It depends how it was stored. Personally, I prefer low mileage cars.
Our 77 New Yorker came to us with 40k original miles. In the 4 years that we've had it, I've had to replace the power brake booster and the thermoquad, but the latter was my fault. The 440 has dripped oil in the area of the rear main seal for 4 years, but I don't drive it every day, and it never needs oil. That's it. I have a lot fewer issues with this car than with 2 previous formals that had a lot more miles.
Similarly, we also have a 1996 Chevy S10 w/ 18k original miles. In 1 year, the only thing I've replaced on it, was a squeaky serpentine belt. My wife's 1988 S10 4x4 has 50k original miles. I've had to fix minor things on that one, like the stereo and both plastic oil pressure sending units. The 4x4 initially didn't work, due to lack of use, so that required 1 new hose, a plastic vacuum diverter valve and lube. All three cars run, look and smell like new. I also had a 76 Buick w/ 14k original miles. That 350 also had a minor drip from the rear main seal area, but again, I never needed to add oil.
If the vehicle was stored outside, forget it. If it was stored in a climate-controlled garage, it's one of the few, and definitely worth haggling over. You can't tell from pictures. At any rate, I personally think that $9,500 is too high.
