So the owner has a record

of 11 oil changes, 5 brake fluid flushes, etc? There are things that need to get done based on time and not just miles.

2k miles per year is on the low side and things like tires deteriorate with age as well as miles. So ask about the age of the tires...verify with the date on the sidewall.

And there are problems specific to the early 99 build cars that come out at low miles so a 99 is a case where low miles may (or may not) be a bad thing depending on build date.

Plus the seller probably values the car at more than it is worth just because it is low mileage. Boxsters aren't collector cars...too many built and not special enough because of that.
