Seems a bit pricey at $31,500 - even with 16,000 miles...

What do you think it's worth?

Glad you like the run-outs. Thousands with 100K+ mile cars have that same opinion. For the most part they push the idea, high mile cars are ok.
These days we are seeing the extreme, run-outs with >100K and collector grade with <30K.
The really clean low mile cars come from wealthy households or enthusiast, in both cases they are not the primary mode of transportation, so rather than putting on miles commuting in stop and go traffic 30 miles a day these cars were driven to the country club two times a week and to the yacht club once a week and oh maybe a trip to the FBO once or twice a week for a total of like 60 miles a week.
The run-outs come from a very different place, they are the primary mode of transportation the "daily driver" and of those, many do not have a nice garage at night or covered parking during the day (talk about dried out), they are used to haul everything that will fit, pets included. In these households this car has multiple duty cycle per day, not to mention the excessive number of (SBC) brake applications in stop and go commute. Because it is the only car, the maintenance and service work can suffer as need for car makes for hurried work.

I know what matters to me, and I am happy there are people that think low miles are a bad thing.

Hahahahahaha on the Mexico run, I did not realize that it was that loud. I may not make south of the border again any time soon. Sorry for the bad cell phone pic but I just realized that I do not have very many pics of my car. I'm waiting for my son the photographer to do a little photo shoot before he heads of to Cal Arts.
Attached Thumbnails Seems a bit pricey... ?-image.jpg
