With that low miles...

Make sure it's not a bottom-of-the-line car, like a LG4, and that it's ALL THERE.

It's not going to "run" "good"; prolly won't run at all. Doesn't too much matter. That's not a daily-driver type of situation.

Just make sure that all the pieces are present and accounted for, and in good shape.

Be prepared to call a roll-back wrecker to get it home. Don't even HALLUCINATE you're going to drive it.
