I bought a manual trans 2010 Cayman S late last year with ~72k miles, now with ~80k or so. My family absolutely LOVES the car, and it may possibly be my favorite Porsche to date.
So far it's just been typical maintenance of a car of that age/mileage. Clutch safety switch, key fob battery, and an oil change. I'm planning to lube or replace the front suspension bushings (they get squeaky when the temps get above 80), replace the engine mount (adding the softest streetable poly insert at the same time), and replace the spark plugs. Seemingly if you have reasonable DIY skills then you'll be fine with this car.
While I'm not fond of the accident and auction history of that Boxster I'd have zero problems buying a reasonably priced "high" mileage 987.2. At $17,599 that car is a bargain assuming it's in good overall condition.
BTW there are a LOT of 987.2 Boxsters out there. Make sure this Boxster has most or all of the options you may want. If it doesn't then hold out until you find one that does.
987.2 Boxsters and Caymans are fantastic cars!
