In the Boxster, there are ways of lowering the seats and a kit that deletes the center console allowing your right leg to splay out to the side. Note the seat position relative to your head and the rollbar.
You are looking at cars that are 15 or more years old. Great cars but parts age as well as wear.
The '00 you describe sounds like a nice car from what you say. But priced a bit more like an S (bigger engine, bigger brakes, etc). I owner a '99, totaled it. Then a '01S just because. Both great cars, very trouble free. I did the PPI with a great mechanic and knew I was going to spend $2k on a 60k plus complete brakes. Then added tires and an alignment really nothing much for around 5 years. I sold the car because of my age and changed parking situation. But I knew all those things before buying and factored them into the buying price. And so did the seller as they got the same printed report and in-person walk-through I did.
In both my Boxster purchases I bought from a private owner (neither the first/only owner, BTW) and I verified the reason for selling (kids, parking space, need for an outside salesperson's 4 door car, etc).
