What to look for when you buy a 93 Geo? Particular issues I should know about?

Hey there!
I'm new to the group, and I have a question for you!

(first, English is not my 1st language, so I'm sorry if I don't write very well!)

I always loved the small Geos, and I think I have a sweet deal comming.
I'm going to pay a visit to a white '93 2 doors automatic in a few days.
All original, only 32,000 miles on it (52,000km).
New tires (winter and summer), new battery, new timing belt+water pump (I guess..?).
Oil changed every 3500 miles (something like that).
No rust (hardly) on the body. Always cared at the original dealer.
Belong to an old lady, the car always sleep in a heated garage.
I live in Montreal - Canada, and it's kind of rare to find a '93 rust free car...

So here's my question :
Is there something that I should pay extra attention when I'm gonna check it out?
Any particular issues on the '93 (or so...) that I should be concern? (rust on wishbone, particular seals?)
Any particular care (necessary or preventive) that should have been given to the car that I should know about?
The old lady have all maintenance bill + original buying contract, so should I look at something particular in the history?

I used to have a '95 sedan fews years back, but the previous owner didn't take really good care of it, so it started to fall in pieces when I got it... Happens quite often to Canadian cars !
But, still, I loved this car, and this time I want to make it right !

So is there something specific I should know?
What do you looked for when you bought yours?

Let me know, thanks guys !
