Can't believe we own a Porsche Boxster!

[BhamBox]

I just bought a 2002 Boxster Base Tiptronic with 35k this weekend! We paid 10k, an incredible value for a high performance sports car! Although, I know that we can expect our share of repairs. It will be my wife's daily driver and planning to take it to an independent Porsche shop to have it checked out. The previous owner has had the car for the last 8 years and has not had anything done to it in the past three years. He only put 3k on it during that time. He kept it covered in his garage and would start the car up every couple of weeks. After reading this forum, I probably should have had a PPI done. I'm guessing that I need to do the 30k service and brake fluid flush. Should I have anything else done? Can anyone recommend a good shop in Birmingham.

It has not had the IMSB done, but I've heard that the Tiptronic's don't have this problem as much, and you can cut the oil filter to check for metal shavings before it goes out. I'm still on the fence about getting it replaced.
