I'm in a similar situation. I picked up my '02 Boxster S about a month ago. Its a very boring Black/Black combo with Grey interior (yes, that combination).
Mine was much lower miles, but I still think the car deserves to get a clean state from a maintenance perspective once they enter a new garage.
I did most of the things you've done (oil & filter, top, etc.). I also did the cabin filter, mine was really gross (at one point a mouse made a home in it). I replaced my front tires which weren't worn, but had some dry rot. I figure that I will place some pretty heavy stresses on those things pretty much every opportunity I get...
I assume that I'll do an OAS, MAF, O2, etc. They seem inevitiable & are really no big deal. However, I do hope to avoid a new engine...
TOP: I also cleaned my plastic rear window with Novus. Its a dedicated plastic cleaner. It made a huge difference in the visibility through the plastic window.
WINDSTOPS: With them installed - and with the windows up - the car is as calm at highway speed as many sedans with the windows cracked.
STORAGE: Suggest you read about the battery and what happens if your battery dies. Sounds like the right kind of inexpense charger will help prevent a hassle if your batter goes while in storage.
I can't believe how much I like this car so far. The car has met my high expectations for fun & perfrmance. But, surprisingly, it has far exceeded my expectations for comfort & practicality as a daily driver.
Good luck with your car.
