Interior looks good, no visible rust, and mileage isn't excessive, so that's three strong plusses in my book. If it really just needs a relay that's an easy fix. Replace it and drive it home. Worst case it is a solid looking chassis with some mechanical issues to sort out. As it's a 22 year

Newer diesels make a lot more power on less fuel than the older ones too. The 2.0l in my Jetta makes around 145hp and that's with the de-tune from VW. Compare that to 120hp out of the 3.0l 617 turbo. It also starts well in deep cold. I've started it at -5F and it fired right up, no complaints.
