Logical reasoning.

#1 - I would reason a 32 year old Mercedes SL with 21k original miles was maintained by the original owner for the vast majority of it's life. I would also reason that someone with the means($$$) to afford such a car and drive it so little probably had a garage or two. I'll go out on a limb and also reason the car is for sale now because the original owner died and the person who has possession of it doesn't cherish it like the original owner did. It's the same repeating story for many cars with that mileage and age.
__________

#2 - Or, it could be odometer fraud. It's the same repeating story for many cars with that mileage and age.

It would be interesting to email the seller and see what story they'll give. I'm betting on story #1, if it's a true low mileage car. But then again, you'll also get story #1 if it's fraud.

It's up to the prospective buyer to determine what the true story is. Either way, I'd be willing to bet one of the two stories is the truth. Care to prove me wrong?
