I assume that you have read all about buying your first Boxster posts above?
Yes I prefer buying privately - bought a 2001 Box base from an exec type. Was easier to get receipts for work done. Finding one with new ims would be like finding hens' teeth I would think.

I notice that you are not in a rush. Prices are lower here in winter. Take your time.
Look for one with options you want. The more you try the more you see what is normal - ie don't buy the first one you see. Check MikeFocke's articles on the Boxster.
I prefer lower mileage - my 2001 had 30k miles on it when I bought it. And of course a PPI is a must and spring for the oil change to check for metal.Look for illuminated CEL light before starting motor.....
