I have to agree. Being from Vancouver my self. You are looking at $10,000 CND for a real decent Scirocco out here. They are getting rare.
Totally rusty MK1's (stuff I wouldn't trust to be on the road) are starting to pop out of the wood work at $2,000 CND. This are things I used to buy for $300 and strip a couple years ago.
It all depends on where you are and how many sciroccos are in your area. Sometimes it pays to even move the car to an area that has none to get a really good price :)

My 2 cents - the market for Sciroccos is HIGHLY dependent on the
city/region you live in. I live in Vancouver, BC. You guys don't know how
lucky you are... to be able to find a car like the one we're talking about
right now for $3800US (call it $6000CDN) would be a good deal. STOCK 16v
cars with that mileage are still worth around $6000CDN right now as long as
they're in great shape. At the high end of the market, things get crazy.
Let's consider a 2L 16v with a good suspension, nice rims, and euro
bumpers. I've seen a couple cars for sale up here in the last 4 months
where the owner was asking more than $9000CDN ($5800US). One guy wanted
12,500 for his, and it wasn't much nicer than mine...
