NOT MUCH.....send me the contact info. Please! 
I paid $46,000.00 for a used Butler in a box, it was 3-years old low hours, low miles.

Are you sure its 25000 miles? On a 98?
I have a van I bought in 08 and I'm at 89000mile right now... I would look into service records to make sure it was not spun backwords....

Look at the steering wheel to see how worn out it is...is it really shiny? Is it a bit grainy (in a way when its starting to break down)?
How are the pedals? Mainly the brake pedal will show wear closer to the lower corner on the gas pedal side.
How are the buttons/switches? Are the white markings coming off? (Power windows switches will show a lot of "rub off" effect)
These are the first things to look at.....the speedometers can be turned back to showing whatever number you want for cheap....its more expensive to replace a worn brake pedal or steering wheel.

I don't know what it is worth. If the miles/hours are correct, expect a lot of leaks and little problems if it gets put into normal use. I used to be a Mercedes mechanic. We had a lot of customers that would buy an older, very low mileage, all original car that spent most of its life hidden in a garage. They would start driving 12,000 miles per year. Nothing but lots of things constantly going bad for a year or two.

This is a 2nd tm for an older owner operator who's winding down, used for floods. He's got a butler in a standard length chevy for daily use. Miles are 25k for certain, hours are 1100 no doubt at all. It's been in the shade, Everything looks like new or like it's about a year old.
