I'm looking for a first car for my teenage son, and found a 1998 Olds
Achieva, which is in our price range. It has 101,000 miles, and the
only cosmetic flaw is a small paint chip on the hood. She just
replaced the battery and drive belt. Interior and tires are in great
shape, engine compartment is clean (no obvious leaks/sprays, etc. So
what am I missing?!?!?  I've read some posts about a plastic(?) intake
manifold... with this many miles would that still be an issue (maybe
it's been replaced??)

What else do I need to look for/ask about?  Any help would be
appreciated.
