1992 Passat 1.8L G60 Syncro AWD

[JeffMurray]

I just purchased this car, does anyone know of the known issues with this particular model. I think I got a good deal, 140k interior mint and original body mint and original, although the spoiler has clearcoat peel. 5speed loaded no sunroof, paid $1500 Canadian for it. When I test drove it, it ran awesome. But every car has issues, just wondering what the issues are with the Passat.
