Jason,
When looking at the S models, I would suggest sticking between 88 and 90. In 91 we got the 2.1L engine, a little more torque, a few more HP, a few (some would say a lot) more problems. Don't get me wrong, I love my 91 S, but to do over I would probably have kept looking for a 90. Could have gotten the 2L engine with the ABS and Air Bag(SRS). The SRS is a mixed blessing, safer, but requires expensive service at the ten year mark. If the SRS light on the dash stays lit or blinks, it needs the service. If it doesn't, make sure the light does come on when first starting the engine. Some folks will remove the light bulb. Even without the bag, the c900 is a very safe car.
Good luck,
jay
