buying a 92 se, what should I look for????
Hi. I'm going to look at a 92 se auto. with 160K miles on it tommorow. Is there any specific "problems" I should be looking for? I am aware of the VTC problem, but does anyone know of any other common problems? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!

I have a 92 SE auto, and have experience with a couple of other SE's. (1)The exhaust manifold has a tendency to warp, pulling one side away from the engine, and breaking the bolts ($800 from my dealer who told me this is fairly common). (2)The tranny starts acting up after 125k miles. Hard shifts, delayed shifts, but still drivable(and the dealer keeps telling me it is fine). (3)A bushing in the trans selector does wear out. this is NOT mechanical, it does not hinder the drivability of the car, it is a pain, however.
Bought the car with 39k on it in 95, now have 136k. Aside from manifold, this car has been EXTREMELY reliable.
Good luck with it.
