LOLz. I don't own a Porsche with under 150k miles on the clock.

if you were to bet on a horse, would you bet on the one that has been in the barn and only run 2 races.... or the one that never is in the barn and races all the time? Oh and the one in the barn already doesnt stop.Not being a smart a** that is pretty much what the Brumos salesman said to me when
i asked about my S with 88k. My suggestion is to find one that has been owned by a Porsche person with documentation if possible, also find a mechanic now because best case is local purchase and get a PPI. Good luck!

That's interesting advice. Can you elaborate on the rationale behind it?

I would have said something like get in at 60K and get out by 130K.

All of the cautions are reasonable.

Still the car is practically new in mileage. If mileage is a factor, wear should be practically non existent. Things do deteriorate with age, but it's worth throwing $400 for a PPI to get an idea about the car's health and find out what the deal is with the brakes. Most of the brakes are quite suitable for DIY.

And in our local market, the price is quite good. The headlights can be polished. The clearcoat?--oh well stuff happens.

If I were looking for a Boxster, I'd probably buy it. $6 grand means small or nonexistent car payments.
