You really should get an independant mechanic to check it out for you as from what you say about the "miss" could be many things - some simple to fix but others expensive. Don't be rushed by the salesman. Also you could get the local VW agents to take a look....may cost $100 but could be money well spent. If the salesman baulks at an inspection do not buy the car - plenty more to choose from. Good Luck.
