Look at other '97's, with higher mileage. Take the difference in price and divide that by the difference in miles - that'll be how much you're paying for the 'unused' miles.

While it's true people over-value their cars, it's the best negotiator who wins in the end. Think about how long it took you to earn this money (or how hard you'll have to work to pay the loan) and negotiate from that basis. You have something the seller wants - money. The seller has something you want, but he's not the only source of satisfying your desire. The buyer has the edge. Sure the seller can refuse, so what? You just have to find another one and as far as the Boxster is concerned, there's no shortage of them.

In the end, you have to do what you think is best. No one here can tell you what to do. It's good you're seeking advice, but in the end, you have to intepret this advice and act as you see fit. Good luck!

Thank you for your advice.I am still searching I have until Monday to pay the seller(I am already spend $185 on PPI)It's been about 2 monthes of searching for me so far I 've not meet Boxster's owner with low miles willing to sell their car close to $10k range.I did carfax,PPI,seeking advice from Boxster board.This will be my weekend vehicle I hope I will find private owner willing to sell his car for KBB or edmunds guidline but If it has a low miles and taking good care they will want more money.
