I'm not doubting the low mileage of the vehicle. I just think the asking price is too high. 4-5.5K tops for a excellent condition 126 is on par.

Its my experience that should you buy a 126 for less than this value, expect to put the difference into is repairing and getting it up to snuff.

The problem you run into with low mileage cars is the fact that the rubber pieces in the suspension tend to decay/go bad due to sitting.

High mileage cars tend to need paint/body/engine/suspension work. Occasionally you'll see one with a nice interior.
