original clutch? original shocks?
any known trouble spots addressed (AOS, coolant tank, water pump)?
Condition of the plastic window?
Miles on current tires?

The more of these things are in your favor the firmer your ground.
There are many Boxsters with similar mileage and have not had much major maintenance performed. The next owner will have to address these issues unless he plans to be out of the car in less than two years/20K miles. Althought I couldn't escape major maintenance after hitting 69K miles.
Cost me about $8-$10K between the clutch/ims/rms/boots, AOS, coolant tank, shocks/ca's, cats, starter, alternator and a few (not many) upgrades.

I think there's a somewhat similar car (with ~70K+ miles) on Pelican's classified for $13,500 with no takers yet, reduced from $14K. Although I don't know which options are on the car.

The only work I've needed to have done was replacement of the CV boots and a new starter. Back window looks clear as it was indoors 75% of the time. Michelin Pilot Sports with about 2k on them. The only options I went for were the windscreen and Porsche crests on the wheels. The issues with the car are rock chips in front and hood and trunk pistons pretty much shot. The car has been a weekender and gets a synthetic oil change every 5k. Brake pads changed at 30k. Serpentine belt just recently bought but not installed, although no issues there.
