How long has he owned it? It is really hard to duplicate the quality of a low miles well maintained car. At some point it was being driven more than 400 mi. a year or it would only have 12,000 mi. on it. From your brief description it sounds like a premium car. If so IMO around $15,000 would be about right assuming the paint is in good condition. Depending upon how far away the car is the next most important step is to see it first hand and drive it.

Good luck with your search.

The guy that ownes the car has had it for 10 years and has put on 4000 miles in that time. He lives 460 miles from me, So that is the hard part.
