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.

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.
