Before I buy it, is there anything I should look out for or otherwise make me run away screaming?

Premature cam wear seems to be a problem on many '06 TDI's.

Watch out for the cam problem and also bad flywheels. The Autos (DSG) seem to be worse than the manuals. If it shifts poorly or shudders, see if they will discount the repair into the purchase price.
