Sometimes a bargain is not a bargain, if in return you get aggravation, time lost from work/leisure, and sleepless nights.
I would not buy somebody else's problems, no matter how cheap they are selling them.
But you will do what you want, of course.

editted to add: I went through your post and missed that this is 3.0si!! I just bought the same vehicle, with ZERO miles, and ZERO issues on 12/6.
My OTD price was 43500 plus tax.
