Question 96 lumina: should I?

New Here. I'm looking at a 96 lumina tomorrow. Guy wants $2,500.00. I know absolutely nothing about it as I have not looked at it up close. no test drive etc.
However, my question is : what type of motor is in the 96 lumina sedans: interference-type? or non-interference? And, how reliable is this year~make~model? Thanks..jd

Re: 96 lumina: should I?

I own a '96 Monte Carlo LS and paid $2,850 for it, and it's been a good car. It more than likely has either a 3100 or a 3400, both pushrod engines(non-interference). Leaking intake gaskets, however, can ruin these engines!!
