Want to buy a VR6, but worried about reliability
 

I just recently sold my Honda civic, it had 96k miles on it and was running strong. I really want to get a used 97 jetta VR6. I found the PERFECT one online, I love the color and interior looks great! But it has 105k miles on it. They are selling it for $3,900 and I want it soooo bad. But I am worried that once I get it I will have nothing but problems. I heard volkswagens arent very reliable, and buying this car isnt very smart. What should I do?

Here are some pics of the car. It's from a dealership and says "Includes a 3mo/3000mi Powertrain Warranty!"
