More reference.. I paid $11k for a one-owner 05' Black base with 22.5k.. drove 8 hours to get it. 750 miles.. may run into issues with.. well.. it's been sitting up. Mine sat for about a year.. but a six year old car with that mileage.. essentially all fluids will need to be replaced.. tires, assuming it's literally just sat.. the mileage is OBVIOUSLY a huge plus given its age, which increases price.. but you also have to consider the amount you'll need to spend to get it road-ready again.. and transport, if it's a distance away from you.
I'd look for a low mileage car that wasn't quite so low..

The owner will probably want a crazy amount because of the mileage, and probably won't care what you have to pay after the fact as a result.
