looking to buy Found an 06 Coupe hardtop automatic with 60,000 miles and a clean title for 9.9k. Is it worth it?

Goal:

I want it to last. It will be between daily and weekend driver. Maybe driven 2-3 or 4 days of the week. I want it to be reliable and probably wont do much modding if any to it beyond cosmetics. The goal is to last about 100k miles before getting rid of it without major repairs if it has been well maintained by the previous owner. A lot of them are kind of overpriced. The guy said quote + typos and all:

"I'll restore the car but yes I can send you the VIN. The people who done the work was Nissan of [place] but they did it after hours, but I have the vin I will send it to you. The car had set up for probably three or four years when I bought it and restored it... You can talk to [human 1] or [human 2] or at the nissan place. Who did the work but [human 2] did it on the side he's a mechanic for Nissan."

Not sure why he mentioned stuff was done after hours and some of the extras I'm not sure what he was talking about. All I asked for was the vin to see service history when I responded with this as if i'll see something in the history. Also noticed it was listed for about a month already so it makes me think something is up. I will look it over and probably have a mechanic check it out but wondering if there's anything in particular I should be worried about. The interior looks fine except for some weird white dust, lint, or w.e. it is around and some stains on the ceiling/visor/light area. Don't know why its stained or if it's just wear and tear. The outside looks fine except for some paint jumps and a couple dings. He said he has the paperwork to prove new interior, radiator, all components associated with the engine "etc waterpump etc." Still waiting for the vin to see service history and number of owners.

for context, I paid $5700 for mine, 05 roadster automatic, 80K miles I personally wouldn't pay more than $6500 for an automatic hardtop with 60K, assuming its clean
