if they look like they drove it like a 90 year old I wouldnt buy it.
I made the mistake of buying one like that, and due to mass carbon build-up my compresion disappeared after it sat a week and it needs a rebuild... (just found this out today, and yes I'm gonna get real drunk tonight )

my 89 gtu had 66k miles when i got it. the little old lady only put on 26k miles in SIX years. as soon as i got it, i changed the oil and proceeded to rev the crap outta my car. so far so good no problems with the engine yet 
its time for all fluid change though. i did have issues from the ******* dealer that installed the engine. bastards. my six ports are clogged with carbon....
