2000 Boxster S Pre/Post Purchase Maintenance

Hello,
I am brand new to this forum and will be picking up a 48,000 mile S this coming weekend. the car is beautiful and the seller has been very forthcoming with everything he knows about the car. It has been owned by an old man who had bought it for his wife. Now that she has passed on, he has no use for the car. I was hoping you all could provide your opinion and insight to what I should do immediately when I have the car.

The car has not been driven much in the last couple years. only about 500 a year for the past three.

IMS has not been done yet, and it is within the engine numbers with the single row bearing. Should I have a shop retrofit it immediately, or wait until I can use my lift at home this coming winter to do it myself? If I can I would like saving a bit of money, but I also do not want to risk this engine. What do you think?

Anything else you all can think of would be much appreciated.

Thanks!!
