Or, perhaps you can work with the current owner to send it for inspection before making the sale final. $1000 is IMHO a tad on the high end for the setup, but in case you haven't done the math since reading the last sentence, $1000 is definitely WAY too much money if the charger is in unknown condiditon.

If a previous charger blew chunks into the intake, it can kill or mame a good engine and it may not be obvious without a compression test. It seems that valve seats don't like things other than air and fuel to try to get past them...ask how I know! Think of the Black Knight in Monte Python and the Holy Grail...more than just a flesh wound. But otherwise the PG is a pretty stout engine...
