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.

"What do you mean? There are no high milage Boxsters because they are all wrecked? Im not being a smart ass I just dont know what you are trying to say."
All I was trying to say was that one potential reason for the seemingly low price is that it could be a crash-and-fix car.
Apparently the Carfax doesn't show any repairs of this nature, but I have seen the claim on this forum that they don't always show up.
I would say at the very least that this car has a somewhat troubling ownership history.

I wouldn't be so quick to jump to that. Higher end cars tend to have more owners,well at least that I have noticed.

actually now that I think about it s'more, its pretty decent sign as a Boxster owner.
how many of our cars will get into that mileage during ownership? Few
Yet with 3 lifetimes of mileage, an early lower-powered model is still a nearly $10K car garnering allot of attention.
take care of your babies, people want them!

A local garage around here, will pop a used 996 motor in a Boxster for less than $10k, and even less if he gets to keep the Boxster motor.

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
