First SVX purchase, What to look out for?

I'm going to take a look at a green 92 later this evening, which if I buy it will be my first SVX purchase, though not my first Subaru.

Is there anything in particular I should look out for on the car, aside from the general leaks/strange noises/rust and tire wear you would do on any normal vehicle?

I know the wheel bearings are prone to failure on these, and the transmissions can be a trouble spot (going to take a looksie and see if the car has an aftermarket tranny cooler installed) but aside from that don't really know what else.

Inspection is recent, so she passed emissions fine.

Alternator, battery, timing belt and main seals and front tires have been recently replaced according to the ad, and apparently the A/C compressor has a short of some kind, but at $1,900 the car seems like a good deal considering the location (Texas) and the apparent condition of the car.

What do you guys think?
