I bought a high mileage 2000 S a few months ago for $12k. I didn't get a PPI. I drove the car a long ways and went with my instincts. My top was good and there were receipts for recent repairs/service. The car was neglected cosmetically but a little buffing and TLC helped a lot.

If you are in a postion to get an inspection it would probably be a good idea. If the car feels good and drives well I would at least put in on a lift and check for oil leaks. It can be pretty expensive to fix the rear main seal, for example.

My car has subsequently required some work but nothing very expensive. If you like the car go for it. They're fun to drive.
