Look around -- similar cars with 1/2 the mileage are only a few K more.

I'm confident -- given 6 months you can find a $7500, 90K mile car well taken care of
and lots of records.

The price for maintenance on the car will be the same for both -- just the 180K is going to likely need a whole lot more.

What I suspect will happen -- is you buy the 180K mile car -- put some money into it -- then fall in love and keep putting good money after bad ....

You'll do the same with the lower mileage car -- but more than likely in 5 years -- you'll have spent more on the 180K car and it will be worthless -- and the lower mileage car will be still worth something and only have 120K miles on it.

Just my 0.02c -- and I've owned MANY Boxsters (more than 6....)
