I had bought my 93 R1 completely stock back in 06 for 15K even. Had either 40K or 42K miles on it and the owner had all the receipts for any work and maintence done on it. It was garage kept it's entire life and the underbody was retardedly clean. None the less, every bit of rubber on the car was shot and when I took off the upper intake manifold it seemed like everything was just crumbling when touched. So in my opinion no matter how well kept the car is, as soon as something small breaks it's going to turn into a lot of small things to get replaced along with it.

Constant threat
There are still a few nice, stock, low-mileage cars out there that should command a decent price. The problem comes from trying to make a fast sale. No one can get a full loan for the amount asked for some of these, so your market shrinks to those with either cash on hand for the full amount or at least enough to make up the loan difference. Personally I think the $15K figure sounds about right, and it is enough to keep the riff-raff away.
Good to hear a potential buyer is lined up.

if the engine has never been cracked open then it will soon be due. and as many people mentioned, low mile cars usually have skeletons in their closet that you may not even know about.
yes, many people are on crack when they say unmodified cars should have better resale value, resale value depends on how well the car was maintained and/or repaired/upgraded.
