Purchased a second hand Kizashi with 72,000kms from dealer - What type of service should I do?

The Kizashi should soon show up in Australia. We look forward to seeing members from your region.

I will be commuting to Hamilton daily from Toronto. Should I buy it? is it worth it for that price? what is due for repairs at this stage? I am first time car buyer and have been thinking alot. everyone is scaring me from the parts availability and labour charges.i love the car drive it slight culling noise in the back but not too significant. I will be getting the rear shock switch the purchase so I am not too worked. all Japanese import parts. any suggestions please as I'll be buying it today if I get a green light from you aall. thanks. I am full time university student so can't afford expensive repairs
I'm a little suspicious of why the front bearings and struts needed to be replaced. I haven't heard of anyone needing to change those out. As for the pricing, if it's a GTS or SLS model with below 70K miles that's probably a steal, or a reasonable amount if the car has 100K-ish miles or some sort of accident on it
