Hello!

As far as I know, 2liter engines have numerous issues, such as crank sensor, idle control valve, breather pipes but all in all pretty solid car. There are also 2.2 straight 4, 2.5(turbo diesel) straight 6, 2.5 V6, 2.6, 3.0 and 3.2. More experienced mechanics will tell you closer details. Also from what I know, chassis wise, pre 1999 models have trouble with corrosion so you might wanna look underneath the car as well.
Hope this helps
