Plow = the truck has probably got some extreme wear on it, IMO. If you're not going to drive it a lot and stress it out constantly, that's not something you necessarily need to worry about.
As for the oil on turbo thing, is it a whole lot of oil? If it's a small mist of it, check the intake piping. On my 7.3, that's normal b/c the PCV valve vents right before the turbo and doesn't have a catch can (one of the small things I want to fix eventually).
Looks like a good price, and the seat is definitely well-worn :-). Do you have any use for the plow? If not shop around and see what you might be able to sell it for, or see how much of a discount he'll give you (probably the better route now that winter is almost over).
