Get a PPI at a good shop first, with an oil analysis.

Price is high and low miles isn't always good.

I agree. I bought a near perfect 2001 base with 46k for about half that amount. PPI, highly recommended.

I know low miles are not that great for engines,..but what about everything else like transmission ,CV joints (CV rubber could dry out I guess),suspension parts should be ok the Cat's and mufflers ..ETC So at about a 100 miles a month should that not keep seals and such ok,..its been in Colorado for 17 yrs and in AZ since 4-2017
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)

That is way too much for the warranty also for 3 month.

Half that amount ?? That would be awfully cheap.

A 2001 in "near perfect" condition with 46k miles? Not what I'm seeing anywhere. The ones I'm seeing for $7,500 are '97 - '99's with high mileage and/or damage history.
