My list would also include a new headset and cost to fit and remove the existing one .. If you look at pic 2 there's some damage to the bottom spacer edge like it's been forced inside the headset top cap? Also you don't know any latent damage to the headset if the seller was ridding the bike like this.
I'd probably push for a new stem and proper shim too if it's been over tightened. And remember if the replacement fork has a carbon steerer (like the aforementioned Minimal) you'll need a bung instead of a star nut .. Good luck, I'm guessing you'll be in for a fight ..
