Would you buy a lease vehicle?

Okay, so I am about to drive about an hour and a half to look at a 2000 base model that appears to be a decent deal ($19k). I spend the $25 to run the carfax and find out that it was a corporate lease vehicle for the first 3 yrs of its life until 25k miles. Then another owner had it for a year and racked up another 25k on it (in one year!). The last owner has made it a garage queen (3yrs, about 5k miles). I would defintately have a PPI done, but this seems a little scary, thoughts?

Should I even waste my time going to look at this??
