Just from what I've read on these forums in the past 3 months:

-most members will encourage a PPI
-most members say to buy as new a Boxster as you can afford
-it seems 2k$ maintenance per year is the average (unless you are a wrencher and plan to do lots of work yourself)
-many members here with cars over 100k (mine included)
-it is recommended to do 5k oil changes (which can cost 200$+~ at some stealerships)
-just as many things can go wrong that isn't IMS related (just like any sports car)

My budget was <10k$ as well. I searched for months, 250miles around, before I found what I wanted (2000, S model, I wanted as much car as I could get). Car has a rebuilt tranny, new oil change, new air/oil separator (important), and a few other fixes.. just what I was looking for and haven't had a regret yet!

Bear in mind, I just got the car inspected, and have only put about 1k miles on it so far.

Good luck with your search!
