All of the above makes sense. PPI is a must to check for problems and accident/repair history. Ask to see receipts for work done - more likely available with a private seller. It is possible to get them from dealer(but they may come back with privacy issues-no harm in asking). If there are deficiencies on the PPI, use that as a way to bargain a better price. The $$$ you save you can put away for the future repair fund. Don't limit yourself to 2 cars. Take your time.
My 2001 Boxster base I bought a year ago had 34K miles on it. I budget $1-2k a year for maintenance. Good luck and enjoy.I prefer dealing with a private seller.
