Have a shop you trust look it over to see what has been done to it. at 168. you should have about another 30k or so before it needs a timing belt/water pump. Have them see if it has been tuned up. The vibration could be a bad tire or suspension part, rotate the tires front to back and see if the stereing wheel quits shaking
