What did you expect? Ooohs and aaahhhs and sighs of adoration from the poor huddled massses? You picked the wrong place for that.
Someone who knows these cars will be wondering how the miles were done. If the owner drove the car 50 miles, one day per week, then it sat the rest of the time, that's okay (not ideal, but okay). If the owner putted around town four miles each day for most of the car's life... I wouldn't touch that motor with a bargepole.
People who work at the dealers sometimes get their hands on one-in-a-thousand trades (the little old lady or grandpa specials) from time to time either through trades or in estate disposals, then flog them at huge prices to see if anyone bites. The target price is generally pulled out of someone's butt.
It's nice and it should fetch a good price but frankly it's in comparable shape to my '85 300d when I purchased it with 95k miles. And I paid about 1/6 of the ticket mentioned here (including transport and customs costs from NJ to Canada), 18 months ago.
Good luck with the "bigger fool" routine. It certainly works in real estate.
