Default Need advice about an 86 Monte Carlo

This Monte Carlo was my neighbors and shes an elderly women. She bought the car brand new in 86. She has only put 47,000 miles on it in 20 years. I am 16 now and have wanted this to be my first car since i was 8. This car is immaculate. There is no rust or rot what so ever on this car. She drove the car maybe 4 times a week and only around town. It has a 5.0L. Her son is selling it for $,2,800. If I were to buy this car I would use it as a daily driver and it would be driven roughly 30 miles a day. My dad says that since this car was driven so rarely that driving it everyday will cause the seals and gaskets to leak. I am looking for any advice about this topic or any information that would help. Thank You, Jared.

Hi Jared & Welcome to the Forum,

Sounds like a super clean Monte. Does the lady have service records ? If so, check with the shop that serviced it and ask their opinion.

Also, explore the forum for information on your Monte.
Oh, post some pic's.
Good Luck with your Dream Machine
