A well cared for high mileage car can be great they can also be awful, it really depends on their history. Check the car out, get the ppi and have them reduce the price by the tires and needed repairs.
When I was looking for boxsters I saw some with 100k miles that were awful and another with 132k that was really nice, if it hadn't been a base I would have bought it.
It is true you can find a lot of lower mileage ones with closer to 80k miles for about the same price, but even there you could have repairs. Some of these cars have very few repairs, mine is an example. Parts are expensive but your own labor is free.

Let us know how it turns out.
Chupee - I'm the other member that Whip is referring to. My boxster has 94K on it. I bought it at 30k. Been driving it daily and I do take car of it. But also, IMO, a daily car is great. I love mine and enjoy driving it DAILY. therefore, i have a lot of miles on it. so in that aspect, i take care of any problem it has immediately. if i even notice a slight rattle, because i drive it daily, i can look into it further and take care of it. so as EVERYONE is saying, it really depends on the car. good luck. you'll enjoy it and drive it! it already has miles on it, so there's no saving miles for future selling...just drive the heck out of the beast!
