wrong section BTW

they are all the same.. well kinda.. but not really.. lol

what style are you looking to get? they are all good. aero nose? 4eye? gt, lx hatch or notch? auto or 5spd? modded or stock? it all affects the price

and ull pay what the car is worth. depends on condition, mods, etc. have you at all researched these cars?

89 up are mass air, which is probably something you will want if you decide to build it. 90 up have airbags, so at least on the 90's, no tilt steering wheel, if that matters. 87-93 all have the front end you are looking at, 86 and older are the 4 eyes.

Get a 89! Mines a 89. Forged pistons this year I think. hatch or notch , well I have a hatch and love it, but Id probably buy a notch if I did it again and was wanting to do serious racing w it, I think the notches are lighter and better for making a track car.

definately go 89-93 because those years have mass air and if you are going to get an 87 or 88 your probably going to go mass air anyway unless your going carburated but if your going for mores style go with the gt and i've always loved the hatchback and if you can find one with t-tops or a sunroof those are really nice to have
