If it's not stolen and hasn't been wrecked, you're probably good. Not a whole lot else to go wrong other than the basic stuff that goes wrong on every car.

Has the timing belt,water been changed?
Ask about things that have been done to the car.
Has it been stolen/wrecked? Alot of times the carfax wont tell you crap, unless it was reported. example, My car has been wrecked, but carfax wont tell you that becuase I fixed it myself.
is anything leaking? Does it make any weird noises? One of the bigger things with these cars is rust. Check the QP's.

check axles, bushings for tears. The trailing arm bushings are prone to cracking, at least the 3 I've had had cracked bushings.
Make sure it doesn't burn oil.
Check if body parts are original, including fit. If fenders, bumpers fit funny, it may have been in an accident and not reported. Look at the wiring and anything out of place a prior owner rigged up. Cobbled up stuff is just annoying.
