I just bought an 02 Boxster with about 75k on it as well, and already have done the following:
Serpentine Belt (old one clearly never been replaced, SO many cracks)
Spark Plugs (also, clearly never done, but was nice tan color so no issues there)
Motor Mount (nearly split in half at the rubber)
Air Filter (also, never changed)
Cabin Filter (same story)
Right now the left rear strut is blown, and I think the front balljoints need to be replaced (loosey goosey feeling and creaking sounds). ROW M030 kit it is, and new joints.
Rear Main Seal leak.
Thankfully the clutch feels strong, but might just replace that along with the IMS and RMS in a few months, knock it all out.
All in all, not terrible, but not cheap. But I knew what I was getting into, and I rather enjoy working on these cars. Though doing the spark plugs and motor mount left my arms looking like they got mauled by a cat.
