depends on the mileage and whether its had or is due a clutch,
at the risk of a barrage of comments my rule of thumb is, if its on the drive and theres no drip and its less than 30,000 miles and the clutch is original then leave it, but check for drips, the seals will weep and become moist especially on low mileage cars
You'll be lucky to get 30-35k from a boxster clutch, if your car is likely to reach that mileage in the next 12 months i'd wait, then do both
alternatively a competent local garage if there is one can change the rms by removing the exhaust & gearbox in approx 4 hours, the seal is about £20 ish, but when they take the cluch out it may need replacing £180 for a 2.5 £270 for a 2.7, £350 for a 3.2 plus vat of course,
My local garage/ mot station charges me 4.5 hours @ £25/ hour compared to £75 @Porsche, no special tools are required and make sure they check the intermedialte shafts
despite what some may so any competent mechanic can remove an exhaust and gearbox & replace it, keep the parts receipt to show any future purchaser
Good Luck
