But if well maintained, it's a great car, but there is no certainty of that. There more you can find out about the maintenance history of the car, the better. Timing chain may come up at around 100k miles. Gearbox also needs looking at. Other expensive items are the CAT and AC. The turbo lasts extremely well if handled correctly, but probably not if handled carelessly. if If it is an LPT, then there shouldn't be any turbo lag. Which model is it actually? The body changed from 1992 MY hatchback; 9000 CS, 900 CSE. These cars are sleeker IMO. The 9000T was the old body style AFAIK. Johannes 1993 CSE LPT http://sizefitter.com
