Newbie to VR6..

I have a 96 golf 2.0 with about 240K on it, and still running pretty strong, but I'm looking into getting a 98 VR6, with 44K on that one.. I would just like some input on that engine and model year. Is there any real big problems with that year and engine that i should stay away from? Overall my 2.0 has been great other then the normal wear and tear.. soo should i asume the same with the 98 VR6?? Replys would be appreciated!
