I just went through the same thing. Cash buyer looking for a "mint" vet having no problem paying at the top of the price scales for such an item.
Bottom line, after seeing about 30 different cars I bought a DISGUSTING filthy Vert that at least had oil changes and no mechanical issues for a few grand under book. About 20 hours over two days in the garage of shampooing, pollish, wax, ph balanced leather treatment she is the car I was looking for. Good luck, from my experiannce a "mint" vet IS hard to find in the NorthEast.

No kidding, I wax the tractor once a year and follow and log the service intervals to a "T" using only Kubota fluids and filters. The Vet still had original wiper blades

People's advertisements crack me up, they think because they call it mint and say that its garage kept, that it actually means something. When i was c5 shopping, i went to look at one and as the ad stated, "never taken out in the rain, garage kept". when i pulled up, it was outside in the driveway as it was raining, you could see where the road water was splashed down the side of the car, and as for garage kept, the garage was so full you couldn't get the car in it if you tried.....so i figured anything else he had to tell me was probably just as much bs too, so i passed.

Unfortunately it happens more often than not. Buyers and sellers often have different interpretations of the same words...
Keep looking, there's plenty out there.
