I bought a '98 2.3 lpt SE manual 18 months ago from a dealer and apart from the 3 issues within a couple of months (turbo - reports of faulty banjo bolt from factory causing some failures during 98, throttle body @ 44K) its been very reliable and comfortable.
Just before the warrantee ran out I had the climate display changed as one bar one the drivers temp had gone out twice, not critical but I didn't have to pay.
I get around 30mpg with 50/50 town/open, and nearer 36 on a longer run.
A lot of parts are available from non-dealer outlets, euro car parts, neo brothers, asap-parts, and some shared with other GM vehicles i.e. brake pads and discs, so that keeps the price down.
As the others have said, ask a dealer to get its history.
If you've got any queries, mail me and I'll see if I can help
Cheers
Andy
