Are you considering the V6, or the turbo? I'm not quite sure what to recommend. I bought a '95 SET about 20 months ago and while I enjoy the car, it has been a huge maintenance hog. I've put an average of about $150/month into it since I got the car, and that doesn't count the stuff that the factory warranty or the extended warranty covered. I bought it at 46k miles and now have 70k on it. My heated seats don't work (again), and I think the car is due for new bushings and tie rod ends up front, as well as tires, so that's at least another grand I'll have to spend next year, and we're not even in to next year yet.
On the other hand, there are others on this bb with the same car who have had practically no unscheduled maintenance issues.
Like any car, have it checked out by a knowledgeable mechanic, and try and get the maintenance history on the car. I did both, but oh well. I spent $1200 on an extended warranty, and so far it's covered $900 in parts and labor.
