Sometimes its better to buy the slightly higher mileage cars, knowing that parts we're replaced and used over the years. This thing underwent probably 6 oil changes, if that. lol
Just because its stupid low mileage doesn't mean it won't cause more problems that higher mileage cars. It might be even worse!
THIS!
The body would be a good candidate for an LS1 or GTE

I agree. To the guys saying it's not worth it.... obviously they are part of the new wave of buyers who bought $4,000 SC's that need a crap-load of work done to them.... and even if you did restore a cheap SC and did a repaint/interior overhaul, maintenance work, etc... it will still never be as clean as an original car like the one posted here.

agree with last 2 guys as well.. bought an 11 yr old car myself with just 70K miles and have had it for a year and it runs beautifull....... no problems at all.... so i do understand the first few guys posts but i would still give it a chance... though price is steep, for someone who loves this shape might be worth it... i know there's a lot of ppl who can afford that...... i mean just look at how much young ppl drive around in brand new lexus IS... they come in high $30s..it's ridiculous...nothing wrong with IS luv it myself but new cars are so high in price.... so what is 15k to get an old gem.. but it's not for everyone i guess...
if u luv that car.. 15K doesn't seem so bad...... better than paying 24K for something new like accords...

At the end of the day, the car is just a car and it's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. The trouble comes when you pay 15K for a car like this and then your insurance doesn't recognize it as having anywhere near that value so, one little fender bender later, the car is deemed a total and you only get a check for < 7K

a car that does nothing (and was probably babied those few miles) will undoubtedly have many issues. just like the $4000, 200k cars.
