Given how many cars I see on the road and for sale secondhand with completely functional engines I think your fears are utterly overblown, but it's your money. Might as well buy a brand new car with warranty if it's that much of a concern to you?

I was a bit nervous about my '03 before I bought it, then I changed the oil, drove it like I stole it and haven't thought about it since. I recommend that anybody considering an older Boxster/996/997 do the same. There are no guarantees in life.
