Advice for Boxster purchaser in Aussie.

Hi, I have been lurking on this forum & reading all I can about Boxsters. I like all Porsche's but the Boxster is beautiful & modern & affordable.
I am very close to purchasing a 2001 S manual model here in Australia.
I drove two vehicles today. Both were 2001 S models, one with 60,000KM & the other with 70,000km.
I am leaning towards purchasing the 60,00km one and have a few questions.
Where is the Vehicle Identification plate located?
Where & what should I be looking for/at to gauge the mechanical condition of the car.
I have poked & prodded & looked underneath the vehicle to see any major oil leaks etc, but where should I look?
How prone is the radiator to damage from rocks etc?
Is there anything I should be checking with the opening & closing of the roof?
What sort of miles per tank do they return when driven sedately?
Sorry for all the questions, but don't want a dud.
Thanks.
Dave in Aussie.
Soon to have a Boxster.
