My advice (former Porsche dealer here) is walk on by.

The car is a salvage title no matter what the guy says.

Buying a Box on ebay is not playing the odds.

Pay a decent price and work at finding a decent car.

If not, don't come back here all weepy.

Good luck, choose wisely.

If you're a great DYI and have or know where several Boxsters are lying around for parts...go for it.

Great SPEC Boxster race car candidate

BTW, the screen on the climate control is toast. Add some more bucks to replace that.

He says the car's local, so he can presumably do the right thing and get it checked before he buys.
