I have had my '99 Boxster for two months. Here are my suggestions:

Safety, then Function, then Appearance:

Safety - New brakes (rotors and pads). An excellent braking system is always a great investment in a used vehicle and most used Porsche's are in need of replacement.

Function - New tires. Seems that every used Boxster needs new rear tires and you might as well do all four and get what you want. I got new Michelin PS2's.

Appearance - Painted brake calipers. Everyone will notice them and it really gives the car a great sports car look.
