looking at 95 Lumina

Not sure if anyone can help but I am looking at buying a 95 Lumina with 154000 miles on it. I am going to go test drive it this week. What are some of the issues the lumina's from that year have that I should be aware of.
Thanks to anyone that can help
Jim

The 3100sfi has the plastic intake gaskets.Fel-Pro has come out with updated intake gaskets for the 3100sfi,made out of metal with rubber sealing areas instead of plastic.
