			The majority of the replies here will be to get a PPI (Pre Purchase Inspection) done on the car.  The idle thing could be something as easy as cleaning the throttle body, or something much more ominous, and you are taking a gamble if you don't have a PPI performed.  
 Even though he has maintenance records, from the sound of the mechanic's abilities he wasn't a a very good one.  I changed the plugs on my 2001 2.7 with no problems and it was the first time I have done it.  And 50k of those 95k miles could have been at redline.
 
 Bottom line: Unless you are getting a screaming good deal, there are a lot  of used Boxsters out there.
