Welcome to CL. This is widely asked and if you search you will see multiple threads on it. However, the timing belt is the biggest factor as it should have been changed B4 100,000 miles. If it has not been changed it will need to be done soon. It can cost over $1,000. Others include suspension components like struts, control arms and lower ball joints.
Black on tan - nice

7k is a good deal. my dealership just sold a 98 blue on tan with similar mileage for like 8900.
just make sure the TB/WP have been changed. at 125k if it hasnt been changed you will need to do it.
