what should i look for?

I found a 94 mx-3 for 1800. it seems to be in good shape, i am going to take a look at it tomorrow.
The price seems really good for the car am i correct? I've checked other prices and the KBB price and it seems pretty low.
From what i understand it has to be a RS because the GS models were discontinued in 94 in the US correct?
I was just wondering what i should have an eye out for. The owner said he bought the car from someone else for his son a couple months ago but his son joined the army so he's selling it now. he has no records or anythign and didtn ask them from the previous owner.
Could you guys tell me the most common problems at 115k miles? i assume things like the timing belt would never have lasted this long correct?
Would the alternator have lasted until now?
What about the suspension components? how and what should i check? does the car have cv boots? how can i check them?
What else should i look for that are common problems in these cars? Thanks a lot.
