Be careful. This is the kind of thing that could follow you for the rest of the time you own the car, and haunt you if/when you try to re-sell it.
If the title is stamped salvage, you might want to avoid it completely. Salvage cars are tough to re-sell, unless they are at very steep discounts to retail value. Even if it is not a salvage car, most people that buy Porsche's are looking for a good quality car, not someone's cut-and-paste special. If you ever try to re-sell it, everyone else will do the same CarFax search you did, and find the same issues. I personally would never buy a car with accident history, there are just too may unknowns and risks - alignment problems, uneven fading/wearing of the paint, etc. So many paint jobs that are blended, where only part of the car is refinished, look good when it is relatively new, but fade at a different rate. If you are looking to spend around that price (low $40's), you would probably be better off buying an older Boxster without damage history.
Remember the old saying: "It is the stingy man who spends the most".
