My 98 has 116k now. Apart from a blown waterpump, it's been reliable. I haven't done the IMS, but will do so when the clutch needs replacing. My Boxster was my daily driver for a year, and still sees ~50% use in the summer.

The problem with 100k miles cars, and early Boxsters in general, isn't any special Porsche issues but normal old car issues. A lot of things are worn out by then. If the PO recently replaced most of it, the car should be reasonably trouble free.

Early Boxsters are pretty cheap now. If you can find a good one, and can do some maintenance work yourself, they're a pretty cheap car to run.

I personally wouldn't pay a premium for a newer/low mileage 986. I'd be looking at a 987 at that point.
