1989 760 Turbo question

In the market for a new car right now, and ran across an 89 760 turbo with 114k on it. The guy says the turbo "doesn't seem to work"

So I have several questions
>What in the hell could that mean? Like, what are common issues?
>How much would it cost me (parts and time) to fix?

Could be many things making the previous owner think the turbo wasn't working. It would be helpful to know whether this 760 is a sedan or a wagon.

Absolutely. Turbo virgin here, so I didn't even think. It is a wagon. I've kept asking him what's up with it, but there best I got was "it doesn't seem to be working"
