18K ? LOL... I drive that many miles in 6 months.

Garage queen !!

Funny, garage queen's are ok, have to assume the owner had little reason to drive it. But during my Air Force career, a Hanger Queen was a derogatroy statement about an aircraft that just always seemed to have problems or one significant problem that just couldn't be fixed.

Good luck!!
Extreme low mile cars can be interesting....they sometimes still have "NEW CAR" issues, but no warrenty....hopefully it has been matained regularly, and driven the same...
I would flush the brakes, coolant, and change the oil asap.
Have fun, and 99% sure the tires (if oem) are toast too due to age!!
