Sounds like a PPI could sort this out. Like I said, I think I'd prefer a low miles/crash history car to a high miles/no crash car. Does that make sense, or sound like a good plan?
low mileage is not that great on Boxsters. When these cars sit awhile it can cause the dreaded IMS problem

It's better to have a 986 with 70,000+ mileage because the thinking is it's likely been driven regularly and usually IMS occurs on low mileage vehicles.
