The weak point on the V6 is the timing belt. The belt should be changed every 30-35K mi. Find out when it was done last. If you can't get that info have it changed just to be safe.
The V6 is a zero clearance engine. If the belt breaks it is the repair cost is frightening ($5000+).
Changing the back 3 spark plugs requires removing the plenum.
Aside from these issues The V6 is not a bad engine. I have a 95 V6, my wife's car is a 97 Turbo. IMHO the V6 is smoother and has much better low end torque. There's not much difference at the top end. We have had the turbo less than a week, but so far the V6 seems to get better gas mileage.
