I thought JFP was objecting to the absolute nature of the statement against not buying a low mileage car.
His example is a well maintained, low mileage car with the added advantage of the best bearing known (I'll be disputed by someone, I know). So you'd be smart to buy it even knowing that there are parts that can age-fail as well as wear-fail. Plastic and rubber parts, for example, seals, weatherstripping, windshield mounting rubber, etc.
Every used car is a crap shoot. Choose your mechanic before you choose the car. Get a PPI. Know the motivation of the seller. Keep some money in reserve for the possibilities. They are wonderful cars.
