but car fax stops mileage at 19.350 it has 24. something. ??

Does the Carfax show regular service, like annual oil changes and steadily increasing mileage? No 5 year periods where mileage only increased by 1,000?

Carfax has its limitations, but what it tells you is usually reliable. What it doesn't tell you is the problem.

No, it's not a plus, it's a minus. The double row bearing used on the '97 - '99 Boxsters are reported to have a much lower failure rate than the single row IMSB used on the 2000 - 2005 MYs. (2005 was a transition year)
