How much "sun exposure" and "in and out" wear and tear does a car that has been driven 1500 miles per year get? Did the owner take the roof off, drive it 5 miles and park it in the sun all day? While having someone rub on the seat bolsters and other wear items for a few hours per day?

I had an SC with over 100,000 miles on it, and it didn't show the wear that this car shows. I also have a 30,000 mile 80s 911, and while 30K is less than 43K, the condition is worlds apart. There are too many wear items that you can see, even in the crappy pictures, that indicate it is not a 43K mile car.

Here's a challenge: Ask him for the documents to support the mileage. My bet will be there is going to be a litany of excuses as to why the car doesn't have ANY documentation which could be used to track the mileage. I.e., original invoices over time that have the dates and mileage written on them. You haven't mentioned docs in this thread, but I can already tell you, they won't be there.

There's a reason for that.
