I am a 2013 981 Boxster owner. See my garage. Previous owner of 986 and 987. I have had it exactly a year and 5000 miles of driving. I could probably write pages here about the cars. I think it would be easier to understand your requirements so I can help you. Another good forum for 981 is planet-9.
There are some excellent low mileage 981s out there and you will save a ton over new. You are going to pay more than the Nissan, even the expensive new 370z top out in low 40s. They really are very different. If you want a true drivers car and want to feel at one with the road the Porsche is the right car. If you like a powerful cruiser the 370z is nice.
You also should consider the 987 Boxsters. The 2009 'S' and up are awesome. I will say this though...the 986 and 987 are much more similar in feel than the 987 to 981. I drive 911s (991) all the time and when I get back in my Boxster I'm never disappointed.
PM me if you want to talk some more, I can help you out.
