Congrats!
My '99 boxster has 58.5k miles on it now (56k when I got it) and was owned by my father for 7 years. It wasn't driven alot the past 4 years or so, but always had annual oil changes and I know the service history.
I've decided not to get mine replaced unless I decide to do it along with a clutch job, notice a bad bearing noise from the engine that appears it could be the IMS, or notice bits of plastic in my oil. That's my own personal choice - each person needs to make their own.
The car is worth ~$11-12k (mine that is). If the engine goes, it's worth roughly $4-6k in parts or selling with a blown engine. I decided I wasn't willing to invest for the retrofit upfront, and instead will warm it up properly and drive the piss out of it frequently.
