Steve, this is not strictly responsive to your question, but I believe that the 1992 model represents a better value. This car has the same "systems" as the 1993 (TCS, Trionic) but has the original 9000 body style. More importantly, it is geared lower than the 1993 and later cars, and thus provides better performance, up to around 80mph anyway. A 1992 5-door Turbo, i.e. an unbadged Aero, will blow away a 93 or later (badged) Aero. And there's a HUGE price break between 1992 and 1993.
For the 1992s expect some TCS problems, expect a heater core failure at 100k miles, expect lots of broken motor mounts, and of course the automatic transmission is a P.O.S.
Good luck.
Rafe, satisfied 92 owner
