Is really low mileage gonna give me problems

No major worries. For a 2011, some minor "catch up" maintenance might be needed.
- Tires, check date codes, replace if over 10 years old (some folks say 7 years or even less)
- Coolant. Without an actual dated receipt that's less than 4 years old, change it. Repeat change every 5 years. Mileage doesn't matter, it's a time thing. Neglecting this is the biggest cause of heater core failures.
- Brake fluid should be changed every two to three years. Just use a turkey baster to empty the reservoir, put fresh fluid in there, and bleed the system until you see clear, fresh fluid at all calipers.
- Clutch fluid, same as brakes.

Found a 2013 Grand Sport with 22,000 miles, it's close to home. It still has a GMPP extended warranty. Clean Carfax
Will check it out in the morning.

I love those "garage queens"! I picked up a 2008 vert with z51 and 3LT with 9600 miles. It had original 10 year old Good years which I replaced with Michelin run-flats 2 weeks ago. This thing feels very solid, like a brand new car.....even smells new inside.
