Wow, all little stuff, easy fixes unless there are other bigger issues.
SFO is a looooong way from the ATL.

Most everyone has been in nome kind of fender bender over history. Seems only new GTS styles are available new from Porsche, so might have been a rear bump or worse.
Still very much worth looking for the $ asked.

Worst case its thrust bearing. At that price still lots of room to put in a good used motor.

Just came across this thread. Let us know what the final prognosis is with the car and/or if the guy agreed to your offer.

Used to start and run..but very "surgy and rough"..not cranks & no start.

Gonna go down the list tomorrow with it, see what happens..has a long list of stuff that's been maintained, which leaves the worst jobs of MM/OPG and top-end refresh left as the 'majors'..and a likely end to end ground and connections cleaning.

Will be fun!
