Really early cars ('86 in particular) had issues with wiring harnesses degrading due to engine heat. There's lots of little bits of the car that year that are specific to that year. '87-onwards had the usual ABS issues, early DI cassettes on '90-turbos, and so forth. That said, I've had a couple '86s, an '88 and an early Aero. Automatic transmissions are something I'd skip, personally.
Good early 9000s are getting hard to find in the southwest and in California, probably impossible in the south, and very difficult in the east and midwest. I'd look in Cal, Oregon or Washington, with Colorado being another place where they've held up, rust-wise.
Happy hunting--
