I am looking at a used 2001 Vw Jetta TDI, any advice?

84,000 miles I can get it for $9900.00 Not in bad shape. Is this thing hard to work on? I change my own oil and fuel filters. I know there is something about removing an intake manifold at some point to be cleaned, when is this done? Is it expensive?
