if it pushed blue just after you started it, and not after it runs for a while, its prolly just the valve stem seals [img]redface.gif[/img] ; but if it does it all the time, or while accelerating/decelerating, its the oil controll rings , either way its some work.

If it continues to smoke after startup, yeah, it's gona cost some money but if it just does a puff when first fired it's just the valve seals and they can be done fairly cheap. Especially if you can take the head off yourself and bring it in to the machine shop to do. If it is, you can always get an estimate at a shop and calculate that into the price of the vehicle and then really talk the salesman down because it's gonna need to be fixed.
I would likely just keep looking though if you want to spend the money on somethng decent in the first place.
