re: Need help with pre-purchase of 1990 Spider (w/only 12k miles)

["Sedon, Doug (OD/ORS)" <sedond@domain.elided>]

hi all (& ken),

i'm surprised no one has mentioned the potential problems of car that just sits.
i personally would be much more interested in a circa 1990 wehicle w/say 40k-50k
miles on it, if i wanted to buy a car to actually *drive*, all other things
being equal.  unless it could be werified that this lo-mileage example has been
exercised regularly, & on a regular basis, i'd be a little nervous to start
driving it on a regular basis, unless (perhaps *even* if) it had a *thorough*
inspection.  a test-drive of, say 500 miles, wood also be nice.

one person's opinion...
