<<From what I've been reading here, the problems with the newer cars are relatively minor by comparison with your '92.>>
You KNEW that sooner or later a '92 owner would respond to that, right?
"Generally speaking", I guess I would have to agree with you; HOWEVER, I would say it all depends on the individual car and the care it's been given - especially as time goes on.
I'd even go as far as to say that if the tranny overheating problem has been addressed with a cooler and/or the newer '94-on radiator, that a '92 might be the more desirable.
But that's coming from a '92 owner . . .
