If it's a GT you should be fine, if it's a base model (LX) with the V6 check and see if the engine has been worked on (head gaskets) or if it's been replaced. Unfortunately the '94-'98 V6 mustangs had a lot of cylinder head gasket failures as well as engine front cover leaks. If you can get the car for a very good price it's probably worth it, but if no work has been done it might be a ticking time bomb. Other than that, mustangs are actually very reliable and fun to drive. Good luck on your purchase.
