I saw a ad for a 1984 VW Scirocco for sale. It is great shape since the original owner drove it for 3 years, put it in the garage and didn't start it since now. The seller says it still runs, but won't come out of reverse (it's a stick). It sounds like a shift linkage problem. It also has 114,000 miles. The price is $700 OBO. Should I get it or pass? If so, how much do you think I should offer to buy it?

Do you think I will run into any problems in the future with it?
