Exclamation Service Report HELP?: Owner gave me service report for 2000 S, should I be concerned?

I'm trying to buy a 2000 Boxster S with under 60k miles. Body and condition seem real nice.
Well taken care of cosmetically, paint, lenses, rubber seals etc.
I'm trying to get a PPI at the dealer, but the owner just told me he had this report from a few weeks ago, and it could save
me the $375 PPI fee. I know the care needs some stuff taken care of, and I'm ok with taking care of these items if they
are RED ALERTS for a bigger issue.

He wasn't aware of any IMS issues about the car, because he didn't know it was a concern with the model, etc.
I don't think he looks at forums, or knows much more about these vehicles.. Just likes to drive them.

I'm thinking about doing the PPI anyways, and adjusting the asking price to cover repairs.

Thanks
