2017 Genesis G80 V6 @ 56,000mi for 15K - Decent or overpriced?

A coworker of mine is selling a 2017 G80 with 56K miles on it, and has offered to sell it to me for 15K before he takes up a carmax offered price.

Its the Royal blue color and seems to have all the luxury options, afaik. It does have a fairly significant rear passenger door scratch, but test driving it seems mechanically sound, and he is pretty religious about maintenance.

I have never owned a Genesis nor even a Korean car (mostly experienced with Toyota and Honda). Is this a deal for this model year?

Are there any things to keep in mind or to watch out for for this year/motor/drivetrain? It seems there are many reports of Transmission issues for this year - is that something that is known to go out at a certain mileage?

Thanks to all those who are more experienced than me on this - I am fairly mechanically minded (brakes, belts, oil changes, etc) but it would be a daily driver for me, so reliability is somewhat important.
