New to me 2000 Boxster - what to do out the gate (maintenance)

[tvlaan]

Thanks for the advice so far - i'd try to tackle some items myself, but work and a new baby are keeping me pretty occupied.

I'm happy to have the shop do everything - i'm really just debating whether i should just have them do a clutch replacement and IMS retrofit for the sake of it, or if i should hold off until closer to 75k miles when i planned to do the clutch (it feels fine now).

Me? I'd wait on the IMS and do it later with the clutch. But I'd hedge my bet and send an oil sample to Blackstone now -- and see if any strange bearing metals show up. That test results will also give you a baseline as you start your ownership.
