Something does not sound right to me! Sounds like it has been driven hard!

Not necessarily. In a car that is 21 years old with only 56k miles? That means it's been sitting for much of its life. When it comes to driving these cars hard, that's not going to break them, per se. Keep in mind, that they were designed to be driven hard all day long on a nice long autobahn. These 'GT' cars seem to be happiest when you're giving them the beans! Having them sit will, however, kill them slowly.
That's ~2.6K miles/year!
