70K miles is right where about ~$12K in repairs and major maintenance kicked in. Before that I had exactly one unscheduled repair over the previous 69K miles which all together cost less than $400... even at the dealer.
My rule for future Porsches: in by 20K out by 50K. There are a metric ton of Porsches out there. Log onto Autotrader right now and search for 1999-2012 Carrera... a mind-boggling number of Porsche before you pile on with Boxster/Cayman, Cayenne and Panas.
Just wait for a low mileage model that has the engine you want. And don't put too much stock into the purchase price. Look more at the repairs and maintance that have already been done. Then evaluaute if the price is fair. The more of the big items that have been addressed the better, since by and large the seller will not get his money back on those very costly updates.
