I currently have, and have owned for years, an 80s car that has well under 10K miles on it.

Obviously, it sits, a lot, often for 6-8 weeks at a time.

It is, however, fully roadworthy and does get fully warmed up, taken out, driven up to redline, braked hard, etc. from time to time. It is also fully maintained.

I've never had any real problem with "seals," etc. Yes, over the years I've had a gasket or 2 start leaking, but those things happen when you drive a car, too. All the body seals, rubber, etc. are all original and are all like new.

I agree, the supposed "problems" with low mile cars is generally overstated on internet forums.
