 if it is at all as described, you need to jump all over it (or needed to
 have already).  it does happen.

 guy was selling a mint grand wagoneer for $1800 on atlanta craig's
 recently.  next day, same car was selling for $7900 with another seller.

  Maybe when he says 'high miles' he means '400,000 miles', and he thinks

  Or maybe it's got water damage from leaking like a Targa?

I didn't read the original ad, but providing the tin worm has been kept at
bay, and the car given reasonable car, amazing just how many miles you can
rack up on some 911 engines.  SCs, and 3.2s will go a very long way.  Even
with high mileage, they often have lots left in they.  They are the 240Ds of
Porsches in ways. ;-)

The last car I bought on Craig's, I was the 2nd caller about 15-20 minutes after 
the ad came out. The first caller was 50 miles farther than me, and wanted the 
seller to hold it for a couple of hours while he waited for his wife to get off 
work. He called again and was bitching about him being first while I was test 
driving the car. Should have let him have it. The A/C got very weak two months 
later. I topped it off, and it failed again in Florida after another couple of 
months. I think the seller probably topped it off the day I bought it, it was 
pumping 42 degrees on the test drive on a sunny day in August.

Yep - my son picked up an airhead a month ago, had a friend come along
since friend has a pickup truck to pick it up.  His commitment to buy
was immediate even thought he bike could have been a real dog - it
really turned out to be a beautiful bike.  2 days later, it was sold
to the friend with pickup, as friend had been wanting exact same bike.
 Slow action on this sale would have meant friend would not have
gotten his long sought after bike.  Ya gotta know what you are looking
for, and even then, like this 911 - it may be rust city or whatever.

presume ac on any old car won't work long term, even if it blows ice cold.
if long term working ac makes or breaks the deal, pass

you wouldn't want the targa unless you knew the AC would be good for more
than a few months?  and how could asking the list do anything about the
future performance of the AC?

Mint?  Doubt it.   Maybe he left a 0 off?

Of course, if you're close you could buy it and flip it. ;-)  (if it's the 
real deal)
