Sounds awesome.  What color? 

Some of them leak oil.  My 95 did in a couple of places: oil cooler line 'O' rings and pan gasket.  My 99 doesn't leak at all.

Get it looked at by an experienced mechanic if you can. 

I've had two of these cars and still find them amazing.  Oh, and when you pick it up, be sure to take a radar detector along.  It's really hard to crawl along at the speed limit.
