I wouldn't pay a premium for a 20 year old car with 20k miles on it. For me the threshold is about 2k-3k miles per year unless there's documentation of proper long-term storage. Ideally if the story goes that it's never been stored long term and was driven regularly then it should have had at least 35-40 oil changes (every 6 months independent of mileage). I wonder what the seller would say if you asked how many its had. If they say "every 5k miles" or something like that then they are either lying to support a fictitious 20k miles or the car was poorly maintained.
