[QUOTE=mrjimmyx;503016]How the hell do you not change brakes in 2 yrs? lol...[QUOTE]

I fixed your punctuation and it's only about 7,500 miles a year average on that car. That is that many and if you dont ride the brakes, they'll last.

I would ask for a compression test to be done. If he doesnt have the gauge, go to harbor freight and pick one up. They are like $20 and a decent thing to have laying around. Ask the questions to the guy. Ask if he spilled the oil or if it's leaking. I dont know much about mk2's but just ask the basic questions. Test drive it to make sure it feels good. Make sure there arent any clunks or knocks and make sure the clutch is tight. Good luck with the car if you decide to get it.
