The big thing with TTs of this vintage are the timing belts. They have to be changed every 60K mi or you risk expensive head work when it breaks and bends valves. Be sure to get documentation on when the last time it was changed or assume you have a $700 expense to immediately attend to. They also have issues with the info center in the center of the dash losing pixels. There are companies that fix them for $300. The MK1 (2000-2006) also has little niggling issues, kind of like a 986. I've owned an 01 coupe and 02 roadster (both 225 versions) that I bought to resell. I currently have a '10 TT roadter that I'm flipping. Fun cars to be sure.
