You have a lot more to worry about than handling and reliability on a 400$ fox body

^^^^^hahahaha TRUE!!!

I got into an 83 with a little rust and solid strut towers for 700. Since I have bought a new transmission, engine accessories, distributor, instrument cluster and now its onto brakes and tires. Just to get the SOB moving.

They are easy to fix and reliable (at least I think so). Just normal maintenance. What all do you know other than the price? Most likely the paint is trash, it has rust under it and the interior is garbage. Restoration parts are easy to get ahold of as well. Your 96 handles better from the factory and probably rides smoother but with a little work a fox will handle great. Just gotta choose the right parts.
