Get a DIC yourself and save $$$, extremely easy to replace. Keep the old one for an emergency and for diagnostic purposes. eeuroparts.com $289
The vehicle has low miles, but getting older, my concern would be the serp belt upper idler pully. They should normally be changed at 60K (with belt, new belt from dealer will be short belt mod).
If if does not have the orange/red engine coolant, that might be due for a flush and fill at this age.
From a maintenance point of view, go with the cheap NGK BPCR6ES11 plugs and change every year, DIY. Clean injectors with Techron Concentrate now and at every 8K or 3X/year. Mobil 1 0W40. Purolator PureOne PL10241 is a very good fitler if you will not be getting oil changed at the dealer.
Get the ECU flashed to the lastest SW if not done already.
Check for blue smoke from exhaust at first startup of the day. There are some free PCV mods that might apply. That is also the same fix for some engine seal oil leaks.
