I did the same - bought my first Boxster for $1 from the sheriff at auction.
Under a tarp and 8 inches of snow - all I knew for sure was there was four rims and 4 bald tires. Was a couple of inches of ice on the floor - ECM was frozen solid. Maybe a cat sleeping in there too. But long story short - the car came right back to life and responded well to a little care and elbow grease.

Best advice is to take your time and follow the forum for tips.
