Funny you should mention the brakes. I also noticed a lack of feel and lack of initial bite in the high mileage 2000 S I bought a few months ago. No leaks, and if I press the pedal hard enough I can activate the ABS. I thought possibly the vacuum booster might be bad but I tested it by pressing the pedal multiple times with the engine off and then starting the motor with my foot on the brake. I could feel the pedal react to the vacuum and I could hear some hissing when I originally pressed the pedal so I assumed that's just the way the car is built. The brakes on my pickup truck have a better subjective "feel". Just another data point for you. I'ved owned several cars with Brembos and they all felt better than the Boxster. Eventually I'm going to replace the pads. Maybe they've been contaminated at some point in their life.
