You drove it but the problems you listed are cosmetic, the important thing is how did it run? how much does it leak? but does not bode well. If you could see the belt, cam gears, compression test, end-play, then $5K might be top offer and in winter's slow days, I bet he would consider it.

Car is located in Highland Park (Chicago) Illinois. Don't have a lot of details except it's a 3 owner car originally from Wisconsin. Next two owners in Chicago. It was traded in on a new Hyundai (?!?!) and is priced @ $11,987 which seems a bit on the low end. Again, zero maintenance records. Porsche dealership located near by (The Porsche Exchange)

I spoke with the guy, Greg today at Morrow auto group. I asked him if he had any records for it and I gave him my offer of $1500. He asked why? I told him with no record of flex plate maintenance, water pump, timing belt, tensioner condition, abs, airbag,hood, hatch, paint that I can't see sticking $8000-$10,000 in that car. He said, "yeah, this car is not for you". Meaning: this car is not for someone who knows what might be lurking in the shadows.

Did not notice any fresh puddles under the car before/after the drive. Couldn't tell if belt looked warn as i don't look at enough belts to have a good judgement.
Bottom line is the car was not cosmetically well cared for. I doubt that someone who doesn't care enough to have their car detailed on a regular basis and correct flaws in the exterior/interior, would care what the compression of cylinder 8 is.
IMHO
