I'm betting something is majorly wrong. He would have sold it to a dealer for that little amount of money.

I just cafaxed it.
5 owners, clean title, no accidents show up on carfax
But it was driven about 22K miles a year for the first several years by the first owner. It had 124K miles by 07/2001 but has a whole bunch of various service records over that time.
Owners 2-4 each had it about a year and the current owner has only had it 3 months but put another 3K miles on it.

you know if you bought it for $9K, put in a new crate motor and new suspension you'd still have quiet a good deal.

Not really that great of a deal if you look at the resale value on KBB with that kind of mileage.
Condition Value
Excellent $11,275
Good $10,325
Fair $9,075

I dont know why you guys are making such a big deal, it's a high miles Porsche.. so what... How many 944's are out there with 200K+ on them?
I sold my last 951 with over 200K it was a solid car in great shape.
There are 911's with 350K miles I know of.
Are we saying the Boxster is not up to it? It better be up to it.. it's a damn Porsche.
sorry... too much caffine

I doubt it. He specifically cautions people to not be worried about all the highway miles.
It's certainly possible to get that high. I've put alot on in a year -- 23,000km (14,000mi) which is about half what he's put on (on average) and I don't drive to work every day. If he drove the car 60 miles a day to work and back (which isn't too far off of some people I know) he'd hit that amount pretty easily.
I'm lucky though.. I can walk 10 minutes to work and put all of my miles on the way to fun places like Montreal. :-)
