Just did a quick search and found this:

I have no idea how reliable this source is but might be useful to keep an eye, or ear, open for any of the listed problems when you test drive it.
Just remember that it's not a Toyota or Honda and is nearly 20 years old now. If it has no major problems and you get it cheap enough, then it may well be good value.
