So many different opinions on this, and obviously these things can die on you at pretty much any mileage, but personally I'd rather have an early 2.5 on 70k than, say, one on 30k to 40k. I certainly wouldn't have any more confidence in the lower mile car regards the engine grenading. Too many examples of low mile engines going pop for that.
For me, the sweetspot for buying an early 2.5 would probably be around 60k with a new clutch and RMS...Any fewer miles than that and I would actually be more nervous about it, not less.

agreed. i know if i were to go out today and look for a used boxster/M96, low mileage would not be a selling point for me. over 60k-65k miles would be my choice. i think once they get to around 80 most problems have probably revealed themselves ( but there's always those quirky ones that wait )...but what do i know?
