Questions about my first Boxster

[Coffinhunter]

I am going to be picking up the beauty in a couple of weeks.

A 2003 Boxster S with approx 26,000 miles. The car is/was my mom and step-fathers and has been meticulously kept. Before I pick it up they are going to flush the brake fluid (I understand needs to be done every two years) and change the oil. The tires are just a couple of months old. They also replaced the battery last October. They have used nothing but tier 1 gasoline. Needless to say the car has been babied.

My questions are:

1) I don't have a Porsche dealership real close by (About an hour away), and was wondering the best place to get the oil changed. I don't have a place to do it myself.

2) Since this car was not driven a lot, is there anything I should look for? I will be using it as a daily driver.

3) Any other maintenance issues I should be thinking about?

4) The car is all original, anything else I should know?

I feel like a giddy school girl waiting for the pick up.

Thanks in advance!

Beautiful car -- Lucky guy. Since the car has been well maintained, and you're on top of the things that will need to be done ASAP, it looks like you're in good shape. As for a stealership, most of us don't use one. They charge waaaay too much for anything and everything. Ask around and find a reliable independent garage that understands German cars, hopefully Porsche's in particular for all the little things. You may have to travel a bit to find an indy who can do larger jobs.
Here's wishing you years of safe and fun Porsche-ing.
