I think 11k for a 2011 with 14k miles on it is a good deal, provided as you say the accident was minor.
All the rust proofing, undercoating etc. is all a lot of overkill in my opinion. My advice is to contact your States Attorney General's office and ask them.

Good luck

Edit: Giving it more thought since these "protection add ons" have already been applied and can't be "uninstalled"
I'm not sure what you can do short of returning the car. Or threatening to do so in order to renegotiate the terms and price.

Any car will rust. Period. As long as you take care of it by washing, waxing it, and just keeping it maintained, it will last.

Change the oil yourself so you know that it's getting done correctly. Don't waste your money on that stealership BS.

Actually they haven't been applied yet, my appointment is supposed to be Friday. I'm in the works of backing out of it except the original lady I spoke to is out of town (of course) so I've been talking to the other lady that upsells all this garbage.

So I recalled seeing on the CarFax for this car that all that junk (undercoat, fabric guard, paint sealant but no rustproofing) was already applied by the first owner anyway when they first bought it! I had told the lady about it and she had the salesman bring everything out of the glovebox to find out that there was supposeofly no paperwork about it. There were papers with the previous owner's information, which she promptly threw out. She might have thrown out the warranty information I needed, for all I know.

Today I decided I'd try calling the dealer that the junk was originally applied, and they were helpful and told me that info could be looked up and since I'm only the second owner, the warranty could be transferred. She gave me the number of the company that did the work. That company, Ziebart, was completely useless and unfriendly and told me that they can't do anything without the ORIGINAL paperwork which of course would be thrown out anyway for having the previous owner's information on it! I'm trying to see now if the salesman could contact the previous owner to get the warranty paperwork. So stupid.
