Run a mile?
I suppose this depends on what it goes for but aparently the owner is a V.A.G. tech and currently work at a Porsche specialist, this is where the turbo was reconditioned.
Of course, but if you were going to the trouble of getting the turbo done, would you not of got those other potential smoke causers done aswell?
Especially if you were a mechanic that could do them yourself!?

Exactly! hence the reason for the suspicion.
If the head were to be reconditioned what sort of costs are we talking? assuming all the work is done at the same place, removal fixing, refitting etc?
Nice car but lets face it I couldn't get 4k for mine (Dests old car) which had most of the spec that car does but S8 rims and Porsche Brakes, oh and it had less miles and was a much nicer colour.
I did tell the seller I thought it was overpriced so he may well see that if the bids don't pour in and lower the reserve if he wants to see it gone but he definitely won't let it go for 2k
So it seems lately that Avant owners are starting to put higher prices on their cars now then?
I see another has appeared on Pistonheads this week at £4250, the £3500 I had mine up for seems like a bargain!

The problem is as we all are well aware ANY faults tend to cost a fortune to sort out which puts people off, at 4k it doesn' t want to be smoking on startup really ! plus its been to the moon and back which means it WILL need full rebushing and a load of other bits no doubt sorting so I don't think its worth that if it does sound well looked after and have a few pricey add ons
What people price them at and what they are worth are 2 different things.
I hear coupes are worth 6k although I don't see any selling at that money !
