Welcome to the low-mileage 4th Gen club. How did you manage to find a 98 with such low mileage? That's a one in a million find you've got there.

Like I said, good find! Did you manage to obtain the maintenance history on the car? I suspect the car is an automatic. You might want to ensure that the tranny fluid has been drained and filled by now and that the radiator has been flushed before. When was the oil and filter last changed? Given an elderly guy owned the car, he either may have been **** about maintaining it or might not have cared less. Just a heads up!

Is it cloth or leather interior? Sunroof? Bose system?

Just get a radiator shop to do a pH test of the rad with a strip of paper they use. You may not need the rad flushed but can get it checked out for free in most places.
