Beautiful! That's my favorite blue.
Not any chronic electrical issues that I know of. Just things that can typically go with age like top sensors, relays, and door/window micro switches, etc.
There is the most talked about IMS bearing in the engine, but it affects a very tiny percentage of cars. If you ever have the tranny out for any reason, like clutch or rear main seal, you might consider putting in one of the more robust aftermarket IMSBs that addresses the issue. Yours is the old dual-row bearing, so it's the least likely to fail.
A few early models had cylinder liner failure, but again, very small percentage.
For the most part they are very solid reliable cars. Enjoy yours! You gave a good price for such a clean lower mileage example.
