Question 95 3.4 L Hard Start Question

I'm looking at a 1995 Camaro with the 3.4L V6 engine. the car is hard to start if it's been sitting for a few hours or overnight. However, once the car has started and has warmed up, it runs fine.
I'm wondering what the issue might be with the hard starting problem and what I'm looking at for cost to repair the problem. There is no check engine light and the engine runs perfectly smooth once it starts. As I said, once it warms up, the engine starts right up with no problems.
Any info is greatly appreciated as I'm looking at buying this car if the cost isn't too much to fix the hard start problem.

Thanks!

well without more info its hard to say. could be the motor is getting tired. how many miles on it. when was the last time it has had a tune up? look to see if the plugs look old, dirty, rusty etc. could just need a tune up. ask if u can run it over to auto zone (or other parts store that will do it) to have it scanned for trouble codes. ses light does not stay on for some things it stores.

The car doesn't turn over slow at all. The oil is clean and the exhaust is clean as well. Once the car starts, the engine runs great and there is no "hiccups" or sputtering. When the car is put in gear the engine runs fine and doesn't act like it wants to stall either. With the exception of the cold hard start, there doesn't seem to be any issues at all with the car.
