You're right, and I don't fault him, but his price just strikes me as unrealistic, especially with the tire issue. He's free to ask what he wants to, and maybe he threw the tire thing in just as a dickering point, but if he'd done the kind of research as a seller that you do as a buyer, I think he'd have found he isn't sitting on the gold mine he seems to think he has and his asking price (yeah, start high) would have been more realistic at the outset.
