I agree that 23,800 seems to be about right for that particular SE. But it’s more than just a 2004 car with 9,000 miles. It’s a 550SE of which there are only ~500 in the US. Agree with it or not, on average it’s currently the highest value production 986 and probably will remain so. It has all the marketing paraphernalia which collectors love along with enough production differentiation to make a discernible difference to people who care about that kind of stuff.

For me, I just drive mine and enjoy it, it’s a well cared for 108k miles driver
