New 96 cavalier, few questions

[NickCiufi]

Hello all...long time reader and first time poster with a couple of questions.

First, as of friday I am the proud owner of a 96 Chevy Cavalier. It's a 2 door coupe, 2.2 Liter (I think) for future reference. I have a couple of questions about the car that I doubted the dealer would answer honestly, so I decided to ask them here.

1st question: The car has 91k miles...are there any documented issues with the car happening in the next 30k or so miles?
2nd question: When I accelerate at a quick rate the right side of my hood (my right side as the driver, near the front passenger side tire) makes an unusual clicking noise. It's not very noticible, but it's something I'm worried about. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any and all help you give me.

I haven't heard of any higher mileage issues with that particular vehicle personally. As for the clicking noise, it could be a number of things. See if you can pinpoint where the clicking is coming from, most times clicking noises are from suspension components or axles.
