I bought a really low mileage Corolla years ago … scrapped it in the end as the exhaust fell off…
Short journeys tend to leave water in the exhaust and they rot from the inside out. There are numerous reasons not to buy a car that has spent it’s life driving 300 yards down the road.
But, 11k miles is very low. Most cars that have done 100k up and down the motorway probably still have a 11k miles worth of plodding along to the shops in them. Personally I would go look at the condition. If it’s been garaged for 17 years and routinely serviced, it could be worth a punt. Some items will still perish with age but you’ll have niggles with any used car.
Prices rise astronomically on low mileage vehicles though. I wouldn’t spend that much on a 17 year old civic unless it was truly mint. Especially the older models using old tech.
