Or the owner was in prison all this time and recently released. He drove the car hard because it is his fun car which he missed very much when in prison. He realized from sitting so long that all of the seals have failed and he decided to sell.

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.
