original clutch? original shocks?
any known trouble spots addressed (AOS, coolant tank, water pump)?
Condition of the plastic window?
Miles on current tires?

The more of these things are in your favor the firmer your ground.
There are many Boxsters with similar mileage and have not had much major maintenance performed. The next owner will have to address these issues unless he plans to be out of the car in less than two years/20K miles. Althought I couldn't escape major maintenance after hitting 69K miles.
Cost me about $8-$10K between the clutch/ims/rms/boots, AOS, coolant tank, shocks/ca's, cats, starter, alternator and a few (not many) upgrades.

I think there's a somewhat similar car (with ~70K+ miles) on Pelican's classified for $13,500 with no takers yet, reduced from $14K. Although I don't know which options are on the car.
