Differences
How do you differentiate between a '92 and a '93 GS?
That is, without knowing the VIN, of course...
I'm asking because of this guy:

He's saying it's a '94 (which is clearly a lie). But, what year is it?

Re: Differences
I had a '92, and I remember it exactly like this one. On the other hand, I've seen pics of Chrome's '93, and I can't see any difference either.
Maybe there's no changes between them?

Re: Differences
not really, the difference starts at 93-94 which you already know
Re: Differences
What differences, other than the interior?
I miss the funky clamshell dash of my 96.

Re: Differences
There was something in the suspension that is smaller on the '92 then on the '93+. I just can't remember what it is at this moment...

Re: Differences
My 96 felt like it cornered flatter than my 92. Harsh as hell though, but could be just the struts were going kaput.
Still not sure how I feel about the orange fleck inserts on the navy cloth seats of my 92 - guess it'll grow on me.

Re: Differences
The ball joint post, and the c-clamp on the control arms got larger part way through '93 I believe
Re: Differences

Re: Differences
^This, but only for 1/2 of the 93's I believe. Most of the 92-93 cars look identical. All you need to do is get the VIN, and problem solved. If it comes up as a 94, well, something fishy is going on and I would steer clear.umcamara wrote:The ball joint post, and the c-clamp on the control arms got larger part way through '93 I believe

Re: Differences
Yeah.
I wasn't thinking about buying the car. It just pissed me off that the guy was posting it like a '94, so I wanted to post a reply calling him out.
Thanks everybody for the replies.
