Then drive it for a while before you do anything.
Folks will chime in about the IMS Guardian, but that car is probably a dual row (look it up) and failure rate is microscopic.
Post some pictures.

+1 on changing the fluids, the only one that would give me pause is automatic transmission. In some cars new transmission fluid in old transmissions can lead to swelling seals and problems. Other members will correct me if this is not the case in Boxsters, mine's a stick. Look at the brake rotors and pads and replace as needed. That frequently becomes the most important system on the car. Make a point to listen to it so you can recognize anything that sounds out of place. Be sure to enjoy it!
