Low miles and clean is nice, but considering the faults, I would not buy this one for a premium price. If I was selling it, I'd fix the problems. If I was buying it, I'd offer significantly less than the asking price and expect to walk away without a deal. I would probably not deal with a seller who is difficult about a PPI.
Usually easier & better to do light mechanical restoration than cosmetic restoration.

I would not buy any M96 without inspecting whats in the oil filter 1st !

To OP, 1997 Boxster will always be the least desirable M96 powered Porsche.
