Or you could buy a much newer one with lots of miles... These cars run forever so does the low miles really matter??... and if you find a very new one with 100K+ it was probably a salesmans car and its all highway miles anyway... just make sure the maint has been done.. check the tranny fluid for good color, and have the car checked out by a dealer or reputable shop.
A while back I saw an 05 with 120K on it.. sell for $20,000... just as an example.
Heres an 02 with 69K on it for $21K

I sorta split the difference i went a little older and high miles. I spent $4700 on my 94 it had 168K on it. But i had all the maint records back to 2002, Timing belt changed 1000 miles ago by Lexus, O2's, complete brake job pads/rotors/master cyl at the same time. I have put 20K on it less than a year. Discoverd the dash problem for 93/94 but dont really care.. will fix it eventually.
Happy shopping... These are great cars.. very reliable... but not cheap to repair if you cant do it yourself. But I am not convinced that a little newer with less miles really decreases your odds of repair bills.. The powertrain is bullit proof.. its the gismos that may cause trouble... and age may play a bigger part with that than miles.

Wow, that seems to be a great deal. You get a great car that probably needs nothing and get rid of an older one that sounds like it's going to need money inveted.
My `96 LS400 has 194k miles and it's still the best riding car around.
Good luck with your new car and have a great holiday season.

Make sure the speedo wasn't turned back you can call any dealer and they will have the service on the car and ask them what was the last service done on the car and how many miles was it done at this will give a good reading on really how many miles are on the car. That is if the people took the car to the dealer to be serviced. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS GIVE THE VIN NUMBER ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE IN FRONT JUST BEHIND THE WINDSHIELD GOOD LUCK
