Anything in particular that you guys know of that tends to go bad on these or anything like that?
Look for rust inside the wheel wells. Also, make sure that thing shifts into 3rd gear nicely. I would try to shift it fairly quickly and see if it grinds at all. The cold air intake makes me suspicious that this car was probably modded heavily at some point.

You might ask around about how to make sure it's lean burn is working. Not sure you'd be able to tell just from driving it. I'm sure the community can help us with that. In order for lean burn to function correctly, the HX needs:
*The special air sensor
*The stock ECU
*The special catalytic converter setup

Is that all correct?
