Does the car only have one mirror?  It's supposed to have one on both 
sides and they both should be powered by the same switch.

It's common for the shifter to feel loose.

Yeah, they do break a lot.  I just bought an 88 Scirocco and it too has 
a broken parking brake.

With the problems you list, I wouldn't pay any more than 1800-1900 for 
it.  2000 maybe if it's the only Scirocco for sale in the area and 
you're desperate to have one.
