Highest Mileage Boxster???

I'm curious what kind of "high mileage" boxsters are out there running around and still run great...

there are tons of boxsters out there with 50k or less. When you scan the for sale pages, you don't see a lot of them for sale with over 100k. Is that because they all die before they get there?????

i'm considering buying a boxster and most of the ones in my price range are 60-75k mile cars.... i'm wondering if i realistically will have much life left in it?

I have an old Volvo with 135k miles. there are cars like mine running around with 250k miles on the orig motor..... i'm not expecting THAT out of a boxster..but is it realistic to expect to get a good 150k out of the engine/tranny or is that fantasy land and it will go boom before then?

of course i'm only talking about well maintained, NOT abused, etc cars.

i know any car can get an RMS or IMS failure w/out warning...

given the cars I"m shopping for - this is only addressed to 986 cars... 987 cars are way out of my price range. i want to spend 20k or LESS.
