Any comment on the car, pos or not? I have an email sent to him as to what exactly is wrong and maybe a pic. Anything to look out for?

Everything except the engine?
For $1000 you don't have to drive it that much to get your money's worth, but I'd expect any 15 year old VW with 200k miles to nickel and dime you to death if you try to keep it up.

^^I figured I would fix the A/C.

^Yeah, thats what I wanted to find out. I know little to nothing about specific cars faults and problems, although I am decently handy so I can do a little tinkering.
