THere are good '95 and '96 ones. Keep in ming that these years had teh v6 and teh 30kmi timing belt change interval. THe production numbers were low and a few grenaded v6's would really throw off teh statistics. Look for a well cared for 4cyl turbo. make mindful evaluation of teh clutch and shift linkage as well as front suspension noises. Suspension was not fixed until the 9^3, shift linkage in late '97, and clutch not until teh 9^3 (cable -> hydraulic). Stay away from the 9k's, I am looking for one ;-) KeithG > Natural Light Black and White Photography > http://home.att.net/~geost/ > -George- > >
