Inspecting the oil filter during a PPI can be done fairly simply without having to drain the oil and what small amount of oil is lost could be topped up. However, the potential buyer and the shop would need to get the owners approval before doing such work.

Given that the main purpose of a PPI is to make sure you don't need an $18k engine next week, a PPI that doesn't involve seeing that filter cut open and the pan being dropped is largely a waste of money (assuming you can crawl under a car and understand what you're looking at to begin with).
Er, "In my opinion".
Other than the engine, the boxster is about as simple a car as you can buy. Engine, engine, engine.
Nothing else on the car would be as big a deal breaker than bits of any foreign material.
