A: it all depends on if the previous owners kept up on the maintenance. Volkswagens generally require a bit more routine maintenance than your average Honda or Chevy, and most owners are either unaware of this or just negligent. as a result, a LOT of used Volkswagens tend to be complete piles of sh*t that break down on a routine basis. if it's an automatic transmission, i'd definitely steer clear. 90's Volkswagens really didn't have proper automatics and none of them had long lifespans, especially compared to the 5-speed versions. mileage is also a huge factor, which you haven't listed here.

if you're not familiar with these cars, my best advice would be to go find an old Civic. they don't need much attention, they're cheap, good on gas, are insanely reliable, have cheap insurance and cheap repairs.
