I drive the same car daily - I now have 290k on it and going strong. I get to drive a lot of rental vehicles and I always enjoy hopping into that little VW. Lots of mod options at a relatively cheap price.
If it is my friend's old car, he added a nice aluminum skid plate on the front and did the timing belt the day after he bought the car. Just make sure you get to drive it, especially from cold to warm-up. Diesels will show their issues at start-up and while cold. Make sure you take it out and give it an Italian tune job - aka pin the skinny pedal. Make sure it boosts and pulls well, the turbos are really the only weak link with this car, but with such low km it shouldn't be an issue.
If you do pick it up and decide to mod it, let me know. I can tell you all kinds of goods, I've read and done a bunch to my car. As mentioned, I plan on rolling mine over 500k because I can and because I love it.
