I still like the car and I am not afraid of high miles, however, the price has to be right. Thinking low $30K's due to mileage and engine needs.
Thoughts on price based on new information would be appreciated.

Low $30s makes sense. In my experience, at that mileage you can expect some maintenance issues like rear wheel bearings (kinda pricey) and front torsion bar bushings. And of course, a "top end" can turn into a 'while you're in there' spending scenario...
From a forward planning standpoint, I always tell the people I'm advising that if you buy a 200K-mile 911, expect it's yours forever. The pool of buyers for high mileage 911s is not large.
