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?

Having looked at a few SL's number 1 is probably correct. They are usualy second, third, etc toy cars.
