Yea, I know Martens...in Annapolis, actually, isn't it? It sounds like a great find with plenty of mileage remaining to load it up with synthetics to ensure long life.
I would definitely confront them on their story. They bought it for a song and probably didn't have to put much into it either. My 97 V90 with 85K on it when purchased was an auction baby. I paid $9.5K for it or maybe it was $9.8K less than a year ago. I can't look right now as I'm headed out of town to Cleveland. I'd say you should go for sommething around 15K, but see what wholesale or dealer price is at Edmond's or Kelly's.
I'd be most careful about body damage and of course check out the mechanicals.
Otherwise, you're right. It's a great driving car.
