I would certainly check the oil before you start up. Maybe pull the plugs and see what kind of shape they're in; ditto for the cap and rotor. Beyond that, see how she runs, then just change the fluid and air filters and maybe put a can of Techron in the tank.

The 92 is more refined (better AC, ABS, air bag) and of course it has the newer injection system; I believe the '84 has the K-jetronic. Beyond that the cars are pretty similar. Certainly some of the veteran Brickboarders who own vintage as well as newer 240's can comment on the relative reliability.
