You sure it's not just a typo? I feel if a dealership had such a low-mileage example on hand, there would be about 100 asterisks and "LOW MILEAGE" written wherever they could possibly fit it.

Meh, means it still needs a 105k service and all that fun. Also likely has some rubber rot in places like door seals and other spots from not being used. I'll keep my car which I know is kept in great maintenance.

Take it over my car? Nope. Like I said, that thing requires 105k and all kinds of other stuff. With that low of mileage there's also a good chance the oil has slugged up and may cause all kinds of other fun in the engine. Simply changing it may not be enough as it could have left some fun deposits. You'd be looking to replace all the belts and hoses under the hood. Leather could be an issue as it can dry and crack sitting all that time. Not to mention rust is VERY likely from that much sitting.
I've had garage queens before and they're not worth all the added headache you don't expect. I'll pass.

adding about 1/2 can of seafoam for auto transmissions and letting the car idle until it has heated up followed by a filer and oil change will solve any sludge problems you have

Im more inclined to believe its a typo also because as Aman said they didn't highlight the low miles or even post a pic of the odometer showing the low miles, also look at the disclaimer * While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy of this information, we are not responsible for any errors or omissions contained on these pages.

That is a possibility with it being a typo!
But by looking at the seat wear on the drivers seat and overall cleanliness it looks like it might have been the real deal who knows. I did think about the fact that a car sitting this long could be more of a headache then not with seals and stuff.
This is basically my car to the T...Nav and color (ABP). Still would of been nice to buy a low mileage car and swap your aftermarket parts over.
We can all dream can't we
