Perfect car for touring and occasional track day use! My 1999 Boxster was the perfect track day car with 126,000 miles when it was rear-ended and totalled.
While there are no guarentees, if the IMS bearing made it to 110K miles, it will probably make it to 120K or 150K. More likely is the standard list of problems - AOS, water pump, brakes, ignition switch, and eventually shocks, etc.
Plan on spending around $2K a year on maintanence and repairs. Learn to do as much of the work as you can yourself and your maintanence/repair budget will go twice as far (or be cut in half).
Take a look at the records (the more records, the better) and be sure to get a good pre-purchase inspection. The PPI is the best $300 you'll ever spend - you'll know exactly what you're getting into.
Best of luck!
