One of my friends said it blew because I drove it on occasion to red line, yet in these blogs there are people who have tracked their cars and never had a problem..Besides I drove all my sports cars over 30 years to redline on occasion, only one engine blew.vegas baby, it's like vegas.

32k? let me guess, stored all winter?
low mileage, older boxsters seem more likely for engine failure, higher mileage boxsters seem to have a LOWER failure rate (still failures but at a lower rate)
just my observation
I would say that @119k miles it is probably a healthy one, throw a new clutch and IMS in there when you get it and drive the wheels off it
