to find a nice CS (it has the LPT engine) and convert it to a FPT. Not hard and many here have done so. The rationale is that a CS is probably less likely to have been thrashed or even driven hard. I thought a lot about that when I found my '96 CSE in 2003, but never found a CS I liked enough that had been well maintained and was priced right.
I would recommend a '96 or later. They all had OBD2 and generally seem a bit better sorted, but you'll still run into the typical 9000 quirks. DO drive a bunch of them. I drove about 8-10 cars over a year looking for the right one. This really tells you a lot about the model and what works and doesn't, and there are HUGE differences between individual cars.
Happy hunting! You get a good 9K and you'll start a habit that's hard to break. I'm already looking for my next one, and have 2 candidates.
