Nothing too bad. Take it to a euro shop and have them take a look at it. Get an estimate for the airbag light and check engine light. I'm not sure hor the vehicle inspectionis where you are, but in most states if your check engine light is on, you will automatically fail.

Sounds like a fair price for the condition.

At least the 120k has been done, and no other major problems. Looks like they replaced a lot of stuff.

Have it looked over first, then go for it.

Of course, if you are wanting to mod, hold out for a 1.8T, but otherwise this seems like a fair deal.

It sounds like a good deal but still look further into it about the lights.
