Only 2000mi? You have to consider where they are and likely what type of person the owner seller is. The SF (San Francisco, CA ... and don't call it Frisco https://google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=no+one+calls+it+frisco+"the+city"; ) area, like the SF bay area has its own micro-environments of people (neighborhoods), employment, traffic, weather, etc. In other words, if you go 10 miles away, it can be a whole 'nother (total different) ball game. Take a look at the background in one of the ad's images http://images.craigslist.org/01010_dlgUUUTe8sH_600x450.jpg That is not where they live, and likely the (clean, newer looking area) shot was taken somewhere else to not only for anonymity, but to help sell the EV (the age of the bldgs and the landscaping look like at a S.SF warehouse). The CL ad sez the owner lives in the Cole-Valley https://www.coldwellbankerhomes.com/ca/san-francisco/cole-valley/?groupId=0&sortId=1&offset=0&z=17&c=37.766702%2C-122.450514 or Ashbury-Heights https://www.coldwellbankerhomes.com/ca/san-francisco/ashbury-heights/ neighborhood, where 1bed/1bath condo starts at $.7M, up to an old (1900's) Victorian home costs ~$3M. http://wolfstreet.com/2015/05/19/how-over-the-top-crazy-san-franciscos-home-price-and-construction-boom-really-is/ They may look old-n-crummy on the outside, but renovated/nice on the inside http://homeguides.sfgate.com/remodeling-victorian-house-8573.html What little outsiders know of this area, everything is in a constant state of flux/change, so what you have heard is ancient https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haight-Ashbury#Recent_history Housing are built tall on a small footprint of land (meaning a small garage), and their all side-by-side, looking the same (hence the song) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Boxes Living in this area means both being prepared for and being in denial of another big-one (earthquake, which over due). How badly your residence will be totaled depends on how crappy previous owners used fill, which cause liqudifcation (unstable ground) http://thefrontsteps.com/2010/11/22/san-francisco-neighborhoods-prone-to-liquefaction-and-earthquake-induced-landslides-bedrock-vs-landfill-take-two/ Their neighborhood is at a relatively moderate risk, but they could come home to find https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6c/LomaPrieta-Marina.jpeg/800px-LomaPrieta-Marina.jpeg [History: looking back at 1851 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6d/SanFrancisco1851a.jpg/800px-SanFrancisco1851a.jpg some of today's SF bldgs look about the same style (maybe they survived the 1906 quake). Those were the CA gold-rush days when ship owners profited with a one-way trip to SF carrying would-be-miners, sank and land-filled over their ships, and sold that new land for a profit. They are still finding buried ships deep underneath SF https://google.com/search?q=buried+ships+underneath+SF Most of the SF land had been sectioned off and bought by the WW1 era https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_San_Francisco#/media/File:1914_San_Francisco_Birds_Eye_Map_by_Peter.jpg And built-up after WW2 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/Lockheed_R6V_Constitutions_over_SF_1950.jpg After the last 1980 quake, the 1990's .com boom also hit SF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_San_Francisco#Dot-com_boom with its own pockets of hi-tech and bio-medical firms (by that time it wasn't just Silicon Valley that had them). ] All-n-all, the seller's neighborhood is not that bad (as bad as others). So, if I speculate the owner has a good income (enough to afford an expensive SF place to live, and an expensive EV-toy to play with on weekends, or that rare time they might get off from working so hard to keep up, i.e.: the rat-race). Their asking price $87k is high, (use 94117 zip) http://www.kbb.com/cars-for-sale/cars/tesla/roadster/?r=469293951522558900 when you can buy a low-mileage Tesla-S for about the same money http://www.kbb.com/cars-for-sale/cars/tesla/ but some people are willing to pay for the classic looks of the roadster. IMO, no only 2000 miles is not that odd when you work-work-work to earn the money to pay for all the high costs of the area, and have little time to play with your expensive toy.
