Advice on buying a 95 Cav

Hey all. I am going to look at a 95 Cav with over 100K miles on it. I know pretty much all the 94-98 economy type cars are made a little shoddy, but don't know much about these. What are your thoughts on the car and what if anything specific I should look at. I have had ten cars and am pretty good at a look-over, and I know to ask about any head gasket replacement....but other than that I don't know whats up. So any input would be great. I think its a base 5-speed, most likely the 2.2. The guy is at $1500 so I don't expect a mint car, but it has to be reliable for a while, I need a car so I can get a j-o-b.

Thanks again

why dont u save up some more cash, i bought a 2.2l 3spd 99 coupe ac, cd player, rear wing spoiler, and in great condition. with 84000k miles for only 3k

that would be fine and all but I need a car now so that I can get to a job, and since I am uneployed its kinda hard to save up money. I did get the car though and have already put 2500 miles on it and its doing great!!! Already bought a cold air kit and all around altezza's and some 18" motegi's. It's surprisingly quick too!!
