It is a euro (or someone has done lots of work). If you say it's am "M", why would I want to talk you out of it (unless I could get it for myself)?? It looks like a nice ride, I would love to have it.

This car sat for 10 years. The Dash has some slight cracks in it and the drivers side front quarter panel was painted and does not match exactly. The mileage is correct. Whould you be afraid of a car this old that was not driven or updated throughout the years?
Lurk, lurk, lurk...
I didn't see where it had said it sat for ten years. The ad did mention that it went long periods without being driven (which makes sense given the miles on it).
However, due to the list of things it seems to need, I do think the price is a little on the high side despite the low mileage. There is a difference between low mileage due to neglect and well-maintained, actively-preserved low mileage on a car. This one appears to be borderline neglect.
Think hard about how much you want to spend on a car that will demand more cash immediately upon purchase, and how much patience and cash you can devote to it.
If you can get into it with realistic expectations, I think you'll be fine.
