If you don't know a thing about turbo's i'd suggest you stay away. Best way to learn about turbos in my opinion is on a car that comes turbo'd from the factory.
Why hasn't the guy driven it regularly in the last three years, i'd guess something pretty major is wrong with it.
But if he lives close to you it wont hurt to go see it in person and take it for a spin. I like the idea of having a all wheel drive twin turbo rocket.

It depends on how much 3300 is to you. I think it would be fun to play with if you are in to tuning. There are all sorts of tuning options, no reason to stick with the Haltech setup he has.
