Robert, see my post/thread from a few days ago re: timing belt replacement schedule. The v6 is a fine engine,decent power, although it needs some babying. Be sure to change the oil regularly, that's the most important thing you can do for the seals and gaskets.
You should review the service history to see what's been done. If maintained, there's no generalized need to worry. How many miles? Valve cover gaskets are the most common point of concern, if they leak its a DIY if you are inclined, get all greasy and look cool for the chicks. Fix 'em before they leak on everything else. Maybe have a mechanic inspect the serpentine belt if not replaced recently, all the utilities run off of it.
You should definitely bookmark this site and quietly (all capitals is considered shouting on the web) but quickly post a question or search old posts if something arises no matter how small, someone here has seen it before and can help, and a lot of problems you can fix yourself quicker than you can bring it to the dealer.
