The wife has given me the go ahead on a used Boxster purchase. I thought I would start with a budget of $13000 and go shopping. I have driven the 2.5 L base models but felt like I needed more. I then drove a 2000 Boxster S and it felt like a car I would enjoy driving.

I began my search on Autotrader/Cars.com and discovered several Boxster Ss within my budget with about 100,000 miles on them. So my questions are how reliable is the high mileage Boxster S? Should I consider a 2.7L base, also within my budget? Or should I increase my budget to purchase a lower mileage S? And, I noticed that many Boxsters are advertised for much more than the prices listed on Edmunds or KBB. Are the prices on these sites too low?

Thanks in advance! I look forward to any comments.
