Timing belt ( or is the 4 cylinder a chain?) and water pump done on time?

Above is good, plus....

obviously all fluids, including trans, diffs, coolant (& thermostat/WP), TC, brake fluid and power steering. Plugs and plug wires (if original--will say Sumitomo 1998). Inspect brakes (pads, shoes, e-brake operation). Grease driveline. Air filter. Test fan clutch. Clean MAF & TB. Check steering rack bushings and all suspension components--ball joints, sway bar bushings/links, tie rod ends, etc.

You could do O2 sensors if believed to be old or engine not running 100%, or just wait for them to throw codes.
