Newly acquired '05 Boxster S - what needs to be done?

[Ckrikos]

At 60k your brakes should be ok, you should be on the original rotors and second set of pads. The rotors will be forming a lip at that mileage and will be 10-20k before needing replacement. Are the tires ok? I just replaced mine, 2nd set at 50k miles (fronts were originals).

I'm not sure if the IMS bearing can be replaced on a 987, but it should be checked if you are changing out the clutch.

Good point. On an early build 2005, it should have a serviceable IMS. A quick search and engine code sent to Jake would confirm either way.
