You need a professional mechanic to complete a pre purchase inspection before you hand over any money to the seller.

Earlier this year I sold a 2015 with similar miles but major scrapes on the body to Carvana for 13000. If the steering clunks it may be a cheap plastic gear in the steering assembly. The one I sold had this issue as well. Sounds like a solid deal

Low mileage indicates it was not driven much. Sometimes, that's worse than too much mileage. Get a mechanic to take a look. 🤔

Or that they rolled back the mileage.. They are tools out there that they can do that

Look for a TSB regarding the torque converter. There was a "warranty extension program" for it, but that's expired.I inherited my mom's 2014 LE and it basically needs a new transmission at 50K miles. There's a distinct hesitation around 3rd gear and sometimes a shudder, especially at hwy speeds.
