Pretty much one major thing to worry about is the head gaskets. They have a tendency to go out around 100,000 miles so see if it was done or not.
Also, I would suggest to find the 2000 or 2001 model RS because of the SOHC and rear lsd that the 98 and 99 don't have.
Also, here is a site for RS's. rs25.com. There is a lot of useful information on there.
