PVC Paranoia - Buying Advice Needed Please

I will be going out this weekend to see a 2003 Aero Wagon with 65K. Its being sold by the mechanic who bought the car from the original owner. The original owner gave up on the car after the turbo failed.
The mechanic/seller claims to have serviced the car since since coming off warranty and has recently updated PVC#6 after "back pressure filled the turbo with oil" causing the turbo to fail. I know, I know, if he was a good mechanic it would not have gone this far.
So the question is beside the turbo failure what are some other symptoms I should look for resulting from sludge? Is the failed turbo a sign that sludge cause irreversible damage and I should I avoid the car all together? Assuming not, what is fair market value for this car?
TIA
