Buying a Porsche

I need to get a Boxster out of my system, so I plan to only keep it for a summer or two.

Running costs are well documented so the question is price and condition - pay about £12k for a seven-year-old with history or £16-17k for a five-year-old with history?

Have seen two 06 platers with history but 75k on the clock; apart from resale what would be the downside of that?

Porsche used prices are very mileage dependent. But the less they are used the more goes wrong. So the practical bargains are late, higher mileage cars.
