2000 boxster - loaded, 72k $15k - Good deal?

[mcrg00]

Hi. Just to give you a sense of perspective, I bought a 2000 Boxster in August with 65K, immaculate condition with no mechanical issues, scratches, or interior issues, garaged, for $10K off of Ebay. It took a LOT of searching and a LOT of luck. I had it checked out by a mechanic that my own mechanic recommended through his contacts in California. The dealer had a 100% rating and was selling it for a friend that was the owner. It needed rear brake pads and the owner went in half on those. I flew to SF and drove it back to South Carolina. Had the 60K service done here, which cost me around $700. Put new rear tires on it, but the only thing left to do is maybe put new front brake pads on in the near future.

I LOVE this car, but as I say, I'm not sure that my buying experience is typical.
