that isn't that much of a step up. And assuming your car is '91 or newer with the 2.3, the car you're getting is for all practical purposes identical. If it had 50k it would be one thing, but at 90K it's just on the verge of needing all of the expensive things that anyone who spends much time on this board knows tend to happen in the 100k to 150K range. Your current car has probably had most of them done already. Whether you sell it yourself or take wholesale from the dealer you'll get zip for your car and then spend $6K or more to get into this car. If you are going to spend money to make a change, spend a little more and get something (with 40K or 50K)that will give you two or three years of relatively trouble free driving (while you pay off the loan). If you can't find a 9K, think about a 9-3 or 9-5.
