I bought a similar car and even after a few grand worth of hoses, filters, tires you name it, I still ran into a few small issues in the first thousand or so miles. Nothing that would make me not buy the car if I could go back in time, but expect a couple random things to pop up.

My 1992 was in storage for 15 years and the biggest issue for me was the fuel system but if yours is running as it should, then that issue is behind you. I agree with the others that all rubber parts need a careful inspection. Pay really close attention to the fuel lines and in a car this old, you may well want to replace them anyway. Replace the brake fluid if not already done and invest in new tires. Check to make sure there are no outstanding recalls or service bulletins that need to be addressed.

There are products that will help soften door weatherstripping and soften/rejuvenate leather. Good luck on this project if you proceed!
