Should i get it ?

i found a 93 Se 5spd with 95k for 4,200 good conddition no dents . ive been looking mainly for a 4th gen but i came accross this and am seriously considering it now. no loan would be nice. plus 3rd gens quality is much better then the 4th gens. think i might get it. ive allready owned two 3rd gens so i know i will be happy with it. tell me what you guys think

i did a search on the VTC issue and grounding them or something...how much does it cost to have the VTC's fixed ? and Grounding only helps the problem a little, am i right ?

My buddy just bought one with just a little less mileage for about the same price. Go for it!

Those VTC's can get pricy. I've seen up to $2500 just to have them replaced. You can ground them also. Craig(I believe) has a page dedicated to grounding them. Trust me, you're gonna love a VE 5 Speed!

it's about to hit 100K, which means that you'll have to change the timing chain and do tune-up junk. if you don't do that yourself, it'll cost around 500-700. just a heads up. good luck.
