Is Low Mileage Worth a Premium?

OK, here's the deal. I'm trying to sell a 1999 Saturn SL1. The car is in good condition (some scratches on the hood and roof) but otherwise in very good condition. The KBB on the car in good condition is $3,000 and excellent is $3,225. My dilemma is that the car has extremely low miles at 23,000 so I tend to think it should be worth more. It was my Mom's car and she only drove it to the bank, supermarket, senior center and doctor's office.
It appears we may have a buyer offering $2,800. My question is do you think that is a fair price given the low mileage or is it a steal? Of course, things are made more complicated because I'm on the west coast and the car is on the east coast(NJ) so my sisters will handle the transaction.

Thanks
