Alright. I'm planning on buying an FD by this summer, and I was wondering what a decent price was for a stock 93. I've seen a very large range of prices. And is there anything specific that's known to go wrong with the FDs that I should look for? If everything works out, you'll be seeing alot more of me in the 3rd gen. forum.

the only things i havent seen fail on an fd, are the driveshaft, and the aws solenoid. everything else needs to be looked at to see if its broken/leaking

Yeah be careful with who you buy from. Take my advice....I am also looking for a third gen. When you tell them you are interrested in their car tell them you are looking for one with problems because you want to spend alot of time fixing it up. You will be amazed on how many things they can find wrong.

yea but with vosko around i think we can expect to see those remaining things broke...the driveshaft is the main weak link he has left, technically

Ooooohhh....Good one. But it is so true!! I didn't find my car...It found me. Now that I am looking for one again, I see alot that look nice and have alot to offer but just dont seem right! Don't expect to find one and Bam! Its in your driveway. I talked to the previous owner every night for a month just talking about the car. If you think you found a car that you like...sit in it. If you feel all tingly inside.....thats it!! :bigthumg:

That's exaclty how I was.. once I got in it.. I didn't want to get out.. in fact I didn't. I drove it around a few blocks and then.. :bigthumg:
