I got the car in April, and haven't seen it yet. I've got a hardtop on for the winter, but I plan on doing the sparkplugs and air filter for my 30k service myself at the end of the winter, and will see it then in about 6-8 months.

I bought my used 2000 Boxster from a dealer without a prior inspection but as part of the deal they gave me 30 day period to return the car. As soon as I got it I took it to a place to get inspected. It was the first time I saw how to get into the engine, pretty cool.

Take it out for a short drive without the engine cover on. The sound is intoxicating. (So are the fumes).
