-All service records since new. New clutch, RMS, IMS upgrade (LN), new waterpump, new coolant expansion tank, new transmission, new cv boots all around, new 02 sensors, 60k service completed, new rear window.

Speaking with the owner of the second car says all the work done are wear items and weak points in the car that all boxster's will need to address eventually and all were done due to that as well as for keeping the car running a long time.

So if you had a choice between the two which are very similar color and price which do you go for? The lower miles or a slightly higher one that looks turn key?

Thanks for your opinions.
