Id rather have one with 100k than one with 9 miles. Anything rubber and any kind of gasket or seal is going to leak as soon as somebody drives it. Cars are made to be driven, not parked in a museum. ---

Somehow I doubt that that thing has anything mechanically wrong with it, maybe if they let it SIT without dressing any of the rubber bits, yeah. But this thing has obviously been meticulously cared for. ---

Shit dryrots from sitting. Even my grandmother’s car has needed rubber lines/hoses and a cv boot replaced because the rubber dryrotted. Her car is a '93 with 34k and it sits in her garage all the time. I dont think its been driven 500 miles in the past 2 years. ---

Cars are meant to be driven. youre dumb. if cars are meant to be driven, why is yours always broken? if you had a very limited production vehicle, with no miles, never titled, im sure youd see it differently. when you buy a car for 29k and 20years later its worth over 100k… think about it.
