There are things that can (and WILL) go wrong with a car that sits for that long, Just so you know.

What kind of condition is it in? Does it look as pristine as a 16000 mile car should? if so, then it's probably worthwhile. Is it n/a or turbo? Really, we need more information.

^^ yes and no. because main thing being the apex seals being stuck... or even being able to start it.... old gas... if you get it to start and it runs good, with good compression which would be a miracle then yeah that would be a good deal
