. Despite the PCV fix from previous model years, these engines still are susceptible to sludge. Paying someone to drop the oil pan and clean the screen will run you $300 to $500. At that mileage and age, the suspension is probably ready for a refresh. Some say it is better to invest in "resealing" the engine first.
