Sounds like a pretty good deal if everything checks out, only concern is it doesn't look like the RMS and IMS bearings have been done yet so it could be a ticking time bomb.
*Edit* owner said the car has 170K km's. Very tempting.

Sounds like a good deal - check for any transmission whining, second gear popout (needs an extended test-drive). They eat tires no matter what. Make sure it hot-starts OK. An overly stiff clutch can be a sign that it's tired. They don't last that long.
A proper PPI is a good idea, it won't tell you about the IMS condition (although they may spot oil leaks) but they can tell you about over-revs and cam deviation. There are high-mile cars on rennlist (especially early cars) that haven't needed much. Find out where it's been serviced. Hopefully a porsche shop. I'd like to see that the PO was willing to spend money anytime it was needed. I'd like to see a waterpump receipt, and an air/oil sep service/replacement would be great to see in the receipt stack.
