he probably paid $33,580 for the car and got the 75k mile warranty and tax, tag, and title make this a $38K out the door kind of deal.

not a bad price for the car, it is definitely fair for what you get. the $28k and lower cars are gimmicks to get you on the lots. but straight forward he didn't get a bad deal. especially if he likes the car like we all do...enjoy, and drive it like it was meant to be driven.
