You'll receive all sorts of opinions on this, but there are basically 2 ways of looking at it:
1. It's a low mileage car...WOW! Fewer miles are better!...well...maybe.
2. It's been sitting idle for who knows how long and all sorts of electrical gremlins are going to jump out at you about a week or two after you buy it.
You can bet the cyl. head has dried out and you'll at least need valve stem seals and while you're at it a new head gasket 'cuz the head will be off.
The list COULD be endless. You have absolutely no way of knowing what might jump out at you. Remember, you're looking at a car that's how old and has been sitting idle how long?
I've purchased more than one of these "owned by a little old lady and driven to church on Sunday" cars over the years and every one of them turned into a nightmare.
Good luck.
