Nothing beyond what I consider basic maintenance - suspension, brakes, engine mounts, etc. When you've owned a car 10 out of 15 years, you see a lot of parts needing to be replaced. For anyone looking at buying a 15 year old car, be realistic and expect problems.
The Scirocco is simply a joy to own and drive. After 10 years, I still love my '85 as much, if not more than the day I bought it. I do the majority of my own maintenance. If I wasn't addicted to Sciroccos, and didn't modify every aspect of the car, it would have been a cheap car to own. Buy a Scirocco, I promise you'll love it!
I have loved owning my Scirocco (1986 GTX) since I bought it 10 years ago, it's fun, reliable and safe, a really good car.
