Agreed - I'd be cautious of a car with really low mileage like that. There are only 2 likely scenarios:

1) The owner made lots of short trips and had a short commute. Cars like to be warmed up and run for a bit. Maybe the guy lives 2 miles from work and the car never gets fully warmed before he shuts it off. That's hard on an engine...

2) This was the owner's "fun" car, which sits a lot. Cars don't like to sit. And the owner ran the snot out of it having fun.

That said, if the car has been well maintained with regular fluid changes based on time rather than mileage and hasn't been "run hard and put away wet", then this could be a great find.
