OK, I found one 996 I am interested in, with only 1 problem... mileage..

My box is a 2000 with 40k, the 911 is a 1999 with 75k. I can buy it from the guy for 25, with litronics, 2003 bumper/lights upgrade, 19 inch wheels. The value seems right, but the mileage makes me nervous. For the price of a warranty, I can buy a newer car. Is 75 too many? It seems more likely to have normal wear problems like clutch, brakes, ect.

The speed of the 911 is tempting. But, I love my boxster and I know I won't be putting the baby in it. Maybe I should wait for a few cayman s to hit the streets, and get speed and handling.

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
