'01 Boxster w/ 50k miles BUT has been in crash

Unless the price is super low, its a deal breaker. No one wants the risk of a buying an improperly repaired (damaged) car and, in turn, you'll be hard pressed to find a buyer when you want to sell.

The only way to tell if the car was properly repaired is to have a shop put it on a frame rig and measure/verify the frame alignment; pull the panels to verify that all of the replacement parts were genuine Porsche; and verify that the repair workmanship was top notch. But almost no one will be willing to go through this much trouble for a used Boxster (which are a dime a dozen). So unless its an incredibly great deal, why take the risk of buying someone else's wreck?

Your biggest problem might be when you try to sell. You'll have to convince the buyer the repair was done right, and it had no frame damage. It'd take it to a body shop in addition to the PPI. Good luck!
