Impossible to tell until you have the car inspected by a Porsche mechanic who knows what to look for. Some Boxsters from Southern California can have 100K miles and need little work. While my car driven every winter needed over $10K in work, probably $7-8K in parts at this point, all before it even reached 90K miles.

$11K is only the asking price. You need to factor in the weather it was driven in, the quality of the roads, how often important maintenace was done to preserve the engine specifically the coolant system, if this maintenance wasn't done you could have potentially big engine problems so you'll need a compression and leak down test, and then add in all the things that typically go with however much mileage you have on this car.
