Looking at a Jetta Diesel

A friend of my has an 86 jetta diesel for sale. It has 100k miles is a turbo 5 speed. He said that the brakes have a glitch in the master cylinder that caused the brake light to turn on occasionally but has it fixed. It is a good looking car. Any words of wisdom about such a car.

Check on the tdiclub.com forums. There is a lot of knowledge about the older VWs there, and they will have good tips on what to look for.
