Welllllll.....
If it's an automatic, you've got a problem right there. 900 automatics are generally troublesome and terribly poor performers. If you can drive a stick, I'd keep looking.
Also, the '91+ non-turbo cars use a 2.1l engine which has a bad reputation. Deck erosion and chronic head gasket failures seem to be pretty common.
With both of these major components prone to failure, you might wanna keep looking. On the other hand, with low mileage and good records, you may be able to keep this car going for a long time with good care. I suspect it's a bit of a gamble. If you're looking for a "sure thing," find a 5-speed car with a 2.0l engine (turbo or not) in similar shape.
