Get the VIN and ask a dealer to check the service history. Some recalls included upgraded front ends and shift linkages. Serp. belt pulleys need frequent replacement but are relatively inexpensive to do. Look for oil dripping between engine and transmission -- usually indicates a leaking rear main seal. Not catastrophic but a bit pricey to replace. Essentially a clutch job in labor. The clutch cables should be repaced periodically as a preventative measure. Again not expensive and a diy for most folks. They went back to hydraulic clutches in later models. You'd probably be better off with a '97 or later but its hard to beat $3250. We have 155k miles on our '95 900S 4 dr., 5spd and it's doing fine so far.
