3400 miles per year is not necessarily a good thing anyway, if you are
looking for a reliable daily driver. The car could have been an all
city driving car, or driven twice a day on a very short commute (i.e.
always cold started and never got warmed up properly). And check the
service records to make sure that maintenance was done by the time
schedule (where it says "every 15,000 miles or one year" a 3400 miles
per year car needs it done every year).
