Should I try to buy this 3700 mile ‘03 AE?

[Cool 50th AE]

Looking for any input if you see anything wrong or misleading in this BAT listing.
I seriously want to try to buy this but nervous about getting ripped off.

Normally I would never buy a car sight unseen but this looks like what I’ve been trying to find.

Do you see anything not right with it?

It's an illinois car, it has bsm, it's automatic, and it's only been driven 102 miles in the last 16 years

Everything looks new and in order. It's a buy.

I would try to get someone you trust look at it AND drive it.
Helluva deal if honest ad.

This. It sure looks right, but I'd want to see it in person, or have a trusted friend look it over for an objective opinion.

I’m guessing it needs a new set of skins all round.

That worries me, not being able to see it in person.

But it looks like it was a collection of cars stored in a warehouse and then the owner died.

@Glenn930 That is a great question, to help you and anyone else, we have many vehicles. The founder of our company recently passed away, these vehicles were something he enjoyed, and he collected. Many of these he would only drive, and they were always ready for him at any time he would show up. They were started and maintained even if not driven in case the owner wanted to take them out on a whim. This is one of them and was stored in a climate controlled building with very limited access to who can get in this building. I hope this helps answer some questions.

Hey wait, don’t you already have one of these?

So buy it. Might need new tires, but not much else if that’s true.

Much higher mileage AE’s sell for close to 30K

That's what I was wondering with the whole "Kewl Fiddy" thing.

Maybe this one is an imposter?

I bought a new ‘03AE in 2003 and traded it 2 years later for an ‘05.

You guys are thinking of 03 A/E that posts in the bar thread over there.

Looks & sounds good to me.

If you are looking for a specific vehicle and a specific color, you will always overpay.

You should consider that. Tires may look good but they could be as old as the car. My wife's 2015 Sonata only has 15k miles on it. Garage kept. Tires "look" fine but I replaced them recently simply due to age
