??? Before I buy

I'm looking at 98-2002 Boxsters and found one with 129k miles with a rebuilt 5 speed and IMS upgrade. Im worried the car was driven hard causing tranny failure. Does that sound odd? Is that too many miles for these cars? My main question or concern is my road. It's dirt with rocks and bumps. Not very long but it's very beat up most of the year for about two blocks. Can it go over 5" rocks and holes or will it get destroyed? I have neighbors with Nissans and Honda's that do OK but it's ruff bedrock. I'm an expert off road driver with a rear engine car and can negotiate terrain but I've been away from sports cars for decades. Thanks for any advise!
