It was in some sort of accident for one, you can tell that right off the bat from the picture.

63K miles on a 2001 is a red flag for me. Those two numbers don't match up. That car should have at LEAST 150K+ miles on it, which means it was never driven....because reasons....or it sat around for a long period of time, possibly for mechanical reasons.

I'd hope for the best, but i'd do a massive amount of homework on it. Maybe you found a diamond in the rough, maybe you found a real PoS that someone finally got up and running.

Also, it's still German, so it'll still cost a bit more to replace parts that are destined for failure.

Also keep in mind that its a turbo, which means it has more moving parts that can break.

Do some strong, strong research on that one.

I Hope it works out for you.
