I need help on what to look for when purchasing a car of this type. The one I am currently looking at is a 93 V6 with 143xxx miles. Pictures make it appear to be in good condition other than a little fading on the what I would assume is the original paint job. I am taking it for a test drive tomorrow. I need to know what to look for in handling, engine noise, and etc. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

 

First thing is first, are you soul bent on getting strictly a '93? If not, go '96 or newer. Better V6 engine to start with and OBD-II helps with computer diagnostics.

 

Welcome. Was the 95 3.8 diff from the 96 I know it was a mid year option but I thought it was the same

 

i would look at the motor really close, 3.4 is a good motor but prone to head gasket failure. keep in mind the 4th gen is motor specific so if you want a bigger motor its smarter to sell it and find one thats got what you want. its not just a change the motor job.

 

'95 3.8 OBD-II cars were only Cali. No other was required to have them till '96
