Welcome. Congrats on the purchase. To me that mileage is nothing to frown upon, that just means whoever owned it drove the car while they were paying for it. It just makes no sense to me to spend money on something that's meant to be driven and not drive it.

...I hope you plan on adding your own 88k to it.

Yep nothing wrong with a high-er mileage car if it's properly maintained.

Ditto, I have over 212,500 miles on 986 and will be taking a road trip (California to Michigan) in August. Take care of your Boxster and it will be one of the greatest joys in your life.
