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!

Sounds good, go for it. 95k on that car is nothing. good luck with it.

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.
