Advice on purchasing a used Boxster, please!

Hey all, first time posting here. I recently came across what seems to be a really good deal on a 1999 Boxster. I'm 20 and never really imagined driving a Porsche anytime soon but I can't seem to pass this up! Its a silver 99 Boxster, only 6800 miles, triptronic, for 15k.. The only thing is, it holds a salvaged title. Now, I'd usually steer clear of anything salvaged.. but like I said, I'd hate to pass up such a good deal. I Carfaxed the VIN but it didnt pull up any details except for the fact that it was totaled, and granted a salvaged title in 2000. The mileage stayed consistent on all of the records Carfax provided so I'm pretty sure it's legit. I thought about taking the car into a nearby Porsche dealer for an inspection to see what they come up with but, I'd hate to spend $300 on a car that I'm not even positive about purchasing. Any recommended Porsche specialists around Long Beach, CA?

I have no experience with salvaged cars or even Porsches for that matter. If any of you can share some advice, I would greatly appreciate it. What questions should I ask and what signs should I be looking for. I test drove the car already but I don't really know what I should be looking for.

Thank you in advance!
