I'm wanting to buy this car, the seller says the turbo is shot,and it smokes like a freight train. The smoke is white , smells like oil on a manifold, and a tiny amount of what looks like oil comes out of the tail pipe. Thanks nanci

This could be a very expensive repair, make sure that you know exactly what you are up for in repairs, you need to get a mechanic to asses the car first hand, there could be thousands of dollars involved in fixing this especially if the head is compromised as well.
