Not a huge 95 fan! that is a a hell of way to start a post asking about advice on a 95 specific forum. ;-)
I had a 1997 9000 Aero and loved it. We have 4 95 Aeros in our family from 2001 to 2004. 2 wagons and 2 sedans. 3 of the Aeros are over 175,000 miles. The 2001 wagon only has 70K on it.
Aeros are well worth it that is what I would look for. I don't like the dash and GM decontenting after 2005.
The 95 is a reliable car. At that mileage you should have the maintenance records and be sure synthetic was used and changed at 5K intervals.
I would make sure the belt and pulleys are in good shape. Heater by-pass valve can be a problem, but not expensive.....or you can put in a MacKay hose set that gets rid of the bypass valve.
Rear springs can sag on the wagon and that will change alignment. Spacers are the answer and not expensive. Shocks and struts can lose damping by that mileage.
I am sure others will chime in.
