Congrats, looks like a mid-later year '99 with those tail lights, unless the PO replaced them, although it has the early '99 headlights. Does it have the CDR 210 or CDR 220 in the dash, that may also clue you in. Looks good, get a PPI like everyone says, and then drive the crap out of it!

I did a pretty through PPI myself. I know cars inside and out. Everything looks pretty good with the exception of an oil leak. Hard to tell where it's coming from. Will need to clean it up and see if I can trace it. It doesn't leave any drips, just the bottom of the engine is damp.
No check engine lights, no other leaks that I could find. Owner had receipts from this year for belts, water pump and cooling fan.
I build Factory Five Replicas from the ground up including engine assembly as a hobby so repairs should be know problem.
Can't wait to drive the wheels off of it.

I kid I kid! As a Boxster owner it isn't exactly new territory. Congrats on the new ride and looking forward to cool DIY posts as you "dig in"
