I'm new to Boxsters but my wife has started talking about having kids so it's now or never.

I've found a 2000 S with 105k here locally. It has 19" wheels, tires are probably 40%, it has a chintzy early-2000's nav and bluetooth. It's clean, no chips or dings and everything works. It seems solid and from what I have read here, if it hasn't had issues with the IMS at this point, it probably won't, Is that correct?

I've got him down to $10.5k. Seeing as a baby is in the immediate future, this car will probably will need to go within a year or so.

Here are my concerns:
-Will it depreciate dramatically within the next 12-18 months?
-Am I in for costly repairs with a 100k+ mile Boxster?
-Will it properly fill the 2 seat roadster void in my life?

I'm pretty much sold on it. I think I'm just looking for validation.

The car in question:
