the only problems with your year/model has to do with the brakes. The rear calipers are common to freeze up if you don't use the e-brake on occasion. Other than that, don't let it run hot and keep the oil changed and you should be good for 200+k miles.

Don't let it run hot is really, really good advice. I blew a head gasket and ended up having to swap engines. Excellent, excellent extremely reliable engine with 219,000 miles on it prior to that

my 91 grand prix (same basic car) has 235k, still gets better than 25mpg, and uses no oil or coolant whatsoever (knock on wood). I wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere.
