This might seem weird but I am really concerned about the low mileage especially it was a leased vehicle. Less than 4k miles in 2 years?

It says private lease, to a private person. I could be wrong but I think that's when people lease the car from the dealer for a determined period of time (usually 3 years).

I like the way this car looks in paper!!! I'd get it (after inspection, of course, and don't forget to test drive it to make sure you're OK with the car handles)

Low mileage could mean that someone is using it as a grocery getter mostly, kind of like me these days. Not that uncommon in the Bay Area.

I'd get off the computer immediately and check it out in person. Good luck!

My girlfriend bought a brand new Toyota Rav4 in January of this year. At the end of April she had put 1,000 miles on it. Some people just don't drive that much.
