Take my advice and look elsewhere - unless the car is stupidly cheap. There are too many good cars out there at the moment at good prices.

Possible gearbox issue?
If it's an early NA6 the engine lag could be a symptom of the short nose crank problem. Replacing the engine is the usual fix so I would probably say no to this particular car.

+1 - never let time constraints dictate purchases unless you know exactly what the problem is, how much it's going to cost, & the item is priced accordingly.
