Considering a 1993 EG Classic Thoughts?

Considering a 1993 EG Classic Thoughts?
I am considering a trade for a '93 Electra Glide Classic w/ 18k miles for my '99 Dyna-Convertable w/ 25k.
I wasn't able to find a lot of information on the older Electra Glides here or for sale to compare prices, but the Blue book is pretty close.
Price aside, should I even be considering a ride from '93?
Common issues I sould be aware of?
Thanks,
Kurt

The only things I would consider is, low mileage for a bike that old may not necessarily mean it's in good condition. A bike that's has been parked for long periods of time can be bad in some cases if not stored properly. The other consideration is, are the miles shown on the odometer correct.

I was nervous about the mileage too. Sounds like the current owner has spent a lot of time keeping up with the maintenance.
The Trans case needed to be replaced, (cracked from overtightened bolt):
"When they got it apart they noticed some wear on a couple of gears and a bearing so I had them replace anything at all that looked suspect" Could this mean a higher mileage bike?
Can I verify mileage with an engine other than with the odometer?
Thanks,
Kurt
