I agree that it's 13 years old... When I first started looking last spring for a GZ250 in the VA/MD area, I saw many early 2000's w/ less that 5K miles on them for under $2000.00. It's not that a bike can't have high mileage and be in good shape, it's just that a 250cc would be more than likely used on short trips. Short trips are hard on an engine. A bigger bike, 650cc or above, is more than likely to be taken further per trip.

PS: The above are all just what I would look for. The bike you are considering just "may be" immaculate even with that many miles.
