Help - opinions on 94 LSi?

Folks,
New to the SVX and this website. I'm looking at a 94 LSi with 113K miles on it, greenish/blue (??) with tan interior.
Asking price $3200.
Any particular advice what to beware of or what to especially check? Anything prone to hidden problems, or prone to failure?
Supposedly timing belt replaced recently.
I noted that the steering box was noisy when turning. Is this normal?
Appreciate any of your years of experience.

Jugga,
Thanks for fast and great reply. BTW, I tried to get your description on woof and sound system install (mentioned under your sign-off), but couldn't download it (it's a wps file). Any hints how to get it?
Thanks again.

I actually lost the original file and every time I try to convert it messes with me :P but I'll see what I can do.

What do you mean by the steering "box" was noisy?

Crummy box or not I think you'll find this car is much more comfortable than the Sea Duck.
