A 2004 V10 with a nice colour scheme: the seller states all good except "There is an issue with the left turbo variable vanes being sticky at times, thus not producing full power. Backing off the throttle, then re-applying seems to cure this and full power is restored."
The problem as described doesn't sound too bad, I would leave until there are other reasons for an engine-out maintenance - but is it a sign of imminent complete turbo failure that would spit oil everywhere and cause major damage?
I haven't yet looked at the car. It's quite a distance away.
