Pretty damn nice. The guy doesn't have an asking price. If only this sucker were for sale in about 3 years.....

The good thing about something that low miles is the condition of the body, suspension, interior. The bad thing about low miiles is the engine. Once you start the engine it's rusting when it's turned off . But getting an excellent interior, body etc for such a car is worth it.

For the sake of argument (and simplicity) lets assume the FD is ten years (520 weeks) old. That's about 12 miles in an average week. The guy claims he always drove it to make sure the fluids circulated.

I actually wouldn't recommend anyone buying that car simply because you'd probably feel too guilty driving a car with that few miles. My car has low miles (although not as low as this one), and I find myself putting off driving it so I don't build the miles. It's just sad really

yeah I'm the opposite. I bought mine blown up for cheap and it had 130+K miles on it. I don't feel one bit guilty for putting miles on it. I figure. 130K or 200K does it matter by that point. Everything is changed out by then anyway. LOL.....
