I would check for oil leaks. The rear main seal is an expensive repair. Check to see when the timing belt was changed and hopefully they did the 2 seals behind the timing belt. Make sure the AC works, the 94/95 they had a tendacy for the evaporators to go out; there buried in the dash another pricey fix. The front oxygen senors needs to be cleaned often every 5k or so or replaced. These Bosch o2 senors are pricey check to see when they where replaced; there is a fron and back. I have my 94 for 13 years great to drive.
