92K miles, good list of options, manual trans, has recently replaced tires, rotors, and pads. Assuming a good PPI, minimal paint & body dings, and bottom borescope check, y'all think grab it or run away? I usually run vehicles until they drop, both my current vehicles are well past 100k.

The price seems reasonable in the current car market. If the car doesn't have a documented service record (all the major maintenance items such as WP, AOS, spark plugs, trans oil, shifter cables etc) then you'll need to budget $$$ for the deferred maintenance. The 2006 model year is very reliable overall with low risk of IMS bearing failure or bore scoring.
A PPI will give you the best indication of the car's condition.

It’s going to be tough to find such a driver’s car for such a low price in the future. I had a 2000 Boxster S for a few years, bought and sold for $17k, mileage from 28,000 to about 46,000. That car was awesome. If it weren’t for my 2 small kids, I’d have kept the Boxster S probably.

It continues to amaze the low price of entry for old Boxsters. I am thinking of grabbing a 986 at this point....nice examples can be had for $10,000. Really cheap, you can wrench on them yourself, and you got yourself a fun ripper for less than a used Civic.
the one you mention sounds pretty reasonable. The mileage certainly wouldn’t be a concern if it has been properly maintained.
