To buy or not to buy

I am new to the forum. I live in Socal and have found a used 2001 Boxter S for sale. It would be my first Porshe. I would drive it on weekends and after work throughout Malibu Canyon, Potereo, Decker and so on. I am looking for a car for pure driving enjoyment to replace my 2007 Mini Cooper S.

What steps should I take to insure a long and enjoyable relationship with my new toy? I am planning to have it inspected before buying it. Also, can anyone recommend a good indy mechanic in Thousand Oaks/ Socal area? Should I immediately replace the IMS shaft bearing? If so, where should I go and/or how much should I spend?

Also, I am not against spending more money on a newer model but since it will be a third car, I feel a little guilty spending too much.

Thanks,

Stephen
