Default Test driving a 1993 LX with 225K

I'm going to test drive a 1993 LX manual with 225K tomorrow and am wondering what areas I should pay close attention to. Are there any particulars areas that are weak in 1993? I know the timing belt was replaced at 185K and the muffler and brakes were recently replaced.

Clutch and Brake fluid condition.
This is often overlooked (even by the original owners) and is often rsponcible for a mydrid number of problems. Most often:
Master cylinder failures
Brake and Clutch
Slave Cylinder (Clutch)
Rear brake cylinders

If you find the fluid brown / black or milky; expect a cylinder failure sometime in the near future. (It now contains water and is (most likely) rusting those cylinders from the inside.
