Was this a good deal?

Just bought a cobalt ls with 75k for $3500. Came with regular tires and a set of snow tires. Also has some fancy touch screen radio with gps. Guy gave me the stock radio too. Battery is about 5 months old. It had a tranny flush at 55k. Just had an oil change the 8th of this month. Carfax was clean and has had routine maintenance done regularity at the chevy dealer here. Drove it 50 miles and no issues no check engine lights. Came from a wealthy family. I had a mechanic inspect it after my initial inspection. The only thing we found wrong was a slightly worn cv axle boot with a small bit of grease maybe the size of a penny but nothing bad and I don't think needs replacing right away. The guy I bought it from drove to Tennessee from Michigan 5-6 times within the last year.

very clean. absolutely no rust on the rockers or elsewhere. undercarriage in the back doesn't have a single spot of rust. there's a little surface rust on the control arms. interior still smells new and is extremely clean. everything inside works. drove it 75 miles so far and nothings happened lol.

i tried to remove the fuse cover lastnight and broke the damn plastic tab off the top of it. i had to pull really hard to remove it. the drivers side power lock switch sometimes needs to be pressed hard in the unlock position to unlock the doors. the trunk key cylinder is seized up and one of the key fobs is dead. back bumper has slight scratches but i think i can buff them out. cant really think of anything wrong with the car besides this. the previous owner even made sure to replace the wipers before selling it. i'm new to cobalts so even having an ls i dont mind. i just fell in love with the car when i seen the condition and price after searching for one for weeks and finding nothing but trash.

i'd post pics but i don't know how i'm new here lol.

I wouldn't worry about if you got a good deal or not. What's done is done, just enjoy your car
