Are low mileage cars risky?

I love my low mileage '04! I bought it with ~13k on the clock. The first owner was a Porsche dealer, and didn't drive it; the second was an enthusiast who put a bunch of dollars into in preventative maint. and upgrades. So far, no issues. It's essentially a new car at 40% of the cost.

I bought my 2000 S three years ago with 10,400 miles and paid a premium for its pristine condition, records, and the seller (immaculate very upscale home with a garage you could eat off the floor. After three seasons of driving it as almost a daily driver between april and November, I've got 27,000 miles. The only things I've had to do to the car is annual oil changes before putting it in hibernation, change the coolant container cap, a window regulator, and keep it clean and waxed. I'm not at all mechanical but get it inspected when I get the oil changes and enjoy it during the warmer months and hope for the wintery months to pass quickly.
