Advice for a used 940 900

I am checking out a 1994 940 over the weekend. It has 160000 miles. From the picture it looks very nice. The owner had it for two years and said he replaced the timing belt and water pump when he bought it. So any suggestions what I should look for and what are the common trouble spots?
Another question is how expensive this car would cost to run well? Do things break often? How hard is it to work on this car? I am fairly mechanic inclined, have replaced the timing belt on my 1990 Acura Legend V6, struts and shocks on my friend's celica, etc. But not sure how hard it'd be to work on the 940. I have to park on the street so may not be able to do jobs that require me to get under the car, which is too dangerous.
I never even poped the hood of 940 before, so any input will be appreciated.
