Any concerns buying a used 08 S2K with only 9000 miles?

I definitely over paid though
I picked up this 08 with 5,800 miles on Friday. Overpaid as well....

I got my 04 from this forum 4 years ago (April 2008).
The car had 3300 miles when I bought it. I put additional 53k miles since then haha.
No problem whatsoever here. The previous owner put like 800 miles/year.
Now it runs a good 13k/year

As almost everyone else has said, low mileage is generally no problem at all with these cars if they've been garage kept -- so go for it My '02 was almost 7 years old when I bought it and had only 4,700 miles on it (~700 miles per year). It now has 9,100 and will be 10 years old in August, and is still like a brand new car; zero issues.

You guys think 06 with under 16,000 miles in very good condition for $21000 is a good deal

My 2006 had 1,287 miles on it when I bought it in 2009. The owner changed the oil before selling it to me, but that was it as far as his maintenance efforts went.

Today it has 30K on it and it runs like a champ.

I think the only concern of very low mile cars are dried out seals, which shouldn't effect you right away even if there is such a problem.
