Check the date on the tires. You don't want to drive 1K+ miles on weather checked tires.

You'll have a great time driving it back.

+1 on checking the dates on the tires. 20 year old tires could be dicey.

Thanks for your quick replies. I read So your thinking on buying a Boxster and the discussion on low mileage garage queens and their accelerated IMS failures. Wow that made me feel good........ even with checking the oil filter and changing oil if filter is good, it sounds like it could still happen, so drive 1900 miles with my butt puckered the whole way, or what do you suggest. With a car with 9k miles what would a professional PPI look for other than doing what I am going to check before heading out?
Thanks again for your help! Dave

Good suggestion on the tires. the car has been kept inside and out of the weather. My Son didn't mention the tires, Ill have to ask him
