I wold not worry about it one bit and buy it. Like everyone stated, check the tires and fluids and ride it like you stole it. I would talk them down on price though.
I just bought a 2006 Road King with 6500 miles on the clock 3 months ago for $6800. Didn't have to do anything at all to it when I got it home. The dealership changed all the fluids, tuned it up, and the tires were like brand new. Came with K&N filters and Vance and Hines dual exhaust. Rides very smooth and runs perfect. Best deal I ever ran across on a bike.

Shouldn't need to replace anything unless all miles were put on in 2008 and then left for the next 9 years. If it's been run in the past year nothing should need replacing. Parts/gaskets in this day and age to not deteriorate like 50 years ago. I'd check the tank with a flashlight and make sure you have an in-line fuel filter; change fluids and plugs and you'll be good to go.
Amen. You found a cherry....go pick it.
It's not like you're pulling a '48 Panhead out of a barn that's been sitting since the 60's.

I bought a 2006 Heritage with 1,100 miles in 2011. I did the normal services and it gave great service until I traded it in for a 2016 last year. I put on over 30,000 miles on it without an issue.
This was a Michigan bike. The issues I had from it sitting in a garage unused was moisture related with regards to some corrosion on the fasteners and light pitting in some chrome. They also had a cat that left some nail prints on a tiny corner of the seat and just lived with it. At the time I bought it, I paid several thousand less than the going price of other Heritages so was happy with that.
