We just bought a 2002 with very low mileage. Know anything else about the car that might be helpful?

Volkswagens in general are very well engineered cars with abysmal quality control problems, which is an odd combination. Volkswagens have a very high rate of repair issues and customer dissatisfaction, but they are also highly rated by their satisfied customers. Apparently, you either get a really good one or a really bad one. It might be very important for you to find a good repair center.

hossman is right on the money: if you got a "good one", you'll be happy with your vw for years. my 98 jetta was generally great, but had very frequent tiny little things going wrong which drove me insane. i feel like if they had spent another half hour with it at the factory checking over everything, it would have been a perfect car... my advice is to pick a number in your mind, a sum of money that you're willing to spend on the car in repairs. and once you hit that number, sell the car.
