I had a 90k service done at 42k upon assuming ownership. My choice. So it may be a plus, may be a minus. It also could be they did the 90k (which adds a transmission service on a TIP car to what is done for a 60k IIRC) but documented it as a 60k.

But where is the 30k, the 90k and it may be it needs a 120k given that the 60k was 6.5 years ago, tires, top, etc which could be $3k or more. I spent that on my second Boxster in the first month.

Then there is the body, paint issues.

I still think if you look you can do better. Even if the initial cost is a bit more.
