Like the others have said, it's usually attributed to lackluster maintenance for some time in the past. Check maintenance history before buying. Worst case someone had the car as a lease and never changed the oil. Rest easy after the sale by using a good synthetic oil to both prevent sludge and extend your change intervals.
