Read as much as you can digest, especially the sticky "Thinking of buying a Boxster - MUST READ".
A lot of the problems are real, but you must treat each car as an individual item, depending on age, service records and how it has been treated throughout its life.

At 95,000 km, some of the "small" problems should have been addressed, such as brake discs, window regulators, ignition switch, coolant pump & tank and suspension rods / arms. A lot of these items seem to need replacing at about 80,000-100,000 km, so be prepared to spend about $2,000 per year in general maintenance costs.
The 2.7 engine is very robust, service as per the book (or sooner), treat it with respect and it will give you good service.
