I just bought my black 2001 S Boxster 3 weeks ago. 55K miles, w/heated seats.

It was listed by a private seller at $15k and I got another $500 off due to the rear tires needing replacement.

There were others similar S's available for 13.5k and up. I thinking 18k is too much except maybe for the extra set of good tires/wheels included

You will never have S envy if you buy the S now. If it will ever see a track, you'll be happier with the S.

Low miles on an old car is no guarantee of good condition as engines that don't run regularly may suffer from a lack of regular oil lubrication and in a moist state like MI some internal corrosion can cause accelerated engine wear.

A well maintained and regularly driven vehicle usually has a more predictable wear rate and lifespan. 60K is fine as the thing will likely go another 60k with no issues.
