Buying 99 Boxster - Concerns?

Hey everyone, currently in the market for an early model 986 and found one for $7500 w/ 75k miles. Current owner says he's selling it since he's leaving the country and it seems like a good price given the condition.

My concern is I ran a CarFax on it and it indicates an accident in 2015.

"Accident reported
Involving right side impact
Damage to right rear
Moderate damage reported
Airbags did not deploy"

Buyer was up front about it before I ran the VIN and said it was from some (and I'm quoting) "Indians that charged almost $9000 for a gas pump computer". Indicating it was no accident with any other car, but rather someone charging his insurance company.

I asked for any of the receipts/documentation regarding the incident and am not sure exactly how what he indicated could be related to the carfax report.

Again, the car does look in great shape inside and out and I would get a PPI done prior, but was curious if anyone had any opinions before I make a 3 hour drive to see more in person.

Thanks.
