'09-'12 Boxster S High Mileage Concerns?
So after 30 years of air-cooled bliss, I've decided my next car will be a 987.2 S model.
I've been looking now for a few months and have found a number of cars with 15-45k miles in the $28-35k asking price range and then some nice looking cars with 75-100+k for $5-7k cheaper.
This will be a daily driver which I plan to "Sharkify" and then keep and enjoy the car for many years. My basic thinking was, find a lower mile car that has been well cared for which would be the better basis for a tweaked motor and so that I'd know the maintenance and care for the lion-share of the car's life.
But I don't want to pay the kind of premium for low miles that owners seem to be asking and I'd like to hear from 987.2 owners who know what these cars are like to maintain. Other than deferred maintenance like tires, lack of records, or things that pop up from a PPI/DME check, is there really any reason to not embrace a 75k+ mile car in otherwise good shape?
Thanks,
John Mackay
