low mileage is nice, but a well maintained high mileage car is always going to be better.
unless you're looking for a project, and/or can get it extremely cheap enough to cover about $2,000 in work, i'd consider looking for a better example.
in the future, i'd also recommend getting vehicle work done at a trusted small local repair shop instead of a brand-specific dealer. they'll save you money, and the majority of them are just as certified to perform the work as the dealer is.

Thank you for the info, I was just able to get the engine codes back and there were quite a few like P0300 and P0302. No softly driven car should have cylinder misfires at 38K miles
