15K is pretty darn low, although 160K miles is hard to ignore....I'd hit it.

Ran the VIN, the car only has TPMS and Nav for options. Considering mileage and lack of options, I'd say it's a crap deal. Plus the dealership is not showing any pics of interior, rear exterior, or motor condition makes it seem very fishy.

I'm going to inspect it tomorrow but I think I'll pass on this one an wait for a better mileage one to appear.

Not bad, for 160k miles. Check all the records.

Doesn't look too bad in the pictures. Assuming it's in decent mechanical shape it would probably be a good deal at 14-15k.
