I would try to make sure that the car was properly cared for by the previous owner...check the oil dipstick and check that there's no metal particles or any varnish buildup indicating that the oil wasnt changed regularly ..Was the transmission serviced??? extremely important. The rear end should have been serviced by now as well...if unsure have it serviced....test drive the car thoroughly!! turn on the ac make sure that it works and the car doesnt over heat since summer is almost here. the only drawback I can think of is 93,000 miles... things can and probably will go bad...a common one is the alternator and the water pump...but if you like the car and its a good price...go for it. Others will chime in as well good luck.
