First Porsche Purchase

Hi all, I'm considering buying my first Porsche, and was recommended to check this site. Looks like a ton of great info!

If anyone would like to chime in, here's info on a car I'm looking at today:

1998 Boxster S James Dean 550 Scheme (not sure what the last part means?)
Automatic
Engine replaced in 2000 to fix IMS issue (by dealer under warranty)
120k miles, 90k on new engine (seems a bit high compared to some on here?)

2 Owners, first owner was a mechanic at Porsche dealership, so all maintenance has been done throughout its life.

Asking price is $7,500. Does that seem slightly high with the mileage? Or not really?

I've always wanted a Porsche, is it worth it to get something like this, considering I know nothing about fixing cars, or should I wait a bit and get a newer one?

Any opinions or comments are welcomed!
