Depends, on the problems get a deffinate diagnosis of the problems then go from there. I know S4NY? or JBQUICK or someone is selling their stage 3 s4 for $18,900 throws down like 450 hp. and has no problems. Looks like a pretty legit car if i didnt already have an S4. check it out.

First fid out exactly what mods are on the car.
Then have a shop do a PPI (pre purchase inspection) it will be totally worth any money you spend on it!
Boost leak is not cool, it should be fixed ASAP! They can also be a PITA to track down.
Get it checked out & find out how much it's going to cost to fix all the little things.
$20k is ok for a sorted 3+, but if it needs $4000 worth of work, skip at $20k

Well waht year is it? suprised no one asked for that before now.. But regardless with those miles and color combo your asking for a premium and 20k aint that bad.. actually really good. But once again depends on how much is wrong with the car.

hhhmm marc aka 11secs4 is selling his stage3 s4...it has a lot of miles but he is a very reliable seller. i believe his has around 90k, its priced at 18,900 and I believe its and AWE setup.
I would assume that your seller got the timing belt worked on when the turbos went in? figure out where the leaks are and work from there...i can't imagine where the leak would be for stage3, typical stock leaks are found in areas like tbb and torn dv's, which a stg3 would have already fixed/upgraded to.
goodluck and keep us posted.
