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.
