I have the chance to buy an '06 BRM Jetta with 207K. I don't know when the TB was replaced, there is a rubbing noise in the engine somewhere at idle, and brakes may have some issues too. I have pasted the results of my Vag-com scan below. Someone please tell me if the results show any major problems. I scanned the engine, transmission (No faults), brakes, electronics, and instruments (No faults). Also, the idle speed is at 840/min which seems a little bit low to me.

If there is no mention of camshaft work, flywheel, EGR cooler, and maybe the turbo you can count on them being an issue. I'd say camshaft for sure.

You can add the above stuff you mentioned to that list.

All about dollars...........
If you can fix yourself. Less dollars
If car is clean and price seems low enough.

Wouldnt even consider it for more than $2500 without reciepts for work done. As mentioned above this car will need alota $. You may if nothings been done be in the $4-5k range after purchase.
