Personally, I would rather buy a driven car with excellent maintenance records. I would suspect that these low milage cars are just going to sit in someone's garage as a conversation piece. In addition, if they are going to be driven, they will probably need a bunch of maintenance to get them up to par with our "Drivers".

yes i agree with the low milage presenting a potential problem. when i was looking for a z to buy i set my milage requirements from 20K to 40K. wanted it low enouph someone hasnt ran the crap out of it but high enouph it was broke in. so i could drive it and have fun and not worry about every mile costing me hundreds in resale value or haveing to overhaul everything before i could feel safe driving it. these guys that have the 1000mile cars,sure thats awsome and great for invesment purposes, but i would like to enjoy it........at least a little bit! i think you hit the nail on the head there.:thumbsup: i got a 90 with 32K on the clock...........peeeeeerfecto!
