Hey I have an ek4 with 175k kms on it. Car pulls great. No sign of problems yet. Replaced clutch recently and don't think it had ever been done in its 16 years of existence. Even then the car still ran fine.
As others have said be careful, if you aren't mechanically inclined have it looked over by a 3rd party.
Over 200k kms isn't a problem as long as its been looked after, timing belt, oils etc. it's an enthusiasts car so be sure the person you buy from is an enthusiast and has not trashed it.
The b16a responds well to a turbo so if the engine does come up for a rebuild hey lucky you whack a turbo and some new internals in the engine
