There is a '99 Boxster in my area for sale that only has 6,000 miles on it. What do you guys think of a '99 with that few miles?

On the one hand, it should be in like new condition since it's been sitting in storage. OTOH, it has no warranty. If it has a problem engine and it blows up, I'm screwed.

I do not have the option of buying a newer Boxster. I just can't afford it. It's kinda of a catch 22. If I could afford to buy a Boxster and replace the motor if it blows I could afford a newer Boxster, so I wouldn't even consider a '99 with a risky engine. Or were the problems sorted out by '99?
