Dad has it right. Also, get any and all maintenance records. Last oil change and previous ones. All and anything that has been done is important. These things have a pretty rigid maintenance schedule.
Run it till it gets hot and shut it off for a awhile and make sure it restarts as normal. This is something a PPI is may not find. Just because they don't find any codes that would indicate this a problem. That doesn't mean this problem doesn't exist. The shop is not going to drive it as you would normally. They are just going to poke around and go through a list of things to check.
Not trying to scare you off. It's just I have been down this road. I have a thread on here called, "Diary of a high mileage 1999 Boxster"
But I have had fun resurrecting it from something that otherwise would have been given up for dead. But hey. That's just me.
Oh and we love pictures of these things. Get some when you have a chance. The best of luck with your new car.
