What to do first?

hi -- brand new member here, seeking advice.

Let's say, (not so) hypothetically that you just inherited a 2002 Boxster base, 5-speed manual, ~80K miles, clean title. Unknown history, other than always a California car. I am not interested in taking the car to the track -- just great weekend (etc.) drives.

What should I do next? I am naively thinking:
  1. find a good nearby Porsche specialty mechanic
  2. ask mechanic to do a thorough inspection and prioritize safety items
  3. get mechanic to make a list of "reliability" items, and take care of urgent ones
  4. figure out what needs to be "zero-timed" from a regular maintenance schedule and do that (??)
  5. begin tackling comfort-related items that are important to me
  6. ???

I am not fabulously mechanically inclined, though I don't mind changing the oil on my motorcycle, fwiw.

Thanks very much!
