Thanks for the lengthy explanation. I see your point and remember watching some of the videos about problems with cars that sit too much of the time. Based on your thoughts and the guy who was selling it I think I will pass. If there is anyone out there following this thread and might be interested the ad was in the Sacramento Craigslist. It was a 99 for $12,950, red in color, and about 21,000+ miles. It was pretty flawless in appearance and drove nicely; although the clutch chattered ever so slightly.

Edit: I just looked at it again. He dropped it to $11,500. Also, if it makes any difference, he had a McClaren 12C, a new Cayman, and a RR parked next to the Boxster.
