This seems like an outrageous price for this car -- 61,000 miles, on
owner, probably needs new paint soon, clean interior, no obviou
dents/scratches/defects

Is there any reason a private seller would be asking $17K for a ca
that's normally valued at about $4K, except just to make a fast 1
thousand

:shock

Uhh, $4k? I don't think so.

A really crappy example of a 1980 911 Targa will still fetch about
(US)$8500.

With 61,000 miles, the price goes up. Normal mileage is 150,000 miles
or more with reliability to double it without a problem.

How is it that it will need new paint with the low mileage? Sun fade?
Too many rock chips?

Without seeing the car, I will admit that $17k seems high, but $14-16k
isn't. Especially with those low miles. If he has all the records,
that's a bonus, too. He's not too far off.
