I think that's like a 1992. Honestly, my 416 is in amazing condition with a brand new deck, and I don't think I could get anywhere near $3K for it. Maybe $2K on a good day, tail wind, going down hill....

ALL THAT AND A RUNNING START

I sold an 520xi series package a few years back mower deck, snow plow, snow thrower, rear clevis hitch with a Brinly moldboard plow and custom tool caddy all for $2500 so to answer your question yes a bit much IMO even with snow plow and bagger... But on the flip side how many show up for sale in your area and what are comparable prices vs what you are willing to pay for it ,  then that's pretty much what it's worth.

There are some people out there who are uninformed about actual value and look to see what the highest asking price on  is and start there. I would go over and talk to the seller and attempt to educate them on actual market value. If they know you aren't trying to rip them off you may be able to strike a deal. May not happen that day, but be sure to leave your phone number.

I paid $850 for my 1996 416-H. Came with a deck and a snow plow. Had 1600 hours on it. I put about $500 into it and that includes paint. Unless this one you are looking at is near perfect, I personally would not pay over $1800.00 for it.
