Just my 2 cents...

$10.5K seems maybe a bit high for a 99 base Boxster with 55K miles, especially seeing how it's had an accident and how it's now fall when prices on these cars tend to drop (said the guy who has spent over $34K on his 2001 S) LOL

IMS - it's a 99, so it'll have a dual row bearing which is less likely to fail. If a PPI shows no metal in the oil filter, I'd say you are probably ok (if there is metal in the filter, walk away). Me, I'm the paranoid type, so when they rebuilt my engine I had the IMS Solution put in.

With 55K you need to know if the water pump has ever been changed. How old are those tires? If over 5 yrs old you probably should factor in the cost of replacing them (and good ones aren't cheap).

Could be a great little car. I say go for it, but with your eyes open after a thorough PPI.
