Got a chance to speak to the owner of the dealership (seems like a small business owner who owns a high end dealership). No engine mods, no tune; all maintenance records on hand. Just Techart exhaust and Techart suspension as "mods." Prior owner was a stockbroker. I am curious as why the clutch needed to be replaced at 25k miles; he claims this was a $6k job.
Guy is willing to bring the car to a Porsche dealership for an inspection. I'm waiting for him to email me copies of maintenance records before I decide whether or not to proceed forward with a PPI. I assume I do a PPI before I make an offer, esp since I would have to place a bid on Ebay and such bid is biding.

Lot of people jumping to conclusions here...and some people saying too little, some saying too much... sigh.
I would have a PPI done -- clutch @ 25k does seem a bit strange but then again, I needed a new steering rack at 10k and I don't beat on my car. It sounds like it's a good car -- and PPI should be able to confirm/deny.

Some really good opinions here that you should take with you.
First things first, as mentioned earlier I would paint meter the car. Aftermarket bumpers can mean one of three things: 1- Car was in an accident and sometimes aftermarket bumpers are cheaper to replace, 2- Someone likes the look of the aftermarket bumpers and just wanted a certain look, or 3- Both.
Then get a PPI with DME, 25k miles on a clutch like stated already could mean nothing or everything. These cars get beat on all the time, if the DME is within spec get an aftermarket warranty if that helps you sleep at night.
Lastly, it doesn't matter what we all think if you like the car, and it checks out, buy it and enjoy it!
