Can I have both?
I would probably spend a little more to get one with half the miles. 996 Turbo values are all over the map. I tend to look for cars that are in the top 10% of what's available. I think the market tends to undervalue miles and condition on cars that are produced in relatively large numbers. I wouldn't go so far as to buy a 5k mile "Richard Sloan" car but I'd look for the nicest one I could find with the options that I want. I can fix a few little nit-picky things more cheaply than trying to undo the wear and tear of 30,000 additional miles.
The example you showed is a nice car, in a color I wouldn't ever consider. The driver's seat looks a little tired (I know it's a supple leather seat) and the handbrake looks like it hasn't been adjusted in a while. Niether is a big deal but it might indicate that it needs a few things.
