2.5 190 v6 - on eBay but has issues?

[Joniphoo]

Hi , I'm watching a zt-t on eBay but in description it mentions a puff of blue smoke after coasting down a long hill but then clears straight away?? No smoke on start up or any other time? What could it be and is it worth the £1k? Thx in advance

There are two for sale on this board mate, probably a safer bet

Sounds too risky to me. Bit of a cheeky asking price with a fault like that. As has been said, have a look on the for sale section here. There's plenty out there so be choosy.

Once again many thanks for the advice

Sounds like valve guide seals. If so could be something livable if not too bad or it's heads off to replace the seals.
