Longevity
Might be asking this in the wrong forum but this is where I go as the owner of a '97TT.
I don't know enough about Porsches yet, probably never will truth be known, so decided to ask y'all to take a look at this car and tell me how long the engine is likely to last before it needs a rebuild or blows up; assuming it's taken out of the garage and driven.

That car belonged to "Art4iza" on 6speed and is about 20-25K overpriced imho. Re. longevity, protomotive did a similar build long ago for a guy, I can't remember his name. Anyway, it had 25K miles on it since the build and he was definitely using the power.

If its a b.b.i. car snap it up! (at a lower price) I know the guy who builds those motors over on 6speed forums, great guy and fantastic products. A motor at that power level will last about 35 hours of hard use before a refresh.
