Purchasing advice: Low mileage S. is boroscope necessary?

I am looking at purchasing an S model built in 2000 but 2001 mode year.
The car has just 130,000km or 80000miles.
Looking at the records, this car was driven mostly in the first 7 years averaging 14000km a year and then 3000km a year up to 2015, when was last sold and sat unused for the past two years.
The car looks great and sounds good, but I am looking at your advice on how to deal with such a “garage queen”

The local Indy suggested a two stages ppi
1- visual inspection and computer reading 200$
2- if everything checks out then removal of spark plugs and video inspection to see the state of the cylinders 400$

Is it worth it to go all the way?
What should I check on such a low mileage car?
Thanks for your kind advice
