Try to check for leaking oil filter housing and valve cover as those are common. Ask if coils and injectors have been replaced and when because there have been revisions to those parts.

Ask if a walnut blast has been done. Ensure all records are up to par and the owner has taken care of her
Turbos have not been replaced. He works at a dealership and says there is no wastegate rattle. I will ask about the coils and injectors as well as look for leaks in those areas.

He is the 2nd owner. It was bought in Germany buy a guy in the army, then he bought it back after his term. They are friends.

I have a higher budget, but if this one is sound, that means more money for maintenance if needed... and mods! Always nice to have a cushion.
