The only thing that worries me on this report is that
fuel system was checked twice before the car was sold.
Otherwise it looks almost too good to be true for the money(6000$ and 90K
miles).
It's going to be my first car so I'm hoping to buy something
decent.
Would someone please kindly take a look at below carfax report and
see if they can spot any problems. Thank you very much

Dunno, that doesn't seem to be a GOOD price, just average.  And, that's just
CarFax, no maint records?  What about the rest of the stuff?  Have you seen
or driven it?

That model year and motor had some very bad problems with head gaskets
blowing, which is a 2k - 3k repair.  You need to read up on the issue and
check for hydrocarbons in the coolant before putting in an offer.  90k miles
is right about the time the gasket will go too.
