No. My 03 GS430 has 137K miles and I don't think I can get $9K for it much less anywhere over $20K. Maybe he meant 14.5K miles, but even at that low mileage I wouldn't pay anywhere near $20K for it much less near $30K.

I think the seller is just trying to take advantage of a naive buyer, but with the power of the internet nowadays, I don't know who he/she can fool someone into paying that much.

That is just insanity or stupidity, car with that many miles and year is worth no more than $12k and that's pushing it...
