That's why I think the 33000 EUR one for a 2015 model is an OK deal...? Or am I just too dense to see I'm making a huge mistake.

I'm going to make an appointment to get a test drive, check for sounds and noises, check if the tires are still okay and look for swirls and scratches.
It is an extremely low mileage car that has spent most of it's life inside. There is very very little that can be wrong with it. Don't worry about the 5 years since none of the components are made out of 1950s materials that deteriorated with age. Even the tires will round out fine once driven and heated up a bit.
