Found another Boxster in the same price range

Unfortunately it's at one of those "buy here pay here" type dealers, which I feel is a bad sign in and of itself, but then CarGurus shows it had 6(!) owners listed and fleet use?

Now usually that would make me run away incredibly quickly... but digging deeper it was just bounced around a lot. Carfax shows regular services at a Porsche dealer for a while, then it shows up at a few different used car dealers, but with the same mileage each time.

Not a great sign because it might mean people take one look and run, but not as worrying as the whole 6 owners thing

The one thing that might get me to look at it in person is it has PSM... I know that's blasphemy for some people, but I drive a lot, and often on some sketchy roads, and the piece of mind would be great.

There's also another car that feels like the most sensible choice here, and I might just suck it up and shell out more for it :

12k, 60k miles, 2002. Has all the options I want, IMS bearing was done (!), glass window... feels like the last owner took some real care of it...

If I could get that for 10k out the door I'd snap it up, does that sound like a realistic offer, or are they likely to laugh me out of their showroom?

^second one was already sold
