88 hp is easily changed, i have with my 92 4-cyl. <P>anyways, that is too much. i paid 1800 for a 92 1.6L with 101,000. no cosmetics and in good shape overall.

Yes, listen for the CV joints because these cars are around the milage when they need replacing. Ask when last the timing belt was changed - again they are around due for new ones. The 93 would be the better one to get if you are looking for age. as for price, too expensive - 92 you should be able to work down to US$2000 or less and 93 around US$2500 or less. Also depends on the condition of the cars. If they are in really good condition then they may be worth that much. :roll:
