I think in the description it mentioned that the car had been started regularly, and had regular oil changes. I think it also said that most rubber parts (including tires) and timing parts had all been replaced with OEM. I think it really is ALMOST comparable to a new car. It would seem others agree, and don't feel that price is ridiculous, because it seems 7 people have bid on it, and that price is a CURRENT BID, not an asking price.
