I say if the car is in good shape and looks well maintained, go for it! As said above, these cars are a blast to drive.

My car ran a 17.2 @ 82.56mph in the 1/4 (Mystique, V6, Auto, fully loaded) with my brother in the car, full tank of gas, small set of tools, etc. About a week later (and in no way, shape or form related, maybe some performance though) started stuttering when there was less than 1/4 a tank of gas. I knew it was a clogged up in-tank fuel filter, got that fixed yesterday and the car runs like new again.

There are some minor bugs with these cars, as said. Be sure to find out the build date and see if they can tell you, or show receipts for all maintenance work done to the car. Maintenance is key to keep a car running good!
