Accident history, really the lack thereof and providing a carfax is a clear sign the car has not had any or not any major work.

If the car has not been tracked most people will list that.

Pictures, exterior and interior help a buyer bond with the car.

Warranty status, and if it has new tires, brake pads, etc tell the buyer.

I sense people in the used Porsche market know a fair amount about the car and what they are looking for.

When I sold my M5 to buy the Porsche I said something to the effect "If you don't know about these cars don't waste my time or your time." Sold it in 48 hours, as it turns out to the son of someone very active in the local PCA chapter who owns a gorgeous 996 TT.
I agree with all your points, though if I would be interested in buying a car your last point would turn me off as being arrogant and 'know-it-all' and I would not call to inquire about the car - would feel wrong to buy a car from someone writing this. Just my opinion and how I would see it ...
