i'd be careful. a car not driven for THAT long is bound to have some sort of problem after sitting for so long.

it all depends on the model, Ultra, Regular, NAV? I would rather an Ultra with 10k miles then a base with no NAV, but thats me.

yea if its base then ehh. but ifit has Nav and ML then go for it dude.. just request them to fill it up w/ gas and change the oil b4 u drive away 

Just saw an 05 with 125 miles on Ebay. If this is the one you are talking about, it looks like it is a base model and I think you can negotiate a better price with the seller. IF it never been registered then it is a good deal.

There is a phrase: "driven hard and put away wet". Except for the former part, this would apply to this car. If you want to keep a car for a year or more without driving it, the fluids should be drained (at least that is what I have heard).
3UZ-FEEEE
But you guys have to realize these fluids haven’t been used. Its not exactly like a used car where the internals, lines, and whatnot have been used.
I wouldn’t have a problem getting an oil change, filling up gas and driving off. HOWEVER.... I would really be worried why its been sitting there since '05 to begin with. Isn’t that the year we had 3 canes in one summer??
