Need Advice on 2023 AMG GLA purchase

I just bought a used 2023 Mercedes AMG GLA with two thousand miles on it. Twenty minutes off the lot the coolant light came on. I was given a loaner car while the dealer fixed my car. I found out that this was the second time the water pump needed to be replaced. The car is practically brand new!!! Is this an indication that I am going to have further issues with this car? The dealer is willing to put me into a different car but with fewer options. I don’t know what to do. I appreciate any advice

My engineer father always taught me to never buy someone else's problems. The amount you save on the purchase price isn't worth the heartache.
