I wouldn't go anywhere near an old car with very low miles even a lexus, cause it means it wasn't ever driven and if it was, it was all hard local city driving miles. for example, id rather have a 2001-2 with 150k on it that was really well maintained than one with 10k on it. cause it means the retractable top was never used, which can gum up and cause all kinds of problems, all the rubber is going to be dry as hell and original etc. I really don't know what the allure of a old car with super low miles on it is, cause it usually doesn't end well....

I don't think this thread was started with the intent to evoke a debate. Every one has an opinion and with regard to using or not using a car there are a lot of differences . I for one do use my car its started every week and run long enough to warm everything up heater on or air cond on Tire positions changed. I only use my car as far as any mileage goes for joy riding only. I never go in stop and go traffic and all my miles are highway. If I cant put the top down I don't drive it. My garage is heated year round and is temp controlled as well as moisture controlled.. I detail the car every 3 months and the top is dropped at least 4 times a month even if I am not using it, I take pride in doing the proper maintenance . I wipe down all the rubber moldings with 303 and maintain the leather with leathertique . I have never had a single issue with my car in 11 years other then a radiator that had a crack in the bottom which was replaced under factory warranty. In fact the only other issue I had was when I took the navigation unit out to install a work around
for navigation working when car was moving. I pulled a wire off and went to Baltimore and had the pleasure of meeting Johnny Cake and Habious who helped me make the repair of the wire. It was a fun day.
There is a difference in the way some people put cars away . I don't just put it in a garage and walk away.

I'll chime in with this: I have a 2003 SC with 15K miles. My 3rd SC in 10 years. My wife and I drive it whenever we want, but usually wait for Top Down days. This is my best looking car over a RX450h and ES 300h so we take care of it a bit more. One of the SC's had over 120K miles on it when I traded it off. Never had a problem with any of them.
Cheers,
Larry
