The car looks great. It is a used car and as such, things can happen. It sounds like you are prepared for whtat the car might need as opposed to thinking you are buying a perfect 15 year old car will require no attention.

There is no perfect balance of driving a car versus letting it sit. Driving the car exposes it to hazards and wears out certain components.

Storing the car is tough on seals and rubber components. I have an 84 Alfa spider that was rarely driven (no real reason) and always needed attention. I started to drive the car more often in 2007, and after replacing water pump, brake MC and SS failures all the fuel lines and cooling hoses, runs and drives great.

If you like it, buy it, drive it and fix what comes up. Enjoy!
