I agree, it's just not that special. As thatguy says, 98K miles is little better than 150K and maybe less so -- if this car truly was a vacation car, that means it sat around a lot. Sitting is as bad or worse than being driven, especially if the garage it sits in is cold and damp (and how would you ever know?). It probably needs a lot of work on the suspension system, all of the rubber may need replacing, a/c repairs, etc. Probably $5000 to get it nice, on top of the purchase price.

It appears that this car was not originally owned by the current seller so all information is third-hand (at least) to you. Unless the seller has a complete set of service papers from Day 1, I'd keep looking.
