I would agree with all of the above. I spent three years when looking for the right car. The following criteria were applied:
1. Is this a low milage vehicle ? The '98 Boxster I bought in 2009 had 38K miles, not bad.

2. Is the sale by the original owner ? Much easier to get the truth about your concerns. Most of the original owers are straight up. My seller was an original owner an sold because he bought a new Boxster

3. Are the service records available, how often was the oi changed ? My seller had all the records and gave me the shop's number that did the work. After talking to the shop owner, I had a good feel for the type of care the owner demanded

4. Not a make of break deal; but, I wanted a white car with tan interior. I got that along with my three main criteria.

The car now has 55K miles and no unexpected problems have arisen

Everyone has there own preferences when it comes to buying a Boxster, let your preferences guide you. Good Luck, the fun is indeed in the search
