$8K-$10K range. That's variable on condition, maintenance up to date, fresh or recent tires/brakes/suspension, # of owners, documentation, etc.
I've never given much notice to whether a car is female owned, senior owned, mechanic owned, etc. Anyone is capable of giving their car extraordinary care, or a general lack of it. And driving styles at either end of the spectrum could be negatives.

^^^ Spot on Firebrian!
I wouldn't mention 'female' in any ad. Implying 'female' is not always a positive even though the connotation is that the car was driven easy. I can only relate to my own sisters and mother who believed that oil changes and all fluid changes were beneath them. Nothing to worry about. That included tire pressure too when I found my mother's rear tires down to 13 lbs on one occasion. Now if the female driver is like Danica Patrick, someone that appreciates and knows cars, that's a good thing

whats it worth 80k over 15 some years equates to 5-6k per year, way below national average of 15-20k for DD. A lot of cars with super low mileage have issues with non-use, oil leaks from dried seals, flat spotted tires, etc. If the car was driven spring through fall seasons only, and not parked for especially extended periods, the mileage seems reasonable. Living in the southwest, I don't relate to winter storage, but cars parked because of crap weather would seem to reflect ownership care of it's effects, so gotta believe that's a plus. Who drove it before to church only on sabbath, etc, should be considered with a grain of salt, or as simple malarkey. You have to look at the car, decide, and then throw the dice on it's true condition. F body cars float your boat, or they don't. If you like the car, (A4/M6, T top, color,etc) and the living daylights haven't been beat out of them (as best as you or anyone can tell), 10K for true WS6 cars in car lover "venerated" shape seems reasonable.

I agree with NC01TA about the "female driven" claim. Whether it's true or not is hard to know for sure, but it's quite possibly worse if it's true.
At 80k miles, winter stored or not, the actual condition can range quite a bit (as pointed out by Firebrian above) so it's hard to give a solid price based on the limited info and no pictures or ad. Regional pricing may vary, but generally I agree with that $8-10k range depending on details.
As a matter of personal experience, I can say that my '02 Z28 developed many more weeps/seeps/leaks and other such deterioration from the rigors of regular usage than my '98 ever has from being mostly a garage queen. Having said that, it's certainly true that many super low mileage cars suffer from neglect (fluid maintenance especially) and/or improper storage.

These cars don't seem to leak as much from non-use like older cars. My SS is clean as a whistle.
With that said, my dad's 12k mile 02 SOM Formula does have a rear main leaking on my garage floor currently
