Not a bad car, really.

Slow compared to most cheap modern cars, but not that bad. Every car doesn't have to be a race car...

The MB-Tex interior should be pretty much indestructible, but find one width no splits or tears, and fine one with no cracks in the dash...

Car is super easy to work on and maintain, so learn to do that yourself, and save money.

If it's shifting poorly (most do at this age...) be sure to revamp the vacuum system. Most plastic components have failed at this point, but they're easy to replace and adjust. Learn how the vacuum system works, and your life will be easier...

it's a perfectly fine car, just buy one priced at the mid to high end of the market range to avoid the shagged ex taxis and ghettomobiles.
