My 93 has 240,000 miles on it and runs beautifully. About the most expensive problem you would run into as far as reliability goes would probably be the distributor. If it goes bad I believe its about $200 if you do it yourself and it is not hard. Mine went at about 210,000 miles. The Alty is great in the snow. If you get a 93 that has ABS, then you may get one with a Limited Slip Differential. In that case, you have a legitimate snow rabbit there. I'll be glad to answer any questions about the 1st gen. They are great cars.

Yep, we picked her up... Im driving her back to Erie Sunday. She had to get some bushings replaced at inspection but runs much smoother now. Ill take some pics when i pickup my camera tommarow. It also has a Supra style wing on the back, I dunno if Im feeling it, but we'll see... I'll give it timeThanks! : Jon
