I bought one a 4 yr old one in 94 with 50k on the clock and sold it 3 years later with 135k miles. In that time I went through the usual consumables (tyres, pads, disks etc) but everything else was fine - original exhaust as well but that's because they were mostly m'way miles and the car was always hot. Absolultely nothing went wrong with it.
If you look after them, they will go for ever. Must be properly serviced with frequent oil changes and top quality oil. Look for ticking camshaft noises, smoking exhausts (esp the 16v ones) and knocking front wheel bearings/worn driveshafts. Turn the wheels onto full lock and drive slowly in a circle listening to anything suspicous.
I agree with the others here - if it's unmolested then bite his arm off. The lowered suspension sounds dodgy and the oak green car was not a special edition but recognised by the purists as the one to go for. Make sure it's an original 16v and not a 8v with a new engine. There are a few ways to tell from the outside but check up the history as any VW geek will know what to change.

You will see serious benefits from a nice new performance air filter with a drilled airbox, a subtle exhaust (Miltek for example) and a rolling road tune up.

my last car was a 16v oak green golf. i absolutely loved that car. standard apart from sensible drop, 17's k+n panel, and full magnex manifold system. it sounded like a motorbike round the rev range in 2nd!
very adictive to cane it for that noise though = 23m.p.g!
p.s. accoustically they are one of the best cars for ICE install's etc.
