Boxster newbie, help appreciated

Hello everyone! I just purchased a '99 Boxster with 62,000 miles. The dealership (non-Porsche) told me the car was well maintained and freshly serviced. The local dealer couldn't squeeze me in to take a look, so I took a chance. UGH!

I don't know if it is just me, or if the car has issues. I have called the dealership and they of course say "it's a used car"

Anyway...I have just ran into the following issues. Any and all advice would be appreciated.

1)Trunk light comes on when you start the car, then stays on for 3-4 minutes before going off (don't know if this is normal or not)

2)The air bag light came on yesterday after a heavy rain and hasn't gone off. I don't know if something is wet or what is going on

3) The right side behind the seat was full of water today after a heavy rain. I could not find any water on the door or the wall behind the seat. The water was just in the floorboard under the seat.

4) I have also noticed a noise in the right rear of the car after hitting a bump. It also sounds like a jack is bouncing around, but I know that is not the case. I had new tires installed and they didn't see anything noticable. I can't honestly say they would even know what they were looking for, I don't

Final question, is it worth it to take to the dealer and spend the $495 they charge to inspect the car for possible problems?

Thanks in advance.
Cameron
