How bad is sitting for a Boxster? Question before potential purchase

I have a deal going on a clean '98 Boxster 5spd, it's complete with hardtop and all accessories (hardtop w/ lift, factory cover, bras, etc), 85k, two owner, passed a PPI only needing small stuff such as a coolant flush, tires and brakes in the next year, an alignment, sway bar links, and showing minor wear and tear such as a you'd expect on a car with 80k (stone chips, few small door dings, etc)

Only concern I have is that it's only done about 1500 miles in the last six years. Owner states he has still done yearly oil changes. The PPI didn't indicate any problems as a result, just that it looked like it had been sitting.

We all know sitting is bad, but how lightly should I take this? Car seems like a good deal at $9k and I intend to go forward with the purchase unless you guys think otherwise.
