Wow! Seriously low mileage!!

Odd he spec'd it without the nav unit?? Not necessarily a bad thing, but not something you often see/hear about.

Price seems good though.

How the hell did he keep the mileage that low. Thats like Hyper car/ garage queen kind of mileage for 5 years !! Still think for that money a slightly higher mileage 2011 or 2012 would be better because of the suspension tweaks and cosmetic tweaks. To each his own. This thing is still literally brand new . LOL I dont even know if the motor is fully broken in

Hhahahah mafia. Thats funny.

Well I bought my 2011 for 47k and it had 14k miles on it. But it had 10k in mods so this is a good deal.

Scared me to know there is only 900 miles on it and hes getting rid of it. I would want to know why he is getting rid of it.

That sure is one of a kind. Extremely low miles and even more rare without the nav.

Sad, that thing collected dust for 5 years! Averaged about 200 miles a year or 16 miles a month.

Fair deal. But more importantly gotta wonder if this car was affected by the floods from Hurricane Sandy.

Fremont is a long way from the east coast.

I am always weary about cars with such low mileage that are 5+ years old. I can understand if it like the very first F to roll out of its line (like 0001 in 2008) but its not. Its not even a Nieman Marcus F.

In my experience, I find that cars with ridiculously low mileage always tend to have more problems than driven regularly cars. A couple years ago, my buddy found some year 1997 Oldsmobile that had 15k on the dash. We went and checked it out and the mileage was legit on a digital gauge, the car sat in the garage. He bought it and it ran good for about a month before suspension went bad even tho visibly it looked in new condition. Engine heads and significant damage from lack of lubrication every time the car got started and the list just added up even though the car visibly looked great.

I just owuld rather buy a car that I know that runs well for thousands of miles than one that sat for years

Just depends on how it was used. The guy who thinks he is helping it by starting it for 10 seconds every week is the kind of car that can end up being a nightmare.

If it was taken out every month for a decent drive and everything up to temp, that will be a good car.

I have an 11k mile car from 1995. Mechanically perfect.

Is there a difference between storing modern cars vs. classic cars.. I'd imagine it would be less of a hassle now.

I don't know if it is just me, but this car is a true meaning of super pampered car. Always in the garage!

From what I have seen cars fair just as badly from age than those with miles. In my opinion a car sitting for extensive periods of time means you are essentially firing that engine up nearly bone dry every time. Old gas. Etc. Can't be good.
