Although your looking at buying a car with a lot less miles then what I bought mine for, here are some problems you may encounter.
I bought my 99, wiht 121k miles. And within the first 6 months I spent over $2,000 replacing it. I replaced the serpentine belt, the water pump, the rear exhaust, the glove box, the brakes, and the flex pipe. However I just got unlucky and bought what seems to be a lemon, but the one problem I had that seems alot of people also had was what is known as a "Code 08" It's when the drivers side fans stop blowing hot air, this seemingly simple problem, is a $2500 fix. So see if you can get that checked out before you purchase your car, it seems that this problem isn't dependant on the year or how many miles you've driven it, but just your luck.
But after all the money I've put into this car, it's still worth every penny. I'm willing to put in $2000 every year into my car, becasue of how much I enjoy driving it, that says something.
