I just bought a 97 with 108k miles on it over a 99 with 97k miles on it because the owner of the 97 had all his paperwork and records, complete details on what work he had done on the car, and was very honest in pointing out any scratches or dents. Bottom line, I felt more comfortable with the guy who was in love with the car and was sad to see it go, but had to make room for his 2013 Boxster S.

If the owner has everything in line and is upfront, you can probably be assured he took good care of the car.

A meticulously maintained sweetie? Yes sir. A beater with no service history? Parts car only.
