Looking to buy '02 or '03 Monte SS

I am wondering if I should stay away from the Supercharged motors or if they are as good as the regular 3.8's. Also other than the intake gaskets, are there any known issues w/ these cars that I can visually check for? Thanks!

The 2004 + Super Charged ones are just as good as the N/A ones. the only thing i can think of is check the Trans fluid. If the cars been beat on and the trans was not maintained it could spell trouble ahead, these poor trans are flaky as it is is.
