Depends how picky and how attuned to automotive maintenance you are. I guarantee things like struts, suspension bushings, and motor mounts are going to be pretty worn at 155k but most people drive along happily without ever noticing.
Another thing to look out for is the automatic transmission with 155k on it.
Interior bits on these fade and crack with age and things will rattle, but other than that, yeah, they last forever. You'll start to have typical things that go out on any car, such as power steering rack leaking, water pumps, etc. However parts are extremely cheap.
I have a 95 with 170k on it, 2.2L with manual 5 speed. Just put about $700 into it in struts, motor mounts, new brake rotors, control arm bushings, etc. Rides like brand new again.
Takes a quart or so between oil changes, still gets 400-450 miles per 14 gal fill up (28-32 mpg).
